Quotational Therapy: Part 90 -- Instant Democrats?

This probably wasn't a slip of the tongue.

"Marches will only get you so far. There has to be an electoral component to get the Republicans out of the majority."

It seems for some, the issue isn't really about the rule of law, border security, or economics.

Armando Navarro sees millions of potential democrat voters who's sole purpose will be to vote out Republicans.

Amnesty will generate lots of new Democratic votes. Armando knows this.

Also from the article:

Voter registration and citizenship education initiatives are set to begin in several states after a "Day Without An Immigrant" campaign planned for May 1, an event that asks immigrants nationwide to stay home from work and school, and refrain from buying U.S. products.

New proposal. A day without illegal labor.

For one day (or many more) no U.S. business or individual will hire an illegal alien employee for work of any type. What effect would this lack of demand have on the flow of immigrants to the U.S? How many millions of dollars would be lost towards Mexico's economy? Who's economy would be hurt worse?

I know which one I'd bet would endure for the long-haul.

The democrats will go to any means possible to increase their political base. Abiding by the voter registration and voting laws has never crossed their minds.

only problem is when they find out that dem's are anti-business, pro-choice, anti-military and pro gay marriage and these voters are pro-family, pro-life, pro-business and pro-military. that will hurt them in the long run. besides more and more latinos are voting republican anyway. look at the trend.

I hope you're right, Christian. And I've heard that internally, there's a significant degree of discourse amongst legal immigrants' views on the recent protests.

The primary quote for this post just shows that for some, like Armando, all he sees are votes for D's. Win at any cost.

This pandering is blatant and open. I hope people see it for what it is.

If one day will do a little good then a month will do a lot. I think they should go for a month and really show us how valuable they are.
