Think of it this way, TB: It's just like voter supression in reverse, except...

1) It expands the franchise, not restricts it.

2) It's legal AND constitutional.

3) It's bipartisan. Half the Gang of Eight realizes the GOP will not soon win another national election as long as they keep pissing off Latinos. The GOP needs those votes too.

4) The Tea Party in the House can always shoot it down, ensuring the Latinos will stay pissed off and the GOP will never win another national election.

BTW, your map came through OK, but the first figure in your post was "red-x'd" and did not display. Also, have you noticed that there are a lot of red states, but with the exception of TX, not too many Americans actually live there?

    - It was not about a split that I posted. It was because Graham concisely made the point that I tried to make in this thread. - alcaray - 6/24/2013 12:26:09 AM

        The ones around here seem not to have heard of such an outlandish idea. - alcaray - 6/24/2013 9:21:32 PM
        
        They can see what's happening, they just don't think about it realistically. - ER - 6/25/2013 3:15:55 AM
- It is Republicans who are pushing it. And your map explains why quite vividly. - alcaray - 6/22/2013 2:58:16 AM

      - 81 percent is estimated to be Hispanic. - TB - 6/22/2013 1:41:45 PM
    - Hint: it's not about the illegals - they don't vote. It's about the hispanic citizens that do vote. - alcaray - 6/22/2013 5:37:18 AM
      - There is virtually nothing stopping illegals from voting. - RobVG - 6/23/2013 8:00:40 PM

        After they're done in Washington, they won't be "illegal" any more. - TB - 6/23/2013 8:15:19 PM
