House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the United States must not suppress the vote of newly arrived legal immigrants — including those foreign nationals who arrive en masse at the U.S.-Mexico border.
During a press conference in Austin, Texas this week, Pelosi admitted that the goal for the country’s mass illegal and legal immigration system is to ensure the more than 1.5 million new arrivals who come to the U.S. every year are on the voter rolls.
Pelosi added that it is immigrants, not American citizens, who make the nation “more American.”
When we talk about newcomers, we have to recognize the constant reinvigoration of America that they are, that we all have been – our families. And that, unless you’re blessed to be Native American – which is a blessing in itself that we respect – but that constant reinvigoration of hope, determination, optimism, courage, to make the future better for the next generation, those are American traits. [Emphasis added]
And these newcomers make America more American. And we want them, when they come here, to be fully part of our system. And that means not suppressing the vote of our newcomers to America. [Emphasis added]
The “newcomers” who should be fully able to participate in voting, Pelosi said, include the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and border crossers who arrive at the southern border every year.
“We, in California, see people coming from a different direction, but the same welcome. You see them coming, many from the south, southern border, but should be the same welcome,” Pelosi said.
“[President Reagan] went on to say, though, after talking about the Statue of Liberty: ‘The vital force of America’s preeminence in the world is every new generation of immigrants who come to our country. And when America fails to recognize that as our vital force, America will fail to be preeminent in the world’ — preeminent in the world,” she continued.
At the current rate, the country’s legal immigration system — which admits more than 1.2 million mostly low-skilled foreign nationals a year — is set to hand Democrats nationwide electoral dominance in national elections.
In the 2020 presidential election, the Pew Research Center predicts that about 1-in-10 U.S. voters will be foreign-born residents — a statistic that vastly favors Democrats.

Democrats would win major victories politically from increased legal immigration levels, research finds. The latest analysis by The Atlantic senior editor Ronald Brownstein revealed that nearly 90 percent of House congressional districts with a foreign-born population above the national average were won by Democrats.
This means that every congressional district with a foreign-born population exceeding roughly 14 percent had a 90 percent chance of being controlled by Democrats and only a ten percent chance of electing a Republican.
Similarly, less than one-in-ten House Republicans represent a congressional district that has a foreign-born population larger than 14 percent. Entire states, driven by legal immigration, have been transformed electorally, Brownstein’s analysis found.
For instance, Republicans hold about 30 Senate seats in the 20 U.S. states with the smallest foreign-born populations. Meanwhile, Democrats control 32 Senate seats in the 20 U.S. states with the largest share of foreign-born residents. Democrats are expected to target those remaining Republican Senate seats in states with large foreign-born populations in the 2020 election.
The New York Times and Axios admit that legal immigration at its current rate will continue shifting the American electorate more towards Democrat control.
The 2016 presidential election between then-candidate Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton revealed a similar trend.
For example, among native-born Americans, Trump won 49 percent to Clinton’s 45 percent, according to exit polling data. Among foreign-born residents, Clinton dominated against Trump, garnering 64 percent of the immigrant population’s vote compared to Trump’s mere 31 percent.
Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.2 legal immigrants annually, with the vast majority deriving from chain migration, whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million.
The U.S. is on track to import about 15 million new foreign-born voters in the next two decades should current legal immigration levels continue. Those 15 million new foreign-born voters include about eight million who will arrive in the country through chain migration, where newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country.
University of Maryland, College Park researcher James Gimpel has found in recent years that more immigrants to the U.S. inevitably means more Democrat voters and thus, increasing electoral victories for the Democrat Party.

A really high wall is needed…like right now!
Even a tight Cordon Sanitaire executed by the military would do, but Nan Pelosi and her fellow Kommukrats won’t let The Man From Queens (TM) have one, let alone a big wall.
I would like to know what law would permit this obviously confused old woman to be relieved from her critical, important position as Speaker of The House.
Does anyone know? A constitutional scholar? Anybody here at TPB?
The defense of the country, which starts at the border, not Somalia, Afghanistan or Iraq, is the A-number-one fucking job of the government. If they can’t do that then they are not needed.
The Law of Common Sense and 30-06.
“…these newcomers make America more American.”
It is a fools game to look for logic in rhetoric, but since she’s set it up so nicely.
If they are more American than Americans, why do they need to come here? Why don’t they make more Americas where they are?
I’ll be in the back of the room.
This incensed me earlier today. It only proves that the Democrats favor illegal alien entry in large numbers while later opposing the enforcement of laws (“Abolish ICE” and those pathetic leftist chants such as “no borders no nations f**k deportations!” and their support of DACA) because all these illegal aliens will ultimately turn into voters for the Democratic Party.
Thankfully the Senate is still in GOP hands and President Trump would veto any such bill.
And all the nonwhite liberals who support this need to understand that it is things like this (along with affirmative action and the horrible double-standard against whites) that is augmenting the very thing these nonwhite liberals say they’re fighting to end: racism. The alt-right’s numbers have increased over the past few years because of leftist ideology that blames whites for all sorts of ills.
I feel we are currently living in bizarro world, “illegals make America more American” so it should be legal for illegals to vote. Okay. Next up lets lower the voting age to 16 ‘so our youth has a place at the table’. Okay. What the hell are the Democrats going to try next to stack the voter deck. This shit is exhausting.
Not to them.
*quietly knots noose*
Yep, treason. Too many to hang though. Line them up. It’s gonna take bullets.
Well Nancy does run the country now, so who are we to disagree with her. Where is our President to whimper out a few tweets?
but what about the new brown girls in town-don’t they count for something?
This American considers re registering for a voting card. I doubt the vote of one restored-right felon would make a difference. I wonder how new voting felons in Florida would break down by affiliation?
“One of the assumptions about those people whose vote had been removed due to convictions is that they broke heavily Democrat. An analysis by two Florida newspapers published Nov. 2 confirmed that, using voter registration data. About 52% had registered as Democrats and 14% as Republicans. The remaining 33% were independents. The Florida-wide split among all voters is 37% to 35% registered Democrat to Republican.”
The link says between 1.1 million to 1.4 m estimated.
“The Brennan Center for Justice said that in the previous clemency system, of the people with a felony crime on their record who received voting rights restoration, only 14% went on to register. Of that 14%, they voted 75% less than the statewide average of all registered voters.”
more slightly dated arcane facts here:

Howabout charging/convicting illegal immagrants with a felony, hence abrogating their voting right?
She’d never make that statement if immigrants (illegal or legal) voted Republican, which they do not. Trump is the last supposed Republican president. The left has so rigged the game with unfettered immigration that you’ll never see another Republican president in our lifetimes, but we will most certainly continue witnessing the death throes of the republic. Truthfully, ALL immigration should be restricted into the U.S., legal and illegal. The people coming here say they want a “better life” and then proceed to make it the same hellhole they escaped–sort of like what Californians are doing to Nevada and Colorado right now. Once conservative-to-libertarian minded people realize they are never going to “win” an election again, they aren’t going to stand for being ruled over by the “transectional coalition” on the left. I suspect that once that happens the millions of guns in this country are going to come out and I fear (just as many of us “Doom Porn” peeps think) it won’t be pretty.

She’s been in office just a few months and I already despise her. Wretched Shitsmore. DemoRAT.
Per that link, Ionia gets screwed.
Road fix? More taxation.
Panderer.
Steer Michigan smart, not into a ditch, bitch.
State governors should not be making decisions based on thwarting the U.S. President.
Under the guise of ‘for the kids’, the education system skim-scam will bloat, via more taxation.
Yeah. Throw more stolen money at every pet cause. That will help us.
Pissed me off. Fuckin jerk. Got on my nerves. Here comes Wretched, with a fucked up plan, got my wallet in her hand, it’s a fucked up rodeo. It’s a Michiganders left and woman voters right. Come on ya fuckin dummy get priorities right. Goddamn rude, ya know?
Remember when Democrats fought against illegal immigration because it harmed the unions? It wasn’t that long ago. You’d think Trump would be taking his strongest actions to secure the white working people vote, the blue dog Democrats of yesterday, but instead he’s promoting globo-homo and fighting antisemitism.
And, now, suddenly … I — a privileged old Boomer white man and deplorable fucker — am turned into a VOTER, again.
They say votes don’t matter. I, myself, have said that when you vote — you vote for your own demise. But, if votes don’t matter — then why court the illegal masses who aren’t even citizens?
Looks like I must pull the lever again for the Golden Gollum of Greatness.
Arrest her for Sedition in violation of her Oath … Like Now.
A wall would be a great symbol but agressive enforcement of the law is needed. Criminalizing employment of illegals and criminalizing illegal entry would be helpful. It won’ t happen because 80% of the Republicans area Democrats.
Viva !!! Undocumented citizens!
Next up: Imaginary voters must not have their imaginary voices silenced; Nancy and Chuck will vote on their behalf, because reasons.
What do you expect from a Claifornication cocksucker that waits at the border to give welcome blow jobs to new people crossing and signing up for the Deamoncrats?
Toxic femininity.
Is she stoned or just stupid?
Past immigrants cherished the “naturalization” process and celebrated the day when they became legal, voting citizens of the United States. Does she NOT have a clue how many of those people remain alive, cognizant, and active in politics in this country?
I think zhe just fuckteded up
Among’st other subjects to be considered at the futureArticle V Convention of States should be what states should be excluded from the Union if the states (38 of them) decide to retain the current Republican system as a workable (repairable) system of government. California, Illinois and New York would likely be top contenders to be sent on their way if 38 states legislatures deem it to be so in a Constitutional amendment. On the other hand, they might decide to abolish the federal government entirely and go back to a confederacy of closely linked sovereign states managing all governance within their own borders.
That’s pretty close to Propertarianism.
Democrats better wake the fuck up!
You gotta admit she is full of shit !
My grandfather came to the US at 16 waited on Ellis Island to clear immigration and a health check up and then was released to a previously arrived and established cousin assuring his presence was to pursue the elusive American Dream
That is not what is going on with this illegal invasion from our southern border .
My grandfather established himself started a business , managed that and bought another in trouble modernized it and successfully educated his children and provided his grandchildren to pursue their vision of the American Dream .
Scurrying Accross our border to pop out a kid (anchor baby) for the purpose to establish one self on the welfare line and increase the ranks of the free shit army is an insult to my families legacy as Americans
My grandfather served in the coast guard reserve in WW2 and assisted patrolling the Chesapeake Bay due to his age at the time but he was there and volunteered
Eat Shit Pelosi
