"Many conservatives believe that the key question in this election is: Are there to be two multiculturalist open-borders parties or one? … Any bill similar to the senator’s “comprehensive” immigration reform would accelerate the GOP’s relative demographic decline by creating new voters overwhelmingly likely to vote Democrat in a quicker time scale. This dominant Democratic majority would emerge fully only after a hypothetical President McCain left office, but its approach would cloud the future of every other Republican incumbent," – John O’Sullivan.
Is John saying that conservatism is an inherently racial or cultural phenomenon that future Hispanic-Americans will be unable to support? I don’t see why that should be the case. The United States, meanwhile, is a multi-cultural nation, in case John hasn’t noticed. That’s part of its strength. And neither party favors "open borders" by any stretch of the imagination. There is a pessimism bordering on despair among conservatives right now that is as vexing as it is self-defeating. It does not bode well for a potential McCain presidency.
