No matter, because the Democrats are no longer the party of labor. Back when they were — in the prelapsarian Clinton years — they sought tight labor markets precisely for their efficacy in boosting lower-end wages. But today’s Democrats are the party of high class, high tech and high capital.
This glamour coalition is not big enough by itself to win elections. So the left has hoodwinked some (but, as the 2016 election shows, by no means all) low-income voters into thinking that their interests align with those of Wall Street and Silicon Valley oligarchs.

Losing America
By John Scotto
Not too long ago we as a
people could generally agree upon a certain set of core values. Today a smaller
majority of the American people still believe in the US Constitution and many
people are starting to lose focus on the things that really matter the most.
When did certain members
of our society all of sudden become selective regarding the laws they wished to
be enforced ?
When exactly did some US
citizens lose their basic instinct for survival ?
The Democratic Party's
leadership not too long ago believed illegal immigration was wrong (video).
Why have their minds now suddenly shifted ? Has importing a new
Democrat voter base into this nation become just too appealing an idea for them
not to take advantage of? A voter base which would be
beholden to big government from cradle to grave. A voting bloc of people that
would cast their votes depending upon what government could provide them.
Most rational citizens
understand that unfettered and unchecked illegal immigration is a recipe for
disaster. Yet huge factions of the new radical leftist Democrats currently
believe illegal immigration is some kind of noble cause involving social
justice. Many within the current party leadership have become all too willing
to completely toss away the former US immigration melting pot model and happily
replace it with a new "salad bowl" model.
Reality and history have
proven to all of us that a nation simply we cannot safely absorb relentless
waves of unassimilated immigration and expect to survive. Illegal
immigrants bring with them so many different languages and cultures, and many
of them have no desire to assimilate or learn the English language. Diversity
is not always necessarily a strength. Change is not always a positive thing.
Illegal immigrants who refuse to assimilate and learn our language are placing
a heavy burden upon us.
Illegal aliens who are
willing to work for extremely low wages are helping to eliminate the US blue
collar middle class. These illegal aliens currently flooding
the US labor force are driving down the wages of American workers. I am sick of
hearing the line, "Americans are not willing to do those jobs." In
reality Americans would be willing to do those jobs, but obviously not for
slave wages.
Illegal immigration is
placing an enormous financial burden upon our health care system. It has become
common place for illegal aliens to use the emergency rooms of US hospitals as
their personal doctors. This inevitably drives up the cost of healthcare for
all of us.
A decade-and-a-half ago, a
former liberal Democrat named Dick Lamm gave a prophetic five minute speech on
how a nation like America could easily self-destruct. The former governor of
Colorado was issuing a warning to all of us in the United States who were
willing to listen. Lamm unveiled a chilling point by point hypothetical
plan on how to destroy America through the immigration process. Every
citizen within this country should consider listening to this five
minute audio clip and hear the chilling prophetic words of Lamm
ring out so loud and true today.
A nation that makes
allowances for illegal immigration, especially without any significant time for
assimilation, eventually becomes a nation under invasion,
something which then eventually results in colonization.
The rule of law becomes a
moot point when corrupt agenda-driven politicians within the government get to
pick and choose the laws they wish to be enforced. When this type of selective
law enforcement is facilitated, our country becomes nothing more than a banana
republic.
The many remaining
law-abiding citizens, along with Republican politicians, need to start
adamantly calling out the Democrats for their irrational supportive stance
regarding illegal immigration. We all need to confront the radical Democrats
head on. They are the party whose senior members have the audacity to lecture
and virtue signal conservatives on how evil and uncaring we have all become.
Constantly painting those of us on the right as the bad guys. Simply because we
conservatives dare to hold our American sovereignty sacred and know our borders
need to become more safe and secure. All the rational people within this
country are demanding the immigration process be a legal and closely monitored
one.
Immigration could be a
winning issue for Republicans in November. But they need to hammer this issue
home with courage and fortitude, not backing down for fear of being called a
racist or xenophobe. If the Republicans expect to win in November, they need to
highlight all the negatives of uninterrupted waves of illegal immigration. A
non-stop flow of illegal immigration being shoved down our throats by the
Democrats and their puppet media.
We conservatives all need to
stand as one with President Trump and affirm his policies regarding
immigration. Trump's immigration plan adheres to basic common sense. Trump is
putting individual American citizen's lives above political correctness, and
this is making us all safer.
Illegal immigration has become
the catalyst for big changes in this country. Changes within a nation which
inevitably become irreversible if we fail to act. Change for the sake of change
is a most dangerous thing.
An America that ignores the
problems that come attached to open borders and illegal immigration is doomed
for destruction. A citizenry which no longer believes in the rule of law and
which pays lip service to our US Constitution is no longer free. A people who
are no longer willing to hold their leaders accountable in regard to enforcing
the rule of law, eventually become enslaved within a tyranny.

AMERICA’S OPEN AND
UNDEFENDED BORDERS:
LA RAZA HEROIN CARTELS
CUT HEART OUT OF LIVING MAN AND BEHEAD HIS PARTNER!
MEXICANS ARE THE
MOST VIOLENT CULTURE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE!
"A group of cartel gunmen fighting for
control of a Mexican coastal state cut out the heart of one of their living
victims while another was beheaded. The violence took place not far from the
beach resort cities of Acapulco and Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Guerrero."
Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified
before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants
for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los
Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los
Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are
old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell
you it’s much worse today.
