Inadvertant admission?
Is this an inadvertant admission that the Democratic party is using illegal immigration to pack the polls on election day?
The title of this article from New America Media is, “Are Higher Fees for Immigrants a Plan to Stall the Number of Democratic Voters?”
The Center for Immigration Studies found that Latinos identified more with Democrats across all nationality groups, except Cubans, and across nearly all states.
“The gap is even wider among immigrant Latinos who have not yet become citizens. As many of these non-citizens naturalize, the political affiliation of Latinos is likely to shift still further toward the Democratic Party,” noted a center study.  ~alternet.org
This is interesting for the same reason that Muslim demographics in Europe are interesting; all of these issues interesect. Immigrants are apparently more inclined toview socialist programs as a good thing. What happens when there are more foreign born voters in America than natural born?
What happens to representation and the American culture if we have too many immigrants too quickly and they gain control of our political structures?
The number of foreign-born voters grew by 20 percent between the 1996 and 2000 elections, compared with 1.5 percent for all persons, according to the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. Once naturalized, voter turnout among the foreign-born is high; 58 percent registered to vote and 87 percent showed up at the polls in 2000.
Most worrisome for the GOP, the party identification of the largest foreign-born group, Latinos, is 58 percent Democratic, 23 percent Republican, even though Latinos tend to be conservative on social issues such as abortion and gay marriage, says a 2005 national survey by the Latino Coalition in Washington, D.C.
Detecting Democratic leanings among new citizens, Republicans in the ’90s blasted the Clinton administration for promoting naturalization among immigrants through the Citizenship USA program. ~alternet.org
I’ve always been on the lenient side of immigration. In my experience most people who come to America are looking for a better life. Many countries around the world are, quite frankly, immersed in the kinds of policies that Democrats promote and thus stay mired in poverty. Prompting many to immigrate to the U.S.. But if they then make America more like the countries they left, Where will we flee to for a better life?
