Chuck Schumer salivates over ‘civil rights’ uprisings should immigration fail



This weekend, Chuck Schumer made the Sunday show / news network rounds in an effort to promote the "gang of Eight" immigration package. During his stop on CNN's "State of the Union," he argued that if the Republicans manage to defeat the bill, the GOP will be faced with a massive outpouring of anger. He was practically giddy.
"This has the potential of becoming the next major civil rights movement," Schumer said. "I could envision in the late summer or early fall if Boehner tries to bottle the bill up or put something in without a path to citizenship -- if there's no path to citizenship, there's not a bill -- but if he tries to bottle it up or do things like that, I could see a million people on the Mall in Washington." This, of course, is exactly what the Dems want. Democrats have proven, time and again, that they couldn't possibly care less about your "civil rights." They've trampled the First, Second, Fourth, and Tenth Amendments so often that they now exist in a mostly theoretical fashion. Yet we're supposed to believe that, when it comes to 12 million illegals, "rights" are their primary concern?

Sorry, but no. Schumer, and his allies on the left, are positively drooling over the notion that their immigration plans could go down in flames. Sure, they'll be happy if it passes. They'd get roughly 10 million new Democrat voters and that's nothing to sneeze at. Still, they've already proven that they're capable of winning without them. So passing a set of "reforms" they haven't even read is not the political be-all-and-end-all that some have made it out to be. If 2012 proved anything, it's that the DNC is masterful when it comes to creating manufactured outrage. Obama's re-election hinged on a combination of two things - the promise of an expanded welfare state, and the ginned-up perception that evil, rich, white, Republicans hate minorities. They played their race cards perfectly, and they dragged their candidate across the finish line. So, when Schumer threatens predicts massive demonstrations if the immigration bill stalls or fails, what he's really saying is that, if it doesn't become law, his party will have a massive wedge issue to exploit during the 2014 midterms and the 2016 election. The rallying cry will be that good, god-fearing, Democrats wanted to give citizenship to the poor, downtrodden, illegals but the racist bastards on the right stopped them. Even if it fails to get enough Democrat votes in the Senate, that will still be the narrative going forward. Reality won't matter, since the media will dutifully report the lie. This is the endgame they've been after all along and it's coming together exactly as planned. Republicans like McCain, Graham, and Rubio are complicit in its creation, while the rest of the GOP seems completely incapable of countering. As usual, the Republicans have been outplayed.
