Would Any of You of "The Race" Care to Register to Vote?

One of the ongoing political canards, under which the national Elephantary gathering is sadly operating, is that allowing millions of second-grade dropouts from south of the border to suddenly and miraculously join the law-abiding Latinos who went about the process, shall we say, a bit more legally, as citizen residents of our once proud nation will somehow alleviate their Hispanic situation at the polls.

Or more specifically, that not capitulating to the mob and its mentality in this regard will hurt them whence the November curtains close.

As so sophomorically exhibited in yesterday's Dallas Morning News. One need look no further than the title and its sub- to see the decrepitity of thought.

"... (P)arty's gains with Hispanics." Gains based on behaving as conservatives, meaning standing for things like the rule of law, national security and consistency in the application of all things government.

Standing on the shores of the Rio Grande, facing south and bellowing "Olly olly oxen-free" is policy in diametric opposition to all of the things that have contributed to the progress amongst Latinos which even the Left begrudgingly admits the Right has made.

In a Letter to the Author we responded:

I believe your analysis of the electoral effect of Republican enforcement of the nation's immigration laws is completely and in totality wrong.

There are very few people in America that have greater disdain for the wanton presence of illegal immigrants than legal Latino residents.

For, much like blacks who succeed on their merit but are tarred with the broad brush of affirmative action, those Hispanics who worked through the very difficult system to become legal residents are appalled that there are others who will be given free and outright that which they toiled so hard to earn.

They find the illegal aliens' impudent demands to be an affront to all in which they believe, their respect and love for our nation as represented by their willingness to have put in the work to get and stay here in compliance with the rules in place. That those who have snuck in now demand equal standing is a tremendous insult to them and the rule of law to which they adhered.

Besides which, these legal Latino residents CAN vote, and those who have invaded bereft of proper papers CAN NOT. Unless you are admitting to knowing something that we do not about the voting practices of those who should not be practicing the art of voting.

Question my analysis? Simply ask any Hispanic you know to be a citizen, but who does not know that you do, if he or she is here legally, and watch his reaction. Then ask him what he thinks of his being played as a sucker for playing by the rules, whilst millions of others are going to get a blanket pass and the citizenship he worked so hard to attain.

If Republicans unified behind a strong pro-rule of law, pro-national security, pro-sovereignty policy, their poll numbers amongst legal Hispanics would soar, not sink as you posit in your piece.

So why does the national Republican contingent behave in so criminally stupid a fashion? An impotent yet pungent concoction of fears; of business interests who insist on a 19th Century solution (uninterrupted, limitless waves of laborers) to a 21st Century economy; of a potential eventual uneducated Hispanic voting bloc; of being dubbed racist, or bigoted, or xenophobic by people who have already for decades been dubbing them racist, bigoted and xenophobic.
