President Obama's decision to grant amnesty to between 4 and
5 million people is really part of an ongoing cyclical process of immigration-amnesty-more
immigration.
He intends this amnesty to provoke a new wave of illegal
entry into the United States, creating a new pool of illegal immigrants
awaiting their own amnesty.
And in the meantime, they will constitute a "ghost
army" able to vote illegally with no requirement that they present photo
identification.
Obama's previous grant of amnesty -- to the group known as
"DREAMERS" -- triggered a flood of new illegal immigration from
Central America. No sooner did they arrive than Obama packed them off to all
parts of the country, likely shielding them from deportation.
His new amnesty, based on giving legal status to those who
have had anchor babies in the U.S., suggests a simple strategy for the coming
wave of illegal immigrants: Come here, sneak over the border, have a baby in
the U.S., and wait for your amnesty.
None of these outcomes are unintended consequences of the
president's program -- they lie at its very core. In our book "Power
Grab," we explain how Obama uses this cycle of amnesty and immigration to
pad his electorate and power the left into office using demographically based
politics.
But Obama's nightmare is that even as he catalyzes millions
of new immigrants, Latinos who have lived here for many years might be assimilating,
voting as independents unwilling to toe the ethnic voting line. The president's
economic policies, which decrease upward mobility, may retard assimilation, but
the process is proceeding nonetheless.
In the 2012 election, 75 percent of Hispanics voted for
Obama. But this year, only 63 percent did.
When will the Latino vote go Republican? When it is no
longer the Latino vote. The same assimilation, intermarriage, and merging which
has extinguished the German-American, Italian-American, and Irish-American
vote, making them all just American voters, is at work among Hispanics.
Democrats would prefer that Latinos follow the model of
African-Americans, whose resentment, memory of past discrimination, and worry
about ongoing racism keep them bound to the Democratic Party even as they move
up the income ladder. But Latinos give every evidence of being more like the
traditional immigrant groups that merge into the American population and
culture.
In a sense, the very removal of the grievance over immigration
reform, implicit in Obama's amnesty, may serve to undermine his purpose by
reducing the racial tensions which keep Latinos Democrat.
Devout Catholics and increasingly evangelical Protestants,
the Latino vote embraces values shared largely by Republicans. Their move to
the right as they advance economically may swing the electorate back to the
Republicans.
