Districts With Large Foreign-Born Populations Sent Far-Left Democrats To Congress
Breitbart ^ | 11-9-2018 | John Binder

Posted on 11/09/2018 6:02:13 AM PST by blam

Congressional Districts with booming foreign-born populations sent some of the most far-left, socialist Democrats to Congress in the midterm elections this week. On Tuesday night, congressional districts that have been dramatically changed by mass immigration elected Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York, Ilhan Omar in Minnesota, and Ayanna Pressley in Massachusettes.

The congressional districts sending some of the most liberal, far-left Democrats to Congress have large foreign-born populations that do not seem to be leveling off anytime soon as the U.S. continues admitting more than 1.5 million foreign nationals every year.

Ocasio-Cortez’s district, New York’s 14th, has a foreign-born population that is now nearing almost 50 percent. About 45.8 percent of the district is foreign-born.

The self-described socialist is expected to champion far-left policies such as nationwide and hemispheric open borders, Medicare for all, and the abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

“I happen to believe that an agency that has repeatedly, systematically, and violently committed human rights abuses cannot be reformed,” Ocasio-Cortez has said of ICE agents.

Ocasio-Cortez won with almost 80 percent of the vote in the midterms.

In Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, Ilhan Omar — a Somali immigrant — won with 78 percent of the vote in midterm elections despite her far-left radical record.

Omar’s district has become increasingly foreign-born with now almost 15 percent of the region being born outside of the U.S. As MPR News notes, more than 35 percent of the district is nonwhite and there are 22,000 more foreign-born residents living in the district since Rep. Keith Ellison — the first Muslim elected to Congress — was first elected in 2008.

Benjamin Franklin gave the Republic about 200 Years.

At least we exceeded his expectations.

Pro-American Reformers: Stealth Amnesty Bills Coming In Lame-Duck Session

Businesses and progressives, Democrats and Republicans, will try to sneak a bipartisan amnesty bill through Congress’ lame-duck session in December as voters are distracted by Christmas, say pro-American immigration reformers.

“This is why they come back for a lame duck — so they can accomplish all the things they could not do when the voters’ eyes on them,” said Rosemary Jenks, the director of government relations for NumbersUSA.

What they will do is perpetuate and expand a system that will eventually collapse under it’s own contradictions and bankruptcy. We conservatives will see some very unpleasant and ugly things, but likely not as bad as the ones who are and will continue to be very dependent on that system when it does collapse.

no surprise. it’s obvious the way they are pouring in by all methods legal or illegal. It was more obvious when obama started appointing them in higher level positions, it’s a take over in the works and too many long time USA families are asleep at the wheel or bought into the lets be fair to the new people spew of dems and media.

On election night, I noticed that CNN was always interested in the votes coming in from particular “fast growing” areas in certain states like Texas.

I thought, “fast growing”? They probably just mean the place is a hotbed of illegal immigration and can be counted on to vote far Left. The media knew how the game was to be played.

Obama op. He picked sparsely populated areas and flooded them with Somalis.

Yeah our country is lost to us. It belongs to others now. I’m just thankful to have been born in the 70s so I have some knowledge and fond memory of what this nation was like before the turning.

The Dim voter recruitment iniative (open borders and no immigration law enforcement) is paying dividends at the ballot box.

I was born in 1949. Think how glad I am to have lived when America was America.

Before the great society, immigrants came here for the freedom and the opportunity to make better lives for themselves. Entrepreneurs. After that? Spongers, eaters and parasites hoping to syphon off the wealth generated by the sweat and hard work of the taxpayer.

The demoncraps have an easy job selling votes for largess. Some states have already run out of other people's money. Mine especially. It didn't stop the people of this state from voting in more bloodstone squeezers.

Somalia is a desert country near the equator (the equator runs through the southern part of the country). Why should the Somali refugees be settled in Minnesota, land of lakes and forests and very cold winters? Your explanation makes sense. Obama was thinking ahead.

Say, maybe having a bunch of foreigners in your country isn’t such a great idea after all?
