Polling
data suggest that immigration reform has strong support from voters of both
parties. In fact, a recent CNN/ORC International survey found that 62 percent
of all respondents said border security needs to be a first priority. (This is
the primary reason that Donald Trump is so wildly popular at the moment).
Yet,
despite this strong, bipartisan public support for a wall on the border and
other measures, Democrats won’t hear of it. Funny, I thought Democrats were for
the people (“the masses”) and a pure unadulterated democracy, eschewing even
the electoral-college as interfering with the direct will of the majority.
Remember the election of 2000?
This Democratic stance on illegal immigration
should logically take the blinders off of some folks, but I’m not holding out
much hope. If people haven’t already realized the only thing modern-day
Democrats, and establishment Republicans
as well, truly care about is their own power, they likely never will.
The
Democrats as a party- and virtually every individual politician within that
party- will never vote to stop an
influx of people who will be inclined to disproportionately vote for them.
Never. They won’t have to worry about anyone who disagrees with them soon,
because there won’t be enough of those folks to do anything about it. They will
have achieved political power immortality, even as those they ignore face
taxation without representation.
“Screw
those voters, screw the country. Es todo acerca de mi!”
