I keep telling myself to stay out of what is none of my business....but...
To say that allowing a block of immigration, yes even 12 million, is some kind of attempt to guarantee future votes is a very flawed concept.
1. There is no way to control these people, come elections they will vote for who best satisfies their needs.
2. There is 315 million people in the US, adding 12 mill immigrants of which stats show at least half wont vote is not going to make a lot off difference.
3. This wasn't a razor edge win this was an ass whop, to win in 2016 the repubs don't need more voters they need better policies and leaders.
