Immigration Fraud

Republicans are being urged by four of their senators, prominent partisans and special interests to consign their party to permanent minority status.  Oh, that’s not the stated purpose of so-called “comprehensive immigration reform.”  But it would be the practical – and predictable – effect.

There are, of course, many other problems with this initiative, including that it immediately rewards with legal status people who have violated our laws – at enormous cost.

But, as Mark Krikorian recently observed, a similar effort was deliberately mounted by the Left in Britain two decades ago to change the demographics and, for almost a generation, the politics of that country. Neither the United States as a whole nor the GOP will benefit from repeating this error, no matter how many times Republicans are told a new amnesty will earn Hispanic votes.
