As the national debate over immigration reform heats up, Republicans who believe that there are political benefits in passing new legislation might consider what Democrats believe about their own political advantages.
For years, Democrat strategists such as convicted felon Robert Creamer--a key organizer in Chicago, closely connected to the circle around Barack Obama--have openly proclaimed the electoral advantages of immigration reform for their own party.From a federal prison camp in 2006, Creamer--pictured above, at a 2009 state dinner with spouse Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)--began writing his plan for a future “progressive” administration. The book that emerged, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win, was effusively praised by many of Barack Obama’s key staffers and supporters. Chief political strategist David Axelrod, for example, called it “a blueprint for future victories.”
In December 2009, Breitbart News exposed how Creamer’s political plan called for a future
“progressive” administration to push for universal health care in its first year
in office. The plan--which called for attacking the health insurance industry,
among other steps--closely mirrored the actions that the Obama administration
and its campaign arm actually took in the contentious battles throughout 2009
and the early months of 2010.
Universal health care was to be only the first in a series of steps in what
Creamer called the “battle over the distribution of income, and control of
wealth in the United States.” The first radical changes--such as health care
reform--would make each subsequent transformation more politically feasible. One
of the most critical steps was to be comprehensive immigration reform, which
Creamer described in naked partisan terms: If Democrats continue to stand unequivocally with Hispanics and recent immigrants, it will benefit the party for years to come...
To neutralize [a] backlash, we need to reframe the battle for immigration reform as a campaign for an "Earned Path to Citizenship"...
