These policies discriminate based on origin because 80% of illegal aliens are from Latin America, yet Latin Americans represent only 8% of the world’s population. This means Latin Americans benefit from illegal migration and amnesty for illegal aliens at a rate 30 times greater than non-Latin Americans.

Amazingly, this is the same party that in 1965 changed US immigration law to "end immigration discrimination"! In 1963 President Kennedy submitted legislation that would become the 1965 Immigration Reform Act, explaining that it was for:

The "Elimination of Discrimination Based on National Origins



The use of a national origins system is without basis in either logic or reason. ..... such a system is an anachronism, for it discriminates among applicants for admission into the United States on the basis of accident of birth."



President Kennedy also said:



"natives of no one country should receive over 10 percent of the total quota Numbers authorized in any one year. This will insure that the pattern of immigration is not distorted by excessive demand from any one country."



Unfortunately although President Kennedy's legislation was enacted into law, immigration discrimination has not ended, only the countries involved have changed. Mexicans account for about 32% of recent US legal immigrants and legalized illegal aliens and 80% of illegal aliens. Other Latin American countries also have high percentages compared to their world population percentage. These percentages are so high because of past illegal alien amnesties and continued allowance of illegal migration. If another illegal alien amnesty was passed, these percentages for Mexico and other Latin American countries would further increase. The Heritage Foundation has estimated that if the current 30 million (number from research by Bear and Stearns, the Heritage Foundation and the California for Immigration Stabilization) illegal aliens in the country now are given amnesty, that with family unification the number would grow to 100 million in the coming decades!

While Democrats claim their amnesty schemes send illegal aliens to the back of the immigration line, nothing could be further from the truth. You see, illegal aliens are ALREADY at the front of the line.

Compared to legal immigrants waiting for a visa overseas, most illegal aliens have a United States based paying job, access to US health care and education, plus their babies are granted automatic U.S. Citizenship and all its benefits. The only way for illegal aliens to be at the back of the immigrant visa line is for them to return to their country of origin and apply at the US Embassy there like everyone else in the world does including law abiding citizens of their own countries.

It should also be noted that the Democratic Party ignores the problems created for legal immigrants by illegal alien amnesties. Past amnesties for illegal aliens have almost tripled the waiting times for family unification of legal immigrants. Since the waiting times are now many years long, every year thousands of legal immigrants die while waiting for their green cards overseas, without ever having stepped foot in the USA.

So why does the Democratic Party support this discrimination?

It supports discrimination because it is an easy way for them to replace some of their current constituents who are not reproducing, groups such as gays; and radical feminists who have very low birthrates.

Poor, unhealthy and illiterate illegal aliens who receive amnesty are more likely to become Democratic constituents as they would require many government assistance programs. Increasing legal immigration is not as beneficial for the Democratic Party as illegal immigration and amnesty because it would not swell their numbers as massively or as quickly as granting amnesty to 30 million illegal aliens already here. Whereas legal immigration is about 1.2 million per year, illegal immigration has been estimated to be about 2 to 2.5 million annually by Bear and Stearns. Unlike the illegal aliens that would typically lean towards the Democratic Party, legal immigrants are, as demonstrated by their respect of our borders and laws, law abiding and far more self-reliant and less likely to come to depend on tax paid social assistance.

All political parties have from time to time supported discriminatory immigration policies however in our era it is clear the Democratic Party does not support equal opportunity immigration, and by supporting amnesty, the Dream Act, the Ag Bill (Agriculture cheap labor guest worker programs); and open borders in general, it shows they supports immigration discrimination as vigorously as ever.

Poll after poll indicates that a super majority exceeding 70% opposes amnesty in any form. Twice in one year the Democratic Party and handful of Republicans in the Senate introduced amnesty bills but both times they failed to gain support due to massive opposition from their constituencies. Since corporate employers of millions of illegal aliens continue to weigh in with their lobbying and influencing of our elected officials we are now seeing a new approach – piece meal amnesty instead of general amnesty.

One such bill on the floor just now is Senate Bill 2205, the so called Dream Act. The strategy from the Democratic Party appears to be to break the dam one stone at a time until 30 million or more illegal aliens break loose in the end.

Just now New York state governor Eliot Spitzer has received a huge figurative slap in the face. Gov. Spitzer degraded the security of the New York state driver’s license by ordering through an Executive Order (devoid of public or legislative input) an order which could potentially allow up to a million illegal aliens in the state to vote Democrat in coming elections. This is made possible by the 1993 Motor Voter Act which allows any illegal alien who gets a driver’s license to vote without proof of United States citizenship. The problem is that 72% of the New Yorkers, in the latest poll, oppose the governor’s maneuver to secure hundreds of thousands of ILLEGAL votes in coming elections. Ironically, the Democrat elected representative and the Party in New York that stand to gain the most from this illegal voting has turned against the Governor Eliot Spitzer with a fury. Why, the Party fears the backlash from the public from the Governor’s discriminatory immigration policy and the dishonest and illegal manner in which he attempted to gain votes for the Democrats. It is very dangerous at this time to continue the Democrat policy of discrimination in immigration policy, the public simply will not stand for it any more.

So not only does the Democratic Party support discrimination, they also support rewarding law breakers and penalizing the law abiding foreigners in order to increase their constituency. Talk about a culture of corruption and hypocrisy!
