La Raza is demanding that Barack Obama provide amnesty to all illegal aliens, which the Democrat fully intends to do in hopes that millions of new Hispanic voters will help re-elect him. If amnesty past is prologue, there will follow an illegal immigration surge in preparation for the next amnesty.
John McCain took an unprincipled stand on illegal immigration, gambling that any conservative votes he lost on the issue would be offset by a flood of grateful Hispanic supporters. He was wrong. By embracing the phony “Comprehension Immigration Reform”, McCain did alienate the Republican base, but Hispanics still supported Obama two to one.
As David Brooks and other pseudo Republicans declare that conservative principles must be abandoned to achieve electoral success, McCain’s experience proves exactly the opposite. The Democrats may have the votes to impose more illegal immigration upon the American people, but Republicans should take a principled stand and make the case that rewarding lawbreakers is not The Change We Have Been Waiting For.
