Democrat Support for Amnesty Threatens Their Most Loyal Voters
Townhall.com ^ | August 7, 2014 | Larry Elder

In 1964, Malcolm X chastised black people for their blind allegiance to the Democratic Party.

He said: "You put them first, and they put you last -- 'cause you're a chump. A political chump! ... Anytime you throw your weight behind a political party that controls two-thirds of the government, and that Party can't keep the promise that it made to you during election time, and you are dumb enough to walk around continuing to identify yourself with that Party -- you're not only a chump but you're a traitor to your race."

The Democratic Party embraces "comprehensive immigration reform," which is code for amnesty, which, in turn, is code for "keep the borders porous so that we get a constant stream of new Democratic voters and cheap labor."

Attorney Peter Kirsanow, one of eight members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, says that unskilled illegal aliens pose an economic threat to unskilled Americans, a disproportionate amount of who are black.

Last year, Kirsanow, along with two other committee members, sent a letter to his congresswoman, Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. The letter advised Fudge and the rest of the caucus to oppose the Democrats' proposed amnesty legislation. "Illegal immigration," said the letter, "has a disparate impact on African-American men because these men are disproportionately represented in the low-skilled labor force. ... The obvious question is whether there are sufficient jobs in the low-skilled labor market for both African-Americans and illegal immigrants. The answer is no. ... Granting amnesty to illegal immigrants will only further harm African-American workers."

What about the urban crime caused by some illegal aliens?

From Oct. 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014, over 57,000 unaccompanied alien children, or UACs, have been apprehended entering the country illegally. Many voluntarily turn themselves over to authorities with the goal of obtaining "permiso" to remain in the country. Not only do they pose a threat to jobs, but also we have no idea how many are intent on entering the country to commit crimes. According to Pew Research, some 85 to 90 percent of the "children" apprehended at the border are teens, between 13 and 17 years of age.

In Los Angeles, in 2008, 17-year-old high school academic/athletic scholar Jamiel Shaw was shot and killed just three doors away from his house while walking home from the mall at 8:40 p.m. The student athlete with a solid GPA was a promising football star who had been named the Southern League's most valuable player, and he'd recently received phone calls from schools like Rutgers and Stanford. His killer? An illegal alien who had served time in jail for assault with a deadly weapon and been released one day earlier by police who, apparently, never bothered to check his immigration status.

Hours after his release, he killed Shaw. Shaw's crime? Wearing a red Spider-Man backpack. The color red, in the mind of the killer, meant that Shaw was member of some rival gang. He was not.

Only days ago, four people were arrested for the beating death of a Chinese graduate student attending USC, a school located right in inner-city Los Angeles. One of the four admitted that, seven years ago, he entered the country illegally. Whether, as was the case with Shaw's killer, this illegal alien had a post-entry arrest record, we don't yet know.

In Maryland, just days ago, six young Hispanics -- illegal aliens, according to a local ABC affiliate -- were arrested for stabbing to death a black homeless man. Several of the alleged killers admitted belonging to the notorious MS-13 gang.

Republicans should exploit the Democratic embrace of "comprehensive immigration reform" by emphasizing the threat illegal aliens pose to jobs. Back in 1994, the majority of California's black voters supported Proposition 187, which would have prevented illegal aliens from getting taxpayer-paid public education and non-emergency medical benefits. Opponents challenged it in court, and the governor ultimately gutted the proposition. But it passed not only among the majority of white voters, but the majority Asian and black voters as well.

The GOP has a lot to make the case for the black vote. Consider:

Black voters support voter photo ID, despite Attorney General Eric Holder's denunciation of such laws as "racist." Some polls put black support for voter ID at over 70 percent.

While Obama pursues "economic justice," black Democrats like Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., have called the black unemployment rate "unconscionable."

Polls show inner-city parents want vouchers so they can opt out of underperforming government schools. So do Republicans.

Republicans support securing our borders before discussing the legalization for the 10-12 million estimated illegal aliens here now. Recent polls show Republicans put "stopping the flow of illegal aliens" as their top legislative issue.

In 1964, blacks voted 80 percent Democratic. Fifty years later, it's 95 percent. What would Malcolm say?

“Comprehensive immigration reform” equals a very depressing effect on legitimate US citizens who happen to fall in the low end of economic achievement, in particular, the permanent underclass that find among their numbers a goodly part of young black men.

Already disproportionately in abundance in the prison population, the frictions generated there between the young blacks and the newer even more disadvantaged illegal immigrants only point to still more unrest in our existing penitentiaries. But this would be as nothing in the wider world outside jail, in that there are just so many more ways to work mischief on each other.

“Affirmative action” will be redirected from its emphasis on the black underclass, and applied to the non-English-speaking new “minority”, who have even less allegiance to the abstraction known as “America”, than the black youth they are displacing.

But these newly displaced black youth have nowhere to go, or at least, they believe they do not. And like steam building in a closed chamber, the pressure will continue to grow until it no longer can be contained.

In an abstract way, it may be interesting to watch, but nobody wants to be close to the place where the system fails altogether and catastrophically.

I agree. The late Terry Anderson, African-American civil rights activist and talk show host, effectively explained the harm done to this country and specifically to black communities by illegal aliens.

The Dems have a vested interest in illegal immigration.

In 2012 MR defeated BHO by 20% among white voters.

If demographic factors in this country had not changed so drastically over the last several decades, that fact alone would have guaranteed MR a landslide victory similar to RN’s in 1972 and RR’s in 1984.

Look at my state-—CA-— as a prime example. It voted GOP in every presidential election from 1952 up to 1992 (except for 1964). Changing demographic factors have since turned the state solid blue. Not even RR could win a statewide election here anymore.

It makes not one bit of difference who the Rats peeoff if they achieve amnesty and dominate voting in perpetuity! Once that is obtained, the fun begins, and nothing else matters.

"Why not use send flyers into ghettos showing the fine living quarters of illegals?"

That is an excellent idea. However, I would wager to bet that the RNC would not touch it with a 10 foot pole even if it guarantied them a massive election win.

“I think the vast majority of the “black community” are too brainwashed and conditioned to think logically about politics.”

They are like crabs. Put them all in a bucket and when one figures out how to escape, they all pull him back into the bucket.

There needs to be a real conservative PAC that doesn’t give a flip what the GOPe thinks.

Let me elaborate on what Malcolm said. If you're a 100% always Democrat, you're a a chump and a traitor to your race, regardless of whether that race is white or black.

It's time to out demagogue the demagogues--I've always thought that turnabout is fair play in this regard. The Democrats have been masters of the Divide--why not divide the dividers?

As someone who has seen first hand how the politics of a high school that is 30/30/30 % black/hispanic/white…I know that the minorities are very jealous of one another, while the whites keep a low profile. Why we have not turned this to our advantage--well, we are the stupid party.

I come from there, and can tell you that it's true. The libtard conditioning amongst most blacks is so solid, you can almost reach out and touch it.

GOPe fights harder against conservatives than they do liberal democrats. I am not sure how that happened but it is proven every election cycle.
