How can we ever get rid of the welfare system when so many more are being added to it? Of course if you never went to school and have no job skills, you will vote to keep the "safety net". NAFTA sent the jobs the people from Mexico can do to Mexico ---- there aren't enough low-skilled jobs being developed for the numbers moving in.
"safty net" = Democratic Party.
This trend explains what has happened in Califronia. Only one time between 1952 and 1988 did California vote Democratic in the presidential election. It was solidly Republican. Then came the big flood of immigrants both legal and illegal into the state in the 1990's into the 2000's. Now its solidly left/democratic.
