Chuck Schumer: Tea Party Opposes Immigration for Making America 'Less White'
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | January 26, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 01/27/2014 2:32:29 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), once part of the "Gang of Eight" in the Senate that wrote the immigration bill that the Congressional Budget Office determined would lower the wages of American workers, believes that conservatives are opposed to amnesty because they don't want America to become "less white."

"Yes, things have changed. White Anglo-Saxon men are not exclusively running the country anymore," he said Thursday. "President Obama lost the white male vote 35 to 62 percent yet he recaptured the presidency – by 5 million votes and a resounding electoral college margin."

Schumer said the changing demographics also "[explain] why so many on the right vehemently opposed the Senate immigration bill."

"In a pre-tea party world, the Senate immigration bill would have been welcomed by House Republicans," he said. "However, the tea party rank and file know it's a different America. It looks different; it prays different; it works different. This is unsettling and angering to some."(continued)

Thousands of Muslims will qualify for amnesty.

Im wondering about some of the Neocons who are not concerned about amnesty.

Out of 12 million officially is there 50,000 or 100,000 Muslims?

There will be Arabs on expired visas who can work airport security.

And, in a pre-liberal world, illegal immigration would've been opposed by Senate Democrats. However, the liberal leadership would know that means the same old America. It looks the same; it prays; it works. This is unsettling and angering to liberals.

There is only one way to stop this. Conservatives MUST start calling everything the left does “racist”. Make the word meaningless.

They think the race card is kryptonite. Neutralize it or it will neutralize us.
