Who voted to bring 33 million immigrants from Mexico?

NOT ME:  Who voted to bring 33 million immigrants from Mexico?
Americans pride ourselves on being people who have a government. But these days, it more often seems as if we’ve got a government that has people.
And that government is even selecting who its people will be, having–within a generation–essentially imported a state’s worth of new people through immigration.
Since 1970, the number of “Hispanics of Mexican origin” in the U.S. has jumped from fewer than 1 million to more than 33 million. If all these Mexicans were a state, it would be the second largest in population in the country, trailing only California.
Did you vote to approve that immigration policy? Did anyone? In fact, the federal government allowed it to happen without any voter input. That’s by design.
It’s no accident. And Americans overwhelmingly believe (77%)  illegal immigration is a serious issue, and 63% still agree that the U.S. military should be used along the Mexican border to prevent illegal immigration.  And while 60% think illegal immigrants should not be allowed to vote if they can prove they live in this country and pay taxes, a shocking 53% of Democrats disagree, and think tax-paying illegal immigrants should have the right to vote.  Yep, you read that right: a majority of Democrats think illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote.  So much for the rule of law. But then again, it’s not about law; it’s about growing the ranks of voting Democrats.
