Coming next: the Backlash to the Backlash
Is there a backlash developing in the illegal immigration issue? I think not – most people were never in favor of illegal immigrants being on equal footing with legal immigrants and citizens. It’s just taking this long for that viewpoint to percolate into the media’s consciousness. Nevertheless, the Washington Post has spotted this latest development and gives us a quick overview in Wednesday’s paper: After Protests, Backlash Grows
Of course in Washington, it’s all about the votes and one consultant remains unfazed:
“Whether the anger expressed by some Americans will translate into votes in November is anybody's guess. Fred Yang, a Democratic consultant in Washington, guessed that it will not.
"This is going to be like a tug of war," he said. "I think Republicans are trying to exploit voter concerns about immigration. It's not a winning strategy. I think voters are more concerned about health-care costs, the cost of higher education and gasoline and energy than immigration."
Mr. Yang then went on to describe the Democratic plan for addressing “..health-care costs, the cost of higher education and gasoline and energy..”
Ha! Of course, I’m kidding – there is no such plan….I wonder if he was consulting for any of the incumbents in Herndon? Maryland Conservatarian: Because illegals can't vote...yet
