WITH nearly six million Mexicans living illegally in the United States, some Americans, particularly those in border states, are greatly worried about the costs of illegal immigration and have demanded that more be done to stem it. Modern-day "minutemen" patrol the border. Voters pass measures limiting the rights of illegal immigrants, and senators debate legislation to establish guest-worker programs. Certain elected officials and pundits focus on the perils of illegal immigration to score political points.
But chances are that there will be a substantial decrease in illegal immigration from Mexico in the next 20 years, and it won't be because of civilian border patrols, laws being passed, pronouncements by politicians, or as some would like, "building a wall on the border." Instead, the cause will be demographic trends within Mexico itself, trends that have been largely ignored in the debate over immigration.
Matthew Dowd, who was the chief strategist for the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign, is the senior adviser to the Republican National Committee.
This article would be funny if it weren't so believable. It makes clear that just about everyone in the RNC is a corrupted liar. Anyone who knows anything about illegal immigration knows that in the past ten years, the primary migration has shifted from Mexicans to Central Americans and South Americans although Mexicans from poor villages with few job skills are still coming. Adding to the numbers are China and poor SE Asian countries. But this butthead wants us to believe that illegal immigration is nearly over so the RNC doesn't have to do anything about the issue and hurt their election chances with Latinos.
These people are so arrogant in their criminal behavior that its scary. And Harris calls the terrorists cockroaches.
