Isn't that the Plan? Illegal Alien Amnesty Would Have Given Obama a Landslide Victory

Between Obama and Congress, Adios Gringos!

Illegal Alien Amnesty Would Have Given Obama a Landslide Victory | FrontPage Magazine

Here’s a great plan for the future of the Republican Party. How about we hand over Florida, Colorado and Nevada to the Democratic Party without ever dreaming of competing in them again. And let’s turn Texas and Arizona into the new swing states.
It’s easy, it’s fun and it will make it impossible for Republicans to win the White House ever again after 2022. It’s the amazing plan being peddled by Senator Graham and Senator Rubio, among other geniuses. It’s a plan to lose every election ever as the only hope for saving the Republican Party.
Some people would call that a bad plan, but who listens to Conservative Republicans anyway?
The immigration proposal pending in Congress would transform the nation’s political landscape for a generation or more — pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that, if current trends hold, would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily.
Full voting rights — for a group of undocumented residents that roughly equals the population of Ohio, the nation’s seventh-largest state.
If these people had been on the voting rolls in 2012 and voted along the same lines as other Hispanic voters did last fall, President Barack Obama’s relatively narrow victory last fall would have been considerably wider, a POLITICO analysis showed.
Key swing states that Obama fought tooth and nail to win — like Florida, Colorado and Nevada — would have been comfortably in his column. And the president would have come very close to winning Arizona.
Republican Mitt Romney, by contrast, would have lost the national popular vote by 7 percentage points, 53 percent to 46 percent, instead of the 4-point margin he lost by in 2012, and would have struggled even to stay competitive in GOP strongholds like Texas, which he won with 57 percent of the vote.
Under a 13-year path to citizenship, this would mean most undocumented immigrants could join the voting rolls in the 2028 presidential election (though the proposed 5-year timeline for citizenship under the DREAM Act and for agricultural workers would start the process even earlier than that)
And then the electoral math really becomes fun ...
