The Unspoken But Actual Immigration Argument

I've been reading a lot lately online and in print, and also seeing on TV the pundits expounding on all the wrong arguments regarding illegal immigration. It's not useful to reiterate the nonsense, so I'll get right to the heart of the real issue: Votes.

This all about votes. Its always been about votes and it always will be about votes. Democrats desperately want to convert 10+ million illegal immigrants into 6+million votes for Democrats. It's pure numbers; as long as illegal immigrants are likely to vote 60% or greater in favor of Democrats, Democrats will continue to push for those people to not only be allowed to vote but encourage them to bring their family and friends across to do the same.

That's the basic difference between people and party. A liberal would have an actual reason for wanting to allow an illegal immigrant to stay and be provided food and shelter and even work - that's just how they think. And a conservative would have an equally compelling reason to send them back, whether it be security or crime or services fraud or what have you. But the parties are focused solely on gaining and expanding power.

I do believe that fundamentally, conservative Republicans are much less likely to be driven by votes and much more likely to be guided by moral and legal convictions than Democrats, who ore exclusively devoted to the goal of growing power and government control. What is absolute is that people are merely pawns in this chess match between Democrats and Republicans. They are being manipulated for a specific agenda, and for no other reason.
