Race card debt comes due for Democrats

A majority of Hispanic voters think legal status to illegal immigrants should be granted only after a goal of stopping 90 percent of future illegal immigration has been achieved, according to a new survey by GOP pollster John McLaughlin.

By a margin of 60 percent to 34 percent, registered Hispanic voters said they supported granting legal status to illegal immigrants “only when the 90% goal is reached.” Hispanic adults backed the proposal by a nearly identical margin — 60 percent to 32 percent.
President Obama promised a post-racial America. He has created a Most Racial America. Democrats are about to pay for his choice to push people apart, instead of bringing them together.

The assumption is the Republican Party is just a bunch of old white men who will die out soon while Democrats corner the market on minority votes. But the election showed that the Democratic Party strategy of dividing the nation into groups of victims has its shortcomings. In fact, with their racial politics of favoring black people puts a strain on Democratic Party relations with Hispanics and Asian-Americans.

If Democrats thought the shooting of Michael Brown would gin up the African-Americans vote, they thought wrong. Most people now see Ferguson as just more Kabuki theatrics from tax-cheat Al Sharpton and the tax-exempt NAACP. Most people believe Officer Darren Wilson's shooting was a justifiable homicide -- including one in three black people, according to a poll reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

And I doubt granting citizenship to illegal aliens will help court Hispanics to the Democratic side. Most Hispanics don't want it. In July 2013, the National Review reported:

A majority of Hispanic voters think legal status to illegal immigrants should be granted only after a goal of stopping 90 percent of future illegal immigration has been achieved, according to a new survey by GOP pollster John McLaughlin.

By a margin of 60 percent to 34 percent, registered Hispanic voters said they supported granting legal status to illegal immigrants “only when the 90% goal is reached.” Hispanic adults backed the proposal by a nearly identical margin — 60 percent to 32 percent.

On top of that, Obama is ticking off the legal immigrants who went through the front door. His lawlessness reflects a fanatic political party peopled by irrational radicals who are hellbent on power by any means -- especially the amoral and illegal means.

The Hispanic vote is hardly owned by Democrats. Republican Greg Abbott walloped Abortion Barbie Wendy Davis in Texas by more than 20 points in a the state that ranks No. 2 in both the number of Hispanics and the percentage of the population that is Hispanic. Both of the nation's Hispanic governors are Republican, as are both its Asian-American governors.

And voters don't care about color. Utah is one of the whitest states. It just elected the nation's first Republican black congresswoman. West Virginia has the lowest percentage of Hispanics among the states, and it just elected its first Hispanic congressman, Alex X. Mooney. In a post-racial America, voters judge people on their character and political positions and not just their race or ethnic heritage. That works against Democrats, who emphasize color, ethnicity and sex over character.

The biggest blunder in the racial policies of the ultra-liberal Democratic Party is in the party's blind support of the antiquated affirmative action policy -- a relic of the 1970s. This policy has become the 21st century's "Yellow Peril" of bigotry against Asian-Americans, who are the nation's best scholars and yet they increasingly are shut out by Harvard and other prestigious colleges when it comes to admissions.

On Monday, Business Insider reported:


Harvard University and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill are both being sued for allegedly discriminating against Asian-American students in their undergraduate admissions policies.

The lawsuits claim Harvard and UNC's race-based affirmative action policies hurt the admissions chances of Asian-American students. The lawsuit against Harvard claims it intentionally tries to limit the number of Asians in the attendance the same way it once limited the number of Jews at the school.

The lawsuits were filed by Students for Fair Admissions, a newly formed nonprofit group. The group is made up of "students, parents, and others who believe that racial classifications and preferences in college admissions are unfair, unnecessary, and unconstitutional," according to its website.

"Students for Fair Admission's complaint highlights data and analysis that strongly suggests that white, African-American, and Hispanic applicants are given racial preferences over better qualified Asian-Americans applying for admission to Harvard," the group said in a press release.

If the allegations are true, I trust jurors will make Harvard shell out billions in actual and punitive damages for this outlandish racism. The hatred of Asian-Americans by liberals should be easy to document. I hope Harvard is relieved of all of that $35 billion in tax-exempt "endowment" funds. Oh I would love to see some federal prosecutor comb the books to see who gets what investment fees for handling all that loot.

If Ivy League colleges are ever forced to end their anti-Asian-American quotas, watch out. The parents who raise their children with discipline and who demand academic excellence instead of worrying about their feelings will quickly dominate the schools, which now churn out credentialed leeches like Jonathan Gruber and Timothy Geithner.

For decades, concern-trolling liberals have lectured Republicans to lighten up on their principles in order to attract minorities. We know why. White liberals think minorities are inferiors who can be easily fooled. But white liberals quickly are turning their party into a regional party of rich white liberals and black people clinging to the shores of the two coasts and urban centers.
