Part of the conservative appeal for the 2012 Republican vice-presidential nominee Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) was that he could "do math." He was a "numbers guy." Similarly, former Governor Jeb Bush is from Florida, and should understand very well its electoral demographics -- particularly since his brother George won the 2000 election by a bare margin due solely to what happened in the Sunshine State. These points make it all the more bizarre that both Ryan and Bush would support immigration reform. This type of legislation would sentence the GOP to near permanent electoral oblivion unless the party adopted very liberal positions to match up with the resulting illegal alien infused left-wing demographic shift.
Slate.com has published the following state-by-state map of the estimated American illegal immigrant population, based on data produced by the Pew Hispanic Center. While they are spread out across the nation, illegal immigrants are especially concentrated in Nevada, California, Texas, New Jersey, and Florida, where they accounted for an astonishingly high 7.2%, 6.8%, 6.7%, 6.2%, and 4.5% of these states' total populations in 2010.
California and New Jersey are already Democratic strongholds. Texas is safely Republican (for now). Nevada and Florida remain battlegrounds, as do a number of other key states.
The margins of victory in Florida since 2000 have been 537 votes/0.01% (2000; Bush), 380,978/5.01% (2004; Bush), 236,148/2.81% (2008; Obama), and 74,309/0.88% (2012; Obama). Florida has an estimated 825,000 illegal immigrants. Assuming that these illegal immigrants have a similar age demographic to the general American population (i.e., 76.5% aged 18 and over), that about 60% of these individuals will vote (consistent with the general population), and that 80% will vote Democratic (the same percentage as in the 2008 and 2012 elections for minority voters), legalizing these illegal aliens will add a 227,000-vote Democratic margin...

Electoral suicide, cultural suicide...what exactly are we doing about it? Anything?
The guy who can do math is David Axelrod, who has all the data of voting patterns in the United States down to precinct level. He is, IMO, the architect behind the plan to create a perpetual one-party government in a Soviet-style state. This is but one of several strategies he is using.
And the capitalists are selling him the rope.
But arent they all so-cons like Rand and Rubio said?
One thing the article didn’t touch upon - surprisingly - is that if the illegal immigrant population of the state of Texas is legalized, Texas is basically a permanent loss for the GOP. Take Texas and Florida out of the equation, permanently, and the GOP becomes little more than a regional party. They’re no longer competitive on a national level.
Ryan and Amnesty
FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list
Get car door locks that are silent.
It’s not suicide if you look at it from the GOP elites view. They hate their base and couldn’t care less about Tea Party/Social Conservatives...etc. s that they couldn’t care less with we leave the party. Yeah they may be a minority party because of this but in Washington DC there is no such thing as a true minority - they will still hold power in some form and they will still have the crony big donors so that in most elections they can spend tons of money to tear down the Tea Party/ Freedom Party candidates and win most of them. As long as the gravy train continues in their eyes then they are safe and they believe that they will finally be liked by the media in these interviews and cocktail parties
Johnson of Wisconsin is also one who is not afraid of Math whe it comes to spending. But, he is just not seeing the light on amnesty. Perhaps it is because Wisonsin is not so greatly impacted.

That's why the call to "take back" or "reform" the GOP seems to futile to me. The GOP is not a conservative party and never has been.
Florida is still a solid right-of-center state and local politics state. Democrats only turn out for national elections, because they feel that all politics are national. Meanwhile, states rights are making a comeback.
Established corporations will do well under Dem control. It is a gov corporate partnership that will increase regs and taxes that hurt the middle size and small size companies. This way large corporations will kill off future competition. In socialist Europe, there are established large corporations that exist and flourish. They found a way to make profits and accommodate socialism. The only way this system can fail is Soviet style where the gov takes all of the profits. Amnesty will hurt two Dem groups immediately. Blacks who will face Hispanic immigrants coming into their neighborhoods, compete for low end jobs and entitlements. The other group will be American Jews who will face a growing and hostile population of Arab/Muslim immigrants. Whites can nullify Hispanic power, because Hispanics will intermarry with other groups. Blacks and Jews try to keep separate, and in the world of new immigrants they will regret supporting Amnesty.
So why is it that the state with the highest percentage job growth in the nation and some of the toughest jobs (ever try wrestling with heavy machinery when it is 40 below and the wind is blowing in from the northwest?) has almost zero illegal aliens?
I'm speaking of North Dakota, which has some of the toughest jobs and living conditions in the country. Yet Americans are going there in droves to take the jobs because the pay is decent.
And look at South Carolina. Surrounded by states with noteworthy illegal alien populations, it has almost none. Enforcement? I’ll have to ask my son who lives there.
Murder/suicide.

...indeed...interior Deep South and interior West...SC, GA, AL,MS, AR, MO,TN,KY,ID,WY,UT, N.DK. S.DK,NE,KN,OK...I’m too lazy to the do the electoral college math on this but it’s somewhere in the mid 150’s, I believe...at which point, we concentrate solely on state and local politics...
Blacks and Jews try to keep separate, and in the world of new immigrants they will regret supporting Amnesty.
...and you can bet your house that both these elements will continue voting for the party of unrestrained immigration...
Sadly, what you said seems spot on.
“that if the illegal immigrant population of the state of Texas is legalized, Texas is basically a permanent loss for the GOP.”
And that is exactly why the Commurats have put on an all out effort to get out their voters in Texas along with legalizing the illegals.
