Yes Virginia Immigration Is Turning The Country Blue

By Ann Coulter Hey Republicans! Did you enjoy Election Night last week? Get ready for a lot more nights like that as immigration turns every last corner of the country blue. When Ed Gillespie lost in Virginia liberals crowed about how theyre winning the war of ideas. The country has thoroughly emphatically rejected Trumpism! Republicans being idiots played along arguing only about whether Gillespies problem was that he didnt embrace Trump enough or embraced him too much. Gillespies campaign was fine. No cleverer arguments community outreach or perfectly timed mailings would have changed the result. Contrary to The New York Times celebratory article in last Sundays magazine How the Resistance Helped Democrats Dominate Virginia it wasnt Democratic operative Kathryn Sorensons savvy use of Facebook Google and Eventbrites that carried the day. The Resistance didnt win. What happened was: Democrats brought in new voters. In 1970 only one out of every 100 Virginians was foreign-born. By 2012 one in nine Virginians was foreign-born. The foreign-born vote overwhelmingly by about 80 percent for Democrats. They always have and they always will -- especially now that our immigration policies aggressively discriminate in favor of the poorest least-educated most unskilled people on Earth. They arrive in need of a LOT of government services. According to the Pew Research Center 75 percent of Hispanic immigrants and 55 percent of Asian immigrants support bigger government compared to just over 40 percent of the general public. Even third-generation Hispanics support bigger government by 58 percent. Polls show that immigrants are far more likely to support Obamacare and affirmative action than the general public and are far less likely to support gun rights and capitalism. Its one thing not to mention ethnic differences in crime statistics or welfare usage to avoid hurting anyones feelings but if the GOP continues to pretend to see no difference in how different groups vote -- while importing millions more foreigners to vote against them -- then they should get used to a lot more elections like what happened in Virginia last week. Its not as if Republicans are unaware of how demographics can affect elections. They certainly notice when theyre drawing congressional boundaries. We dont see GOP congressmen saying No I dont mind trading that all-white town for part of a Chicago housing project. Why should I? Currently everyone seems to be blaming the total disappearance of the GOP in Virginia on another demographic trend: All those federal workers living in the northern part of the state. This is a fairy tale like the one about Proposition 187 turning California blue or the one about the complacency of old money turning Connecticut blue or the one about a disorganized Republican Party turning Illinois blue. Pay no attention to the millions of Third-Worlders weve been dumping on the country! In the past 40 years upward of 50 million culturally backward dirt-poor immigrants arrived in America and state after state has gone blue but were always told states are flipping to the Democrats for some reason -- any reason! -- other than immigration. True Virginia is home to 322198 people who are either current or retired federal employees. On the other hand there are more than 800000 Virginians who are foreign-born -- and thats not including the children grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the foreign-born who arrived in the 1970s 1980s and 1990s. Moreover in Virginia federal employee is not as Democratic-leaning as it sounds on account of the states numerous military bases. Virginia Beach for example the largest city in the state has a higher percentage of federal employees in the workforce than the entire Washington D.C. metro area. And yet Virginia Beach still votes Republican in presidential elections and is represented by a Republican in Congress. Almost 15 percent of Virginians speak a language other than English at home. If we double the number of Virginians who are now employed by or have ever worked for the federal government -- and assume that none of them work on military bases -- thats still just 8 percent of the population. The only reason Democrats want a never-ending stream of Third World immigrants is because they know immigrants will help them win elections allowing The New York Times to write self-congratulatory editorials like this one last week: Virginia Rejects Your Hateful Politics Mr. Trump. Well technically millions of Third-Worlders living in Virginia rejected Trumps hateful politics. But guess what? They also rejected John McCains pusillanimous politics and Mitt Romneys soft-spoken politics. They were brought in to vote for the Democrats. Thats the real job immigrants are doing that Americans just wont do. As Democratic consultant Patrick Reddy wrote for the Roper Center 20 years ago the 1965 Immigration Act bringing in a wave of immigration from the Third World will go down in history as the Kennedy familys greatest gift to the Democratic Party. There isnt much time on the clock before its lights-out for the GOP. And all Republicans can think to do is argue about how quickly to grant amnesty to so-called Dreamers and give the Democrats another 30 million voters.
