Dems’ Pitch to Win Back Hispanic Voters: ‘We Need Illegals to Mow Our Lawns and Do Our Dishes’
by Stephen Kruiser
No matter what they’re doing at the time — rioting, condescending, or pandering — the Democratic elite want the electorate to believe that their brand is compassion. In any leftist’s telling of the story, they simply care more than us coldhearted conservatives. They’ve had remarkable success flinging this fly-covered manure all over the place, to be sure. It’s been their primary sales pitch to minorities for well over half of a century now. Despite all of the crime and poverty that the Democrats’ caring has brought to almost every blue city in America, they keep getting elected.
The power players at the Democratic National Committee live in constant fear that American minorities will one day realize en masse that Dem politicians have never done much for them. Or anything at all.
When then-private citizen Donald Trump came down that escalator in 2015 and spoke honestly about this country’s illegal immigration problem, the mainstream media consensus was that no Hispanic voter would ever cast a ballot for the GOP again if he were elected. A funny thing happened on the way to two terms in the Oval Office — President Trump has been steadily eroding the Hispanic voting bloc that the Democrats spent decades taking for granted.
Black men — another demographic that the Dems have abused and ignored — have also been moving to the right, but they aren’t the focus for this column.
Democrats long ago went all-in on open borders not only because they wanted to quickly turn illegals into loyal voters for them, but also because they thought it was the perfect pander move to keep the Hispanic-American voters in line. If it doesn’t involve pandering, Dems don’t understand it.
The other thing that they have never grasped is the fact that legal immigrants tend not to be too fond of sucking up to illegal immigrants. My hometown has a significant Hispanic population. Some of the most hardcore conservatives I know here are first or second generation people whose families came from Mexico legally.
