Latino Giant to Change U.S. Politics
Rasmussen Reports ^ | Tuesday, May 04, 2010 | Froma Harrop

Posted on 05/04/2010 7:07:10 AM PDT by ScottinVA

SAN ANTONIO -- It was over frozen lattes three blocks from the Alamo that Lydia Camarillo and I discussed the wave of Latino voters expected to change politics in Texas -- and America. Camarillo is vice president of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project, a group that signs up new Hispanic voters and spurs them to the polls.

Some Texans predict that the "Latino giant" won't fully flex its political might until 2012. Some say 2014. Others see the tough immigration law in Arizona moving the impact to this year. All agree that when Latinos arrive at the polls in huge numbers, the results won't please Republicans.

"I think they know that the day is coming," Camarillo said. "That's why they are coming up with obstructions, such as voter ID laws."

And there's not much Republicans can do about a surging Latino electorate in the short term. Even if they appeal to more Latino voters and Hispanic turnout stays weak, the raw numbers may overwhelm them.

Scary stuff. This is the result of a broken immigration policy that, over the years, has been allowed to get out of hand. Demographics is destiny.

Which is why liberals are so desperate to enact "comprehensive immigration reform" ....AKA, amnesty for God-only-knows how many millions of illegal aliens.

Can anyone honestly look at this situation and see how the Republic is going to survive beyond 20 more years?

Mexico is such a sucessful society. The USA is becoming as corrupt. Keep paying your cable and sa TV bill to keep the Democrats in control. If you think Fox/Saudia is the sanswer then you are delusional.

It doesn’t take much scratching to find the racism of liberals and their cohort “conservative” pillow biters. Next they will be advertising a torchlight parade for “Latinos.”

Nope, this is the result of deliberate, strategic planning by Democrat political activists in a concerted effort to gain hegemony that began when Teddy Kennedy first monkeywrenched our immigration system back in the 60’s.

It is also the result of deliberate race-based Alinsky activism on the part of these groups. There is nothing about being ethnically Hispanic that makes you bound and destined to be a Liberal. It is being ginned-up by people who claim to represent them constantly telling them that they are victims.

The thing is that liberal Latino groups are willing to tolerate (and even embrace) things like abortion and gay rights to get the free handouts and amnesty.

If latino folks in the Rio Grande Valley won’t complete a census form, what makes you think these same folks will bother to vote?

""I think they know that the day is coming," Camarillo said. "That's why they are coming up with obstructions, such as voter ID laws."

Well Golly, Gee!

If these people are citizen/voters, why would having an ID be such a big problem?

Hmmmmm?

Because their leaders will tell them to vote.

In a strong economy, people put up with a lot of stuff. When it is weak, less so. We rally could slip into some sort of race war in this country.

The muscle flexes both ways. I recently fired my lawn and pool service companies and let them know it was because of the illegals they employ. I also informed the local car wash owner that he wont be seeing me anymore. A neighbor’s teenage son was quite happy to get the job.

Americans DEMAND provisions to secure our elections. Elected officials and candidaters who rig elections should be subject to prosecution if they knowingly organized illegals with several identities to fraudulently obtain public office.

========================================

FOR EXAMPLE How did Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona) get elected?

DID CANDIDATES KNOWINGLY ORGANIZE NON-CITIZENS TO FRAUDULENTLY VOTE FOR THEM?

DID CANDIDATES COLLUDE WITH NON-CITIZENS WITH FAKE IDENTITIES TO RIG ELECTIONS ?

IS OBAMA EXCHANGING GOVERNMENT FAVORS FOR FRAUDULENT VOTES?

====================================

FBI TIP PAGE http://tips.fbi.gov/ (you remain anonymous)

The names of these and other elected officials who use their office to rig elections should be given to the FBI, together with the following information:

2 Texans accused of planning to sell counterfeit IDs

NORTH BERGEN -- (AP) 07/21/06---The Pelcastre brothers were a walking threat to national security -- expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, authorities said Thursday. When police stumbled across the pair, the men had turned a Tonnelle Avenue hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local identity broker, authorities said.

The brothers, Angel, 31, and Jorge, 34, both of Dallas, were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of government documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the country , including passports and resident alien cards, said state police Capt. Al Della Fave. "Can you imagine if a terrorist were able to get their hands on this stuff?" Della Fave said. "They'd have free passage throughout the country."

A task force including state troopers and officers from both the Bergen and Hudson county prosecutors' offices happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in the parking lot of the hotel Wednesday morning. Authorities wouldn't identify the hotel by name for fear it could hinder cooperation from other hotels in future investigations or spark retribution.

The Corporate Outreach Task Force, formerly the Hotel Motel Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks on motor vehicles in area motels. Members of the task force began watching the cars, a Chevrolet Impala and a Pontiac Firebird, and followed the brothers to an office supply store in a nearby shopping center, where the men purchased computer supplies, said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones.

Officers then followed the brothers to a self-storage facility in Secaucus, where they loaded several boxes from a storage unit into one of the cars, Jones said. One of the men stood lookout, which heightened police suspicion, he said. Authorities approached the men when they returned to the hotel and questioned them separately, Jones said. The brothers consented to a search of their cars, hotel room and the storage facility, he said.

Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs, Jones said.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street, Della Fave said. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards, Della Fave said.

"They were aggressively selling to brokers," he said. "This isn't like selling driver's licenses to individuals. These were multiple layers of high-level documents."

The brothers were being held without bail Thursday at the Hudson County Jail on charges of possessing fraudulent documents and conspiracy to sell fraudulent documents. Federal charges are also pending against them, said state police Detective Sgt. Cesar Huaman, a member of the task force.

What’s going to happen is that 3rd generation Hispanics, Cuban Americans, and Venezuelans will vote Republican consistently, and the newcomers will vote Democrat.

There is a major disconnect between the newcomer Mexicans who are here illegally and the Hispanics who have been here for generations.
