A new
study from the Center for Immigration Studies confirms preivous studies.
Republicans cannot win the Latino
vote by voting for amnesty or other liberal immigration policies. Latinos
favor Democrats because of their liberal spending on liberal social-welfare
prgrams. A Pew poll indicated that 69 percen of Hispanics favored Obamacare, and
71 percent voted for Obama. We can never out-liberal the Democrats.
Amnesty
and other liberal immigration programs only bring in more Democrat voters,
making the electorate steadily more Democrat and more liberal.
In
addition, Republicans who take liberal positions on amnesty
and other immigration policies--in fact, on any issue--encourage
conservatives to stay at home-- often in angry disgust.
So why are Republicans
stampeding to vote for an amnesty worse than the disasterous 1986 amnesty? It is
Republican suicide--stupid Republican
suicide.
As
a Republican County Chairman, trying to recruit people to help elect
Republicans, I run into registered conservative voters a couple times a week who
are becming increasingly discouraged with what they see as wobbly and
leftward drfting Republican principles in Washington and Raleigh. I had
lunch wth two of them today, who were feeling abandned and betrayed.
There are conservative
Hispanics, especially among Cubans and the growing number of other
Hispanics who are evangelical Christians. We can get that vote by being
true to our own principles. But they are a minority, and we cannot get the
majority by moving to the left on amnesty or anything else. In addition, no one
outside of a madhouse believes that Hispanic illegal immigrants are more
conservative than those already voting. The more amnesties, the more Democrats,
and the higher the Democrat margins will be bcause of the higher number of
former illegals in the mix.
Immigration Policy,
because it shapes the electorate. will eventually determine almost every policy.
