The Immigration Issue -the hard questions......
Advertisements [?]
Illegals can't vote, and latin-Americans DON'T vote= Democrats LOSE
(Latin-Americans have one of the historically lowest voter turnout rates of any demographic)

It's time for Democrats to face some hard reality. The immigration issue is the only one which can defeat the Democratic Party other than a complete surrender of all muslim extremists.

The immigration stance of the democrats is against 3-Three-3 count 'em three demographics.
1. Americans who see the issue as a strictly Constitutional legal question i.e. it is illegal and therefor the law must be enforced.
2. Americans who see it as a move by large Corporations to hold down wages.
3. American bigots who see it in those terms.

The first two categories make up the vast majority of the majority of American voters who DO NOT agree with any sort of amnesty or other granting of privilege to illegal aliens. This is the group who will determine the outcome of the presidential election. Anyone who disbelieves this is completely ignorant of anything to do with politics in the USA and is merely residing in a fantasy universe of their own wishes.

The third group is relatively unchanging and lacking a third party whacko to vote for can safely counted as republicans.

Congressional candidates are fully aware and are campaigning on exaclty what I have presented. This will result in a Republican president and a very conservative Democratic Congress. Is your idealism worth allowing such a result? Are you another flavor of Naderite, willing to sacrifice all out of spite? These are serious questions that only you can answer.

Knee-jerk reactions to this post will only go toward validating what I have written. I sincerely hope that someone can come up with a logical and factual based argument disproving these contentions, because if they can then there is real hope...but if they cannot, then the progressive stance on illegals will doom the election...and some would argue, the nation. Another republican executive would destroy the last vestiges of what some of us older Americans recall as America.
