Buchanan on GOP Immigration Push: ‘Republican Party Is Indeed Going the Way of the Whigs’

On Newsmax TV’s “America’s Forum” on Monday, conservative commentator Pat Buchanan offer a pessimistic outlook for the Republican Party going forward, especially as they seem to embrace measure that would open the gateway for more low-cost immigrant labor to enter the United States.

“In off-year elections where the turnout is not heavy and the Republicans have done an outstanding job of, if you will, gerrymandering the country to their own benefit, I think they’ll do well,” Buchanan said. “But at the presidential level where you’ve got the million new immigrants coming in legally every year and an untold number coming in illegally, I think in most of them for minorities who vote for 70 percent Democratic, I think there’s an inevitability that the Republican Party is indeed going the way of the Whigs and at the presidential level, after around 2020 it becomes virtually impossible to win the presidency of the United States in the absence of some kind of cataclysm.”
