The blowback begins...

It seems the blowback from the immigration debate has begun with a flood of new citizenship applications.

Personally, I doubt they will vote for anyone who they perceive to be aligned with those who were all but saying, "We never wanted you here in the first place."

Congrats to these new citizens who were here legally and decided it would be in their best interest to become citizens. As someone who opposed the latest version of the senate immigration bill, I say to these new citizens, "Welcome!".

Hope you sing the same tune when they vote overwhelmingly Democrat because the GOP insisted on sucking up to the "Go home mojado!" crowd.

That quote in the paragraph above was uttered at the 1994 SD County GOP convention, to much amusement and merriment. It was uttered to a World War II and Korea veteran of Mexican descent who opposed Proposition 187 on tactical grounds. He went home--to Poway, California. And in 1996, there were over a million additional Hispanic voters in California, all of them Democrat. And the state of California, which used to be a battleground state, is now a Democrat lock.

If people like you didn't exist, Gilbert me boy, the Democrats would have to invent them--which makes me wonder whether or not they did.
