With the newest border crisis focusing on the influx of immigrants from Central America, many of them children, the political punching bag that is immigration reform is again leading the news.  Democrats, incongruously, claim that the obvious ineffectiveness of our border is proof that we need to reform immigration laws to allow current foreigners who are here illegally to stay.  How this stops the flow rather than increase it is not explained.

Many Republicans have taken up the cause of amnesty by raising the curious proposition that many of those currently here illegally may eventually join the ranks of the Republican Party.  The pipe dream is based upon several assumptions, including the expectation that it will take time for the newly legalized immigrants to become citizens, during which time they will come to appreciate the freedoms offered by the capitalistic system and adopt the traditional American values of self-reliance, free markets, and family tradition.

This childish myth will soon be crushed by the realities being built, step by step, by progressive activists all over the country.  Their tactics are reminiscent of the old joke of how you eat an elephant: one piece at a time.

The New York state legislature is currently reviewing a bill to give the right to vote to nearly three million non-citizens.  The New York City Council is simultaneously reviewing similar legislation to allow non-citizens the right to vote in local elections.  There is a good chance that the legislation will pass.  This is, no surprisingly, supported by progressive New York Mayor Bill de Blasio.  Non-citizens can already vote in municipal elections in several cities in New York, Maryland, and Illinois.  San Francisco has been pushing this idea for years,

I don’t care if they all vote Republican. Throw them out.

If they would vote Republican, the Democrats would be hunting then with dogs. You can take that to the bank.

Nations have fallen into civil war over things 10000000 times less serious than this!

How in the hell are people in that state just going along with this? Do they think that it just affects some other city?

I don’t see any, except maybe you can work for the government and get a fat pension... but even with this, I am unsure.
