Mickey Kaus calls them on it:
Participants in Saturday’s pro-amnesty marches are being used by the Democratic party elite, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mickey Kaus charged today.
“There is not going to be an amnesty this year, or next year. The majority of the American people don’t want it, for good reason. They want to secure the borders first,” he said. “Amnesty before we secure the borders would only encourage yet another wave of illegals and hurt the wages of unskilled Americans (and legal immigrants).”
“But every time Democratic politicians in D.C. need to rev up the Latino vote, they dangle the false promise of an amnesty bill. At some point. Latino voters are going to realize they’re being used.”
And do keep in mind that I want an amnesty bill. Not even afraid to call it that – amnesty, amnesty, amnesty! But we must secure the border, first – any proposal which does not secure the border first is either just plain and simple stupid, or a cynical political ploy.
For our Democrats, its the cynical ploy thing – Kaus is right: Democrat leaders are facing a terrible election dynamic and a dispirited base. This is just a sick means of revving them up for the fall.
The nauseating way Democrats conduct themselves just gets worse all the time. We simply must win in November if for no other reason than to just get these creepy people out of power.
UPDATE: Pro-illegal immigration donations were a bust. Only 50,000 in Los Angeles, 6,500 in New York. Heavily organized by leftist groups they still couldn’t get an impressive turn out. We got 10,000+ TEA partiers in the middle of nowhere – these guys can’t even gear up the troops where they are thickest on the ground.
This issue is a loser for the left.
