Thread: With illegals flipping elections, Democrats opposition to a wall is all about power

With illegals flipping elections now, Democrats' opposition to a wall is all about their grip on power

Far from being the illegal immigrants' best benefactor, the last midterm shows that Democrats are actually in their debt.

For Democrats, their opposition to a wall at the U.S. southern border where thousands of illegals are pouring in isn't about "women and children." It's not about compassion; it's not about a wall's 'effectiveness,' (we know a wall is effective); it's not about the environment; it's not about locking up the legal Latino-American vote; it's not even (all that much) about doling goodies to indigents to expand the underclass, and with it, the size of government.
It's about winning elections.
Illegals in bellwether California have shown that they are the margin of victory in even the reddest counties, such as Orange County, where illegal immigrants served as ballot-harvestors to collect up all the ballots of indifferent voters who weren't otherwise planning to vote. Harvesting ballots by foreigners is actually legal in California, even as it's illegal almost everywhere else, and illegals demonstrated the power it has.
You notice the curious silence of the Democrats regarding an illegal ballot-harvesting case out in North Carolina done by a Republican? They aren't saying much at all, likely because they don't want to be speaking ill of ballot-harvesting, given that good thing they've got going in California. The foreign ballot-harvesters in California "helped" indifferent and absentee California voters to "fill out their ballots" and then harvested and harvested, turning these harvested ballots in until they got the electoral result they wanted, often weeks after the actual election concluded.
You can bet that other Democrats, who are losing the black vote in droves over President Trump's stellar economy and all the jobs created, are noticing that one. The critical role of illegals here can't be escaping them. For Democrats, illegals are the arriving reinforcements, the ship coming in, the margin of victory, as they seek to rig the electoral landscape to secure power permanently. Last thing in the world they would want to see is Trump stopping their entry via a border wall or through any scintilla of immigration enforcement, even in cases of violent crime against Americans and legal immigrants. Illegals are now the Democrats' meal ticket.
Investor's Business Daily has a terrific piece (and thanks for the hat tip!) that effectively ties lockstep Democratic opposition to the wall, and support for illegals to the mounting evidence that illegals are now how they win elections. The editorial effectively ties efforts to rig the vote through ballot-harvesting, automatic motor-voter registrations, and an uncleared inactive voter database, (promised a clean-up conveniently after the midterms) to the actual participation of illegal immigrants in U.S. elections. Illegals right now are legally ballot-harvesting votes, and the people they are harvesting from - Latinos, with that 94% Latino turnout rate, could easily include many non-citizens voting illegally. California's motor-voter laws already have 'mistakenly' registered more than 100,000 ineligible voters, and the system itself is an "honor system" meaning that actually ineligible foreigners most certainly can register to vote if they want to, saying they are citizens on their forms because no one is going to check.
IBD asks:

Is it any wonder that Democrats are now refusing to support even the rudimentary step of securing the southern border? As California has shown, an army of noncitizens can help sway elections. And keeping the border open will only bring in more.

That sums up well the Democrat intransigence on that most basic of security measures, a much-needed border wall. Democrats aren't just potential benefactors to illegals, as they claim, they are actually in their political debt. In the past, Democrats put out the "narrative" that illegals should never be deported because of the critical role they play in harvesting our food. What a long time ago that was. Today, illegals harvest ballots, and that's critical not for the food supply, but the power supply of elected Democrats.

End birthright citizenship.

Prosecute the Governors and Mayor's harboring, aiding and abetting illegal aliens.

Send a Directive to ALL government employees to terminate any and all benefits awarded to illegal aliens including school, healthcare, welfare, food stamps, drivers licenses and IRS tax refunds or they will be FIRED!

They have no Student Visa to attend our schools. Get them out of our schools!

Fine employers and/or suspend their business licenses.

It is expensive to live here...enforce Public Charge laws on the books and make them self deport!

This is very true. But what is the tactic to stop them. As long as they can make the American public swallow their emotion-laden rhetoric----and at the same time our governing authorities take no steps against them---they can win.

Democrats understand the civil disruption tactic of lawfare. Republicans apparently don't. Dems have launched into a religious crusade where they falsely claim moral authority and get away with it. They openly say they can defy the federal government; they use any propaganda technique they can; they assert that they deserve equal time even surpassing traditional minority party rebuttals. They simply act as though they are still the government even when they are not. Republicans blow every opportunity to actually use all of the reins of government available to them, even when it is right in front of them.

Every country on earth believes it has a sovereign right at least to its own territory. Except the US.
