Dems Sucking Up To Hispanics ???

Yo no hablo inglés.

Is the Democratic Party platform sucking up to Hispanics? It sure seems that way. You can read about it here:

In a way, this all makes perfect sense. In 2008, they gave us a President who is not a natural born citizen (and apparently not a legal citizen, either), and in 2016 they want to give us a President who so far is an unindicted felon. What a pair of perfect matches for the millions of lawless immigrants they want to bring into the fold.

I keep hearing that immigration is the backbone of America, or some such crap. That may have been true in the past, but exactly what value are these immigrants bringing to our economy in the information age?

Their presence does in fact serve an important purpose for corporations, in that they put downward pressure on wages, but what do they do for We The People? NOTHING OF VALUE, as far as I can see.

We've come a long way from the days when a President stated these common sense rules for immigration and assimilation:

American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose, it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. I am convinced that our present economic and social conditions warrant a limitation of those to be admitted. We should find additional safety in a law requiring the immediate registration of all aliens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.

Calvin Coolidge

Sneaking in illegally and then extorting citizenship does not fall within the boundaries of "the American spirit".
