Immigration Bill"s Not So Hidden Agenda
As the so called 'gang of eight", scrambles to amend the immigration bill to appease conservatives' border security concerns, its passage will surely benefit Democrats long term. Under the proposed legislation, 8 million immigrants would become legal-a large number of them Hispanics- which will surely spark a battle for those voters. During the last two presidential elections, neither John McCain or Mitt Romney could not maintain the support from Latino voters as did George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. This trend could likely continue for the foreseeable future.
Many of these illegals will become instant Democratic voters who will be very receptive to liberals giveaways and social programs. This spells trouble for not only black Americans but for America in general. The influx of new and primarily low skilled workers will not only further drive down wages, black Americans will no longer be the darlings of the Democratic party. A few years ago, I wrote a piece on this blog entitled 'The Coming War between Blacks And Hispanics' which predicted an end to the alleged kinship between the two groups as Hispanics gain political clout. The much discussed black unemployment rate which hovers around 13.5% will remain stagnant with the additional competition from the millions of new citizens thrown into the labor pool.
The health care law will also be tested with millions more citizens thrown into the mix. The Republicans will have to strike a balance between its conservative principles and its false perception of being 'anti immigrant. It's clear that any legalization of millions of immigrants who primarily come from left wing Latin American countries will benefit the Democratic party. The question that remains to be seen is will it benefit America?
