Thread: Working class voters flee Democrats over party's support for illegals

America's working Class of all colors, faiths, cultures, etc etc are worried about illegals says top Democrat pollster.

Democratic support for immigrants -- legal and illegal -- is chipping away at their support from the party's historic base, working class voters, who believe that the newcomers are robbing jobs.
"The Democrats have moved from seeking to manage and champion the nation's growing immigrant diversity to seeming to champion immigrant rights over American citizens'," according to longtime Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg.
In his warning shot, the former pollster for Bill Clinton, who tracked a similar political shift in the 1980s when he discovered "Reagan Democrats" in Macomb County, Mich., said the difference this time is that many American minorities feel the same way as whites.
"The Democrats don't have a white working-class problem. They have a working-class problem," he said in his latest analysis of his party's woes. "Do not assume that African Americans do not share some of those concerns; many in our focus groups raise anxieties about competition from new immigrants," he added.
While he found that Americans still see immigrants as hard working, they do worry about the costs of immigration. More than 60 percent, according to Greenberg, believed granting legal status to illegal immigrants will "lead to greater competition for public services and more than half believe it would take jobs from American citizens."
And this is where it hurts Democrats: 41 percent believe immigrants "take jobs from U.S. citizens" and half believe legalization "would be a drain on government services."

Tip: follow Paul Bedard from The Washington Examiner. That guy tells it like it is, amazing reporter.

Good!!! This is what Democrats get for betraying Americans and instead giving unconditional support to illegals. I hope this support they have for illegals hurts them very, very badly!
