Mass Legal Immigration Will Finish Conservatism [1 Million Green Cards Per Year!!!]

Mass Legal Immigration Will Finish Conservatism

by MARK KRIKORIAN August 31, 2015 Conservative luminaries have been warning that Donald Trump poses a threat to the Republican party and to the political future of conservativism. Charles Krauthammer has called him “political poison.” Fred Barnes says Trump has “made the GOP’s future dicey.” George Will thunders characteristically that “every sulfurous belch from the molten interior of the volcanic Trump phenomenon injures the chances of a Republican presidency.” All this may be true. Trump is indeed a braggart who goes out of his way to antagonize people — not a winning approach in electoral politics. And he’s shown little real commitment to conservative principles — or principles of any other kind, for that matter.

But Trump is not the long-term problem faced by the Right. Ramesh Ponnuru’s assurance regarding Trump that “this too shall pass” may be underestimating Trump’s staying power, but at some point he will pass.

But if mass legal immigration is permitted to continue, the Right is finished regardless of what Trump does or says.

What True Immigration ‘Reform’ Would Look Like If the federal immigration program continues to operate at its current pace — about 1 million green cards issued per year — it will create nearly 15 million potential new voters over the next two decades, disproportionately liberal, as I will explain below. If Senator Rubio and the rest of the Republican establishment had gotten its way and the House had passed Chuck Schumer’s bill, the number of these potential new voters minted by mass immigration by 2036 would have been more than double that, over 32 million.

That’s what is really needed a quota on immigration, something like 20,000 to 100,000 a year. With no more than 5% from any one country. No middle eastern countries, and anybody even supsected of being a criminal or terrorist gets the boot immediately.

Immigration should be a privelege not a right.

It will also finish off the Democrats, about 20 years later.

When the Hispanics become 51% of the voters, they will no longer need the Democrats, and will dump them.

In 2050, there will be two parties, the Latino Party and the Democrats (in the minority).
And we will look like every other Third World Hispanic hellhole.

California is just about there.

The only pleasure will be watching the grandkids of Pelosi, Obama, Bush, McCain, Reid, Clinton, etc. all living under some El Jefe like a Chavez or Castro.

I’m from canada and during the last 5 years alone, the canadian quota shrunk making any immigrant really go through hoops just to qualify in the points system. The points system in canada was designed (and changed drastically) to filter the potential lazy leeches (aka mexicans and homeys). that’s what is needed here.

Most of them are fleeing socialist or Islamic rat holes. But then they vote and advocate for making this place into yet another socialist or Islamic rat hole. And they are succeeding. Sigh.

No need for millions of illegals. So called ‘conservatives’ are finishing off conservatism just fine on their own.

For all their screaming fits, meme pix and the rest, I have yet to see one of them explain how exactly ‘lesser evil’ and ‘no matter what’ square with a philosophy that is the polar opposite of those words of idiocy.

Even Barbie understands that you do not get conservatives elected, nor achieve conservative governance by refusing to support or vote for the most conservative people, and instead, place ‘winning’ with liberals as your No.1 priority.

The stupid...It burns.

Barnes, Krauthammer, Will; they don’t need payoffs. They won’t be here much longer. It’s their grandkids that will have to live in the country that they are helping to create. What gives?

From what I see going on in my sons high school, the mohammedan party will be way up there as well.

That's the way the law worked, more or less, until LBJ ditched it so we could have tsunami immigration from Me-hee-co. Landslide Lint'n knew the Mexicans voted Communista back home (only they called it PRI), and he knew they would be a bottomless pit of neediness (but senor, we are so poor .... and you haff so much ....). Marriage made in hell, Lyndon's evil + Mexican socialism.

Yeah, the civil war appears to be on, now. Start reading The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, y'all. Or von Clausewitz, if you prefer him.

Or Herman Kahn, if you think you'll be a compleat Mongol by then.

Actually in California the Latino Party is the Democrat party. They just took it over and keep moving it left.

The last Democrat presidential candidate who got a majority of the white vote was.....

Lyndon Johnson - 51 years ago!

Between 1960-2012, there have been more than thirty national polls on Hispanic voting in presidential elections.

Only one them shows the Republican candidate getting more than 40%!
