‘Obama’s challenge is to ensure that Hispanics pledge allegiance to the Democratic Party’
Posted on 29. Nov, 2009 by Shera Crossan in Immigration, Politics
Obama’s challenge is to ensure that Hispanics pledge allegiance to the Democratic Party for the 2010 elections and keep supporting him through his own likely 2012 re-election race while he tackles the divisive issue of repairing the nation’s patchy immigration system. Hispanics are the nation’s fastest-growing minority group. The government projects they will account for 30 percent of the population by 2050, doubling in size from today and boosting their political power.
If Democrats build on Obama’s gains, Texas and other traditionally Republican states with huge numbers of Hispanics could be within reach in the future. That would mean deep trouble for a GOP that’s already older, whiter, dwindling in numbers and lacking a standard bearer to make Hispanics a priority the way Bush did. Yet while the latest Associated Press-GfK poll showed that a strong 68 percent of Hispanics approve of the job Obama’s doing, maintaining such support is far from certain.
Immigration is a galvanizing issue on both the left and the right, with pitfalls for both parties. Republicans could alienate Hispanics if the vocal right again takes control of the debate with angry rhetoric. Democrats risk seriously disillusioning Hispanics by inaction, delay or a piecemeal approach. A fight in Congress is assured.
“Our community will judge him based on how he delivers on the promise he made to see immigration reform early in his administration,” said Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, suggesting the issue trumps everything else.More
You know, I don’t think Texas has much to worry about, unless ACORN gets a branch going here. Because it takes legal citizens voting to change anything, and if to judge by the way ICE has performed in the past (I was recently illegally arrested – charge dropped because I was not breaking the law by carrying prescription medicine that was mine – by two Spic HPD “officers”…funny how they can arrest me walking out of a restaurant for Public Intoxication after only having one beer with dinner and then the charge becomes Possession Of A Controlled Substance – I had my prescription information in my wallet because I don’t carry all my medicine around, just enough to get me through the work day and any after-work excursions, like dinner or working out with friends, and I repeatedly told them I had my prescription info; this or something similar – always involved my medicine – has happened to me 3 times now, each time somehow involving a restaurant, bizarre), there won’t be any illegals left to fake ACORN votes. Each time I get released from Harris County, TX, I have to wait up to 10 hours for them to process the illegals. It’s hilarious, they take every single inmate out of the tank who has a Hispanic-sounding name and run them through various databases, and only about 10% of them come back to the tank. One guy was an Israeli (who looked just like a Mexican) and started complaining (while we were being released) about being harassed, and I told him to shut the fuck up, that if he’s here in a temporary visa and commits a crime, what does he expect? An extension?
There was one guy trying to hide behind the privacy divider around the toilets when they kept calling his name. Every single other inmate – Black, White, whatever – grabbed him and passed him to the front of them tank after this happened twice. The first couple of time were funny, but once it became obvious that no one was going anywhere until this guy came out, we handled it.
And handled is the word. Of the forty or so prisoners who laid hands on him, every other one punched or kicked him at least once, so by the time ICE got him, he’d had the shit beaten out of him. When he started whining about it (in Spanish), the ICE cop just said “What do you expect? You’re in a cell with at least 50 people who want to go home, get drunk and fuck their girlfriend, and forget the last year or whatever didn’t happen…think about it.” Proud to say I put a steeltoe in his gut myself!
When I was finally released, my ride told me that ICE had carted off about 5 busloads of the motherfuckers while he was there (since they catch some of the way in and some on the way out, but they were getting them. There’s a reason wetbacks live in their own neighborhoods – so no one has them deported!
They’re not wanted, even by niggers – after all, even the dumbest monkey around realizes there’s less for them to sponge up if the border jumpers are getting some of it too!
I doubt the spics will get everything they want. Part of or a large part of their problem is that a lot of their numbers are illegal. So the old saying of “close, but no cigar” applies here. Of course the gov’s projections do not state if that 30% of the pop. by 2050 growth is through legal or illegal means. Ah the days of good old fashioned gerrymandering.
Keep in mind that Latinos are a very small number. Most are illegal. If they are not granted amnesty, they have very little power. It is perceived bc of kike lawyers. I am Jew and I saw a kike lawyer in my town represent illegals suing police who were asking them not to harass chicks. He won. Very sad indeed.
