The always studious Ann Coulter has an amazing column out this
morning on the nation’s immigration issue.
Found
here in Human Events, Ann has spent some time
poring through the fine print of the election returns.
Her findings, made in studying the stats from Pew Research,
startle. They must become part of the immigration debate to come
with Republicans.
Did you know, for example, that Romney carried the youth vote?
With 54% of the vote? To Obama’s 41%?
Did you know that in fact Romney also carried, by a small
margin, what Ann calls the “Lena Dunham demographic” -– women under
30?
All true.
Here’s the problem. That 54% of the under-30 vote that Romney
got? White as a polar bear.
In fact, it was Obama who won the youth vote — and it wasn’t
because he was “offering free tuition and contraception.” It’s
because the under-thirty vote is “the knife’s edge of a demographic
shift” to young immigrants who are turned into government
dependents.
In Ann’s words: “The youth vote is a snapshot of elections to
come if nothing is done to reverse the deluge of unskilled
immigrants pouring into the country as a result of Ted Kennedy’s
1965 immigration act. Eighty-five percent of legal immigrants since
1968 have come from the Third World. A majority of them are in need
of government assistance.”
It’s a stunning, must read column — and prefigures the
immigration debate that looms ahead.
