I like Rush’s plan...make every undocumented Democrat legal but make them wait 25 years before they can vote...
...then watch the Dems run for the hills.
They can all vote now if they want to thanks to Motor Voter. All they have to do is mail in a postcard to register. No proof of citizenship or residency required. Thank Bill Clinton and Fat Teddy.
Rush knows very little about the immigration issue. the dems would love to have an amnesty even if the lawbreakers can't vote immediately. They will be joined by tens of millions of their family members thru chain migration, i.e, family reunification.
Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here, the object of their crime, is amnesty. A path to citizenship is a bonus. Giving them green cards entitles them to all the benefits of citizenship except voting. They can receive welfare and entitlement benefits, SSNs, driver's licenses, work permits etc.
Let's not focus on voting as the central issue. It should be legalizing their status.
And let's get real about legal immigration. Every ten years we have what amounts to an amnesty. With 1.2 million LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ENTERING ANNUALLY, they will be able to vote eventually and two thirds of them will vote Dem. Illegal immigration is the shiny little bauble that distracts us from the real game changer--legal immigration. The status quo will make the Dems the permanent majority party. Amnesty just hastens the process.
