CLAYTON CRAMER: John Boehner Working Hard To Create The Permanent Democratic Majority.

The permanent legal status “but not citizenship” will last right until the Democrats regain control of Congress.  And that won’t take long, as large numbers of Americans (including many Democrats who are out of work) decide that there is no point in voting, because the only choice is between a party that brings in low wage workers to take away your job, and a party that brings them in to take away your job and give them voting rights. . . .

There is a real opportunity for Republicans to deliver a devastating blow to the Democrats.  Run ads through this election campaign emphasizing that the poorest working Americans have the most to lose from amnesty for illegals — that Obama represents corporations trying to get everyone crushed down to minimum wage.  But too many Republicans like Boehner represent those same big corporations that control the Democratic Party.
