Democrats Want To Keep The U.S. Border Wide Open As An Electoral Strategy

If you want to know where Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats stand on the border and immigration, a recent exchange between former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Bill Maher tells the tale.

Democrats have been talking about mass immigration as a political strategy for decades.

A widely-read 2002 book, "The Emerging Democratic Majority," by Ruy Teixeira and John Judis, argued that a dominant Democratic Party of the future would be a coalition of traditional Democrats like working-class whites, single women, and black Americans, together with a new professional class and, crucially, immigrants.

It hasn't exactly turned out that way, but for many years it was openly and unashamedly argued among Democrats that the key to future electoral success was importing immigrants in the belief that they would vote Democrat.

All you have to do is simply take Democrat strategists - and Nancy Pelosi - at their word.

They think illegal immigrants, if they're allowed to stay, will vote Democrat.

The unserious argument Democrats offer in reply to those who object on grounds of election integrity is that illegal immigrants won't vote in federal elections because it's illegal - as if declaring clandestine border-crossing to be illegal would finally secure the border.

All of this is to reiterate that yes, Democrats favor mass illegal immigration because they believe it’s a strategy for electoral victory. They have thought so for decades, so let’s not be surprised when in unguarded moments they come right out and admit it, as Nancy Pelosi just did.
