The story describes a left-right pro-immigration coalition. I think the author is right that this coalition has been effective. Here's my question: why isn't a coalition of cultural conservatives and blue-collar Democrats just as powerful, if not more, on this issue?

Because we let them take our votes for granted.

Loyalty means their piss in our coffee.

AFL-CIO captured by the guilt-lefty complex. Actually support increased immigration which will lower union members wages.

Grover Norquist alert! "Intensity trumps preference."

Remember this one:

Grover Norquist's Strange Alliance With Radical Islam

Read this article to see where this man's allegiances are bought.

"Few Americans make voting decisions based on immigration policies, he said." Perhaps its time for that to change!

"Politicians pay more attention to elections than they do to polls."
Perhaps politicians will pay a little attention to the recent non-election of Sen. Spencer Abraham. Part of the problem is that a lot of Americans are unaware of the scope and ramifications of the mass immigration America is currently experiencing. And if Americans don't live in an area that is receiving high immigration they don't see the problem with their own eyes. Americans who live in areas that are being overrun with foreigners simply decide to move out of the area or state when immigration changes their lifestyle more than they can stomach. (So. Cal. for example) People who recognize the situation we are confronting viv a vis mass immigration must get involved and come together in organizations. Americans need to be informed, they need organizations that will carry the fight for them, they must contribute time and or money.
The immigration reduction movement wields more influence than Nordquist would have people believe.

"An America with 300 million more people would be unrecognizable by just about every measure of quality of life," said Beck,

He's wrong about this. Thanks to the sheer numbers and the fact that the new immigrants are overwhealmingly Catholics who don't use birth control,the entire USA will look like Mexico City.

Because we only have one political party,and the elites in both brances who run this party see personal profits and power coming from the invasion of immigrants. They don't give a damn what the sheeple who vote for them think.

Big bucks are not found among "cultural conservatives" or blue collar Democrats.

Its particularly galling that liberals point to popular opinions polls when they substantiate their positions on constitutional issues involving inalienable human rights, i.e. the Second Amendment, but on issues like immigration and affirmative action, they take the opposite tact AND SUCCEED!!
