Will you Republicans quickly call GOP offices and talk about the political suicide?

DEAR REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF NUMBERSUSA,

A close Republican Congressman has shared these quotes from major news sources.

Please phone all the Republican offices you can this afternoon and then again Wednesday morning and talk to them about one or more of these quotes and how any Republican who votes to add another 30 million or so immigrants the next 20 years is politically suicidal.

Because most immigrants are poor, most end up voting with and for the Party that does more income redistribution. Immigration always has and still does provide a substantial net gain each year to Democratic voting registration.

THESE ARE ALL QUOTES FROM NEWS SOURCES

Top Democratic leaders and activists see Hispanic migration as a long-term opportunity for the party. The arrival of additional immigrant workers is “bad for blue-collars,” Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, told National Journal late last year. But immigrants can help elect Democratic majorities, and “if [a Democratic Congress> were to significantly strengthen unions, then you would offset the negative effect on the income of workers,” he said.

“Somehow,” said a Democrat lawmaker who is trying to build Republican support, “we have to convince them that voting for comprehensive reform does not amount to ‘enfranchising their defeat,'” a reference to the likelihood that two of every three new Latino voters would cast Democratic ballots. “Our problem,” he admitted, “is that we are hoping that the legislation will build the Democratic electorate.” (National Journal, 2/10/07)

Democratic leaders say Republican backing is critical, both to ensure passage of a bill in the Senate and to protect newly elected moderate and conservative Democrats in the House, some of whom campaigned against legalizing illegal immigrants. (New York Times, 3/23/07)
