Rauner pandering to Latino immigrants in Chicago |
Rauner did that in a pandering op ed published in the HOY, Spanish language Chicago newspaper.
Not only did he come out for granting amnesty to illegal aliens, but he also trashed Republicans for opposing it:
"...some Republicans are downright hostile to immigrants, failing to recognize that America’s past, present, and future would not be nearly as bright and prosperous without our culture and heritage of immigration."
Rauner also repeated the mythological hogwash that Obama's administration has been deporting illegal aliens at a record rate. Even the LA Times exposed the fact that Obama & Co. had cooked the books on deportations, counting turnarounds at the border as "deportations."
But, no doubt spurred on by his lefty establishment GOP campaign operatives, Rauner blathered out that little bit of Democrat propaganda.
As we reported several weeks ago, Bruce Rauner and his lefty Jewish wife, Diana, have been big financial contributors to the open borders, pro amnesty immigration lobby group, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.
So make no mistake about it. Bruce Rauner is an open borders, pro amnesty, cheap labor immigration pimp.
The good news is that increasing numbers of voters on the rightward edges of both parties are getting wise to Rauner's "liberal in drag" persona.
Many are going to simply stay at home on election day.
Some will throw away their Gubernatorial vote on the Libertarian Governor candidate, Chad Grimm, who's now polling 6% in statewide polls.

And some of the aggrieved right to lifers and family values voters are even talking about casting a strategic vote for Democrat Pat Quinn. That recently ignited a huge controversy in the Illinois Review.
What is becoming clear, is that Bruce Rauner's pandering better get him lots of Latino voters legal and otherwise.
With conservatives deserting Rauner in droves, he's going to need his amigos down in Pilsen and Little Village voting early and often.
