"We cannot allow amnesty for criminals. They must never be allowed to become U.S citizens. That'll be 12 million more votes for the democrats."
We will have amnesty for all those illegal aliens. When we controlled the government we had a chance, one last shot, to stop the flow. But President Bush and a sizeable portion of the Republican contingent still seated in the US Senate adamantly refused to do what Border Conservatives want.
Now the Democrats are in charge, Bush is still in the White House, and many of the Republican Senators who wanted amnesty are still seated.
I mention the Senators, because the only place to STOP amnesty is a filibuster (the President won't veto an amnesty bill; he wants one), and there are not 41 Republican Senators willing to filibster amnesty. Moreover, as you pointed out, Hispanic immigrants are the Democrats' "majority maker" for the next hundred years. They replenish the ranks and REPLACE all of those millions of babies of the Left lost to abortion. If there is ONE issue on which the Democratic Senate will use the nuclear option, it is in ensuring that amnesty-by-another-name gets through the Senate. Bush will sign it.
So yes, there will be 12 million more votes. And more to come therefrom.
The only thing we can still control is whether or not that 12 million become DEMOCRATS. Right now, they certainly will. There is no doubt about it. The Republican party stands (at least some in the party stand) against them being here in the first place, and have worked to try and unravel much of the social safety net on which poor people, like blacks and Hispanics, depend. So, OF COURSE they're going to vote Democratic, en masse, unless Republicans do something to capture a significant part of this voter base.
It is not hopeless, but it requires a gut check.
Republicans cannot have ANY of their agenda if they don't hold power, and with Democrars slated to give amnesty, the anti-immigration fight is lost now. We had our shot, we didn't take it, we're never going to have those numbers again, because Hispanic immigrants are going to tilt the tide more and more in favor of Democrats.
So, we have to make peace with reality. Stopping Hispanic immigration, MASSIVE Hispanic immigration, isn't going to happen. Stopping amnesty isn't going to happen. We don't have the power. The President wants it.
In the face of that politcal reality, we need to figure out how to get a big chunk of Hispanic voters.
Pro-family, pro-life organization is the way.
Stop trying to block them - we can't.
Welcome them. Promise to secure the social safety net. And campaign with the church to organize Hispanics on pro-life lines. That will get many many of them on our side and turn the loss on the issue into a gain for the future,. It;'s the only way.
