Thanks for your reply:
>>>”The advantage of addressing immigration is its simplicity. Most immigrants vote Democrat. Stop them from becoming citizens and there are fewer Democrat voters.”
Seems to me you have identified the bigger problem: “Democrat voters.”
Immigration isn’t the problem. Why do they vote democrat? Why are democrat voters a problem?
What is the real problem here?
The democrat voter base is comprised of takers. We have a government that increasing rewards takers and punishes producers.
As long as you have a big government rewarding dependents, you will have democrat voters such as we are growing. And you will have immigrants finding a way to get in to get free stuff.
If you had immigrants wanting to get in to be producers and support the American system of free enterprise, self-reliance, etc., then they would not be problem.
We’re not the victims of Mexico, building a wall does nothing to address the real problem, which would continue and grow.
Asian immigrants are not, for the most part, takers. In fact income statistics show them to be outstanding producers.
Asians vote 55% Democrat. There is something beyond the taxpayer-tax consumer divide at work here. I theorize that American culture is uniquely predisposed to liberty, perhaps due to its unique founding as a colony of nonconformists. Any dilution of the existing population will tend to move the average political orientation towards the global norm of socialist tyranny.
So far no Rovian scheme to convert immigrants into limited government Republicans has succeeded, so I'll stick with ending most immigration.
