Hear that McRINO? Doubt it...Politico: The immigration proposal pending in Congress would transform the nation’s political landscape for a generation or more — pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that, if current trends hold, would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily.
Beneath the philosophical debates about amnesty and border security, there are brass-tacks partisan calculations driving the thinking of lawmakers in both parties over comprehensive immigration reform, which in its current form offers a pathway to citizenship — and full voting rights — for a group of undocumented residents that roughly equals the population of Ohio, the nation’s seventh-largest state.
To support the measure virtually guarantees millions of new Democratic voters.
One supposed GOP strategist goes on to say that if Republicans do nothing to repair their relationships with current and future Latino voters, "we certainly won’t be a national political party anymore." Might I remind these panderers that if the Republican party does nothing to repair its relationship with its conservative base, it won't be a national political party anymore! That's not speculation, like the strategist's statement, that's guaranteed!
RUSH: "This story in The Politico, I can’t believe that they published this story. ‘Immigration reform could be bonanza for Democrats.’ I mean everybody knows it, not everybody wants to admit it, particularly on the Republican advocate side."
