SCOTUS Deadlocks On Immigration

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...mepage%2Fstory

This issue alone will hurt the GOP in the upcoming election. Hispanic/Americans will be voting in record numbers this year and they are firmly in the Democratic Party.

It'll fire up both sides. It remains to be seen who gets the larger advantage.

The GOP better start scouring trailer parks and start signing the Bubba voters because Hillary and the Dems are signing up Latinos in record numbers.

When you are stuck in a long backed up traffic jam moving stop and go at an average of 1/10th of a mile an hour hour, how do you feel about some asshole that comes barreling up from behind illegally riding the shoulder and then tries to get into line in front of you?

Well that's how most legal immigrants feel about illegal ones.

That may be so but keep in mind the electoral college determines who becomes president.

That system favors the Repubs.

Many Latinos might be in the category of "redundant voters".

Tom you have to prove citizenship to get on the voter rolls, at least I did here in Maryland. And normally it is the rich bastard in his fancy car that pulls that stunt in my experience.

Is yours a double-wide or single? And what brand of purple light bulbs do you recommend for velvet Elvis posters?
