I think this is a very reasoned opinion about what will happen if there is no immigration legislation passed this year.Me too. The immigration issue is what doomed the GOP in California, a formerly GOP state. But does it have to be this bill? Is it this bill or nothing? Why is the fate of our party--and country--being held hostage against the fate of this one misguided bill?
Don't you think it was immigration itself that doomed the GOP in California. The voter base changed. Demographics. This bill will make all states California demographically, and California will go off the reservation politically with naturalized illegal voters.
Immigration is what destroyed the conservative base in California, not opposition to immigration. Read some Thomas Sowell; different cultures bring different values. The immigrants we are getting are, by and large, are not assimilating.
I can only assume that you think that the GOP's aversion to illegal immigration destroyed the statewide party? Nice theory. However...
Once upon a time, in the DNC's California, lived a proposition. This proposition was loved by the fair peoples of California, as it denied expensive services to those who entered the country illegally and kept Californian's hard earned monies in their pockets.
They loved the proposition so much, they overwhelmingly voted in favor of enacting it. Oh, the glorious day; the will of the people was heard, for the proposition had passed!
However, along came the judicial Black Knight. The Black Knight merely walked up to the beloved proposition and smote it with an injunction. The California collective reeled back on their heels in horror, for they knew their beloved proposition had been dealt a fatal blow!
The beloved proposition now lies dead and buried, mourned by no one in fear that they be labeled "racists".
The End.
