For American those American citizens struggling to understand why the Obama Administration is talking “immigration reform” (amnesty), at a time of high unemployment and economic uncertainty, this video provides the answer.

The speaker is Eliseo Medina, a leader of the “immigrants rights” movement and an executive vice president of SEIU.

Medina is also a leader of the the Marxist based Democratic Socialists of America – an organization with which President Obama has had a long personal association.

He is speaking at the the “progressive” America’s Future Now! conference in Washington, DC on June 2, 2009.

Speaking of Latino voters, Medina said “when they voted in November, they voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up”

So I think there’s two things that matter for the progressive community.

Number one, if we are to expand this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to solidly be on the side of immigrants, that we’ll expand and solidify the progressive coalition for the future…”

When you are in the middle of a fight for your life you will remember who was there with you. And immigrants count on progressives to be able to do that.

Number two.

We reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters. Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three?

If we have eight million new voters who care about …… and will be voting. We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle.

There you have the strategy. Fight for the illegal immigrants, grant them citizenship, then exploit their gratitude in the form of votes to create a “governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle..”

In other words permanent Democrat/socialist power, through immigrant votes.

Notice that only in the states of Alaska and Oklahoma: All counties were won by McCain/Palin.  

Some unreported stats about the 2008 election
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:
 
- Number of States won by: Democrats: 20; Republicans: 30

- Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000; Republicans: 2,427,000

- Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million; Republicans: 143 million

- Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2; Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens.

Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare…”

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached the “governmental dependency” phase.
