The fact is this, poor people have lots of babies. They don't have much else to do. Poor people vote democratic in large numbers. The fact that minorities have more poor people then whites, well, thats another argument to have at another time.
Yeah it does, the wave of poverty stricken, collectivist voters(if amnesty is past, and or their kids voting 18 years later via Birthright Citizenship) would stop.

Legal immigration is fine, so long as it is not based on race, but skilled labor and have a cap at 200,000.

Why should we take on massive numbers of unskilled person, imported just so a party can have a new stock of voters and companies can have a endless supply of cheap labor..

Hey they do, maybe teach them to close your knees and go to schools and stop prompting single mother hood as this proud struggle, it is harmful on the mother, the kids, and more importantly the taxpayers..

The Democratic needs people to be uneducated and dependent on handouts, if they cant get it with Americans they will import poverty to added to said class and if one says anything about it, they scream "racist"

Its a death spiral that ends very badly for all people involved expect the some ruling class of both parties..

How is a do nothing congress a bad thing? We have seen what they do when they do something, they make things worse.

Hey if a Benghazi investigation will yield nothing, why do the Dems oppose it?

No it doesn't.

One more time.

Prove to me, with numbers please, an article from a reputable source (reuters, ap, hell even Fox news) that details how illegal immigration is causing Republicans to lose elections, from voting.

polls are as good as the day they are taken. I do think the recent trend is showing the Dems might have trouble hanging on to the senate: certainly the GOP will pick up a couple of seats and let's face it, like it or not, regardless of your views Obama isn't going down, as the most popular pres in history, but what this has to do with 2016, probably very little.

You can believe that, but it's highly unlikely that the manufactured, ginned-up "scandals" such as the IRS thing and the Benghazi thing are going to motivate the public outside of the usual "true believers."

And even if the Republicans do get a majority in the Senate in 2014, it's likely to be short-lived given that they have many more seats to defend in 2016.

Devastating news for the Democrat Party and King Obama. At six months out from November, it's becoming less and less likely that the Democrats will be able to reverse their fortunes for the midterms.
I don't understand why they all aren't dying to have him campaign with them.

For the same reasons that Bush didn't and Clinton didn't. Even Reagan's popularity was slipping in the 6th year.
By the 6th year, very few Presidents remain as popular as when they were re-elected 2 years earlier.
The 6th year always seems to be the one when the chickens come home to roost, whatever the chickens are.
Most Presidents are up to their eyeballs in something by the 6th year.
