Since the 1965 Immigration Act, our pro-population growth immigration policies have fueled major demographic changes in a very short period of time. In 1970, non-Hispanic whites comprised 89 percent of the population; today they are 66 percent; and by 2042, they will be 50 percent. The Democrats, under the banner of multiculturalism and diversity, have forged a political coalition that depends on individuals coalescing around racial and ethnic identities rather than the issues. The continuing and increasing flow of minority immigrants, mostly poor and uneducated, provides a natural constituency for the Democrats, which see them as their principal source of political power.
87 percent of the 1.2 million legal immigrants entering annually are minorities as defined by the U.S. Government and almost all of the illegal aliens are minorities. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under in the U.S. will be classified as minorities and by 2042, half of the residents of this country will be minorities. Generally, immigrants and minorities vote predominantly for the Democrat Party. Hence, Democrats view immigration as a never-ending source of voters that will make them the permanent majority party.
“Agree, but an amnesty will just hasten the process. We are bringing in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year. They will vote Dem two to one. Our electorate has been changed dramatically by immigration since the 1965 Immigration Act.”
Always appreciate your posts, but you realize that even if things remain at the status quo, even this dooms Euros and conservatism in America.
From my viewpoint, immigration in America is going in one of two directions:
1. It will pretty much continue to go as it is now, as there will never be consensus to make existing laws more restrictive, or
2. We will get amnesty, and tumble into the breach at ever-increasing speed.
Not an optimistic view, but that’s how I see it...
