Do you really, really, think these newcomers are going to grow up and vote “conservative”?
Yes. The welfare state is doomed. Once entitlements are reduced and folks are back to fending for themselves as our ancestors had to do. For example: The black family had lessor out of wedlock births than whites before the welfare state destroyed them. And Hispanics are a religious and socially conservative people. Progressive liberalism destroys everything it touches. Destroy IT and this country will OWN the 21st century.
I read the link. Thanks. But I don’t think it changes my assumption - IF we destroy the entitlement state ALL immigrants become Americans in order to survive and prosper. Just like the English, Germans, Irish, Italians, Jews, Finns, Swedes did before them. Nobody came here AS AMERICANS....the rough and tumble capitalist system made us Americans. I honestly believe that if we return to that our country will be fine. Changed? Of course. But still the land of the free. And the toughest guy on the block.
