Wrong.
Virginia is far from a border.
In 15 short years it has gone from solid red to permanent blue.
Mostly because of immigration, legal and illegal. They vote in large numbers because Democrats have taken control of the populous counties in northern Virginia. Illegal aliens are registered and vote. Green card immigrants are registered and vote. Felons now vote. Out of state college students are registered and vote.
Virginia is far along in the process of imitating California. There will never be a Republican elected in a statewide race again.
Establishment Republicans have allowed this to happen. They have opposed conservative Republican candidates and sided with the Democrats. They are so stupid (and rich) that they don’t realize that in the next state election next year they will lose their last vestiges of power, the state senate and House, and then there will be no limits on the Democrats. There will be mail in ballots, same day registration and voting, internet voting, ballot harvesting, and no voter I’d.
And Paul Ryan, the cause of all this,will be pulling in millions on K street
In 30 years, there will again be two parties, the Democrats and the new Partidad de la Raza, when Hispanics reach 51% and realize they don’t need the Democrats. Republicans will be a footnote in history, like the Whigs.
You can’t discuss immigration’s impact without discussing the practically non-existent white birthrate; years ago we reached a point where more whites were dying daily than being born, and people just carried on.
The legal system in the US (and I suspect much of the West) has made starting a family too risky for most men - and too expensive for most whites with burdensome taxes paying for others’ children.
