Pat Buchanan is a paleoconservative and I disagree with much of that philosophy.  However, in this essay from Vdare he discusses the political ramifications of amnesty for illegal aliens and the current influx of legal immigrants from the third world.  It is worth your attention.

Buchanan makes a very good point when he writes:

What does government do for them [the third-world immigrants]?

Subsidizes their housing and provides free education for their kids from Head Start through K-12, plus food stamps and school lunches, Pell Grants and student loans for college, Medicaid if they are sick, earned income tax credits if they work and 99 weeks of unemployment checks if they lose their job.

These are people who depend upon government.

Why would they vote for a party that is going to cut taxes they do not pay, but take away government benefits they do receive?

Why indeed.  Read it all here.
