What kinds of immigrants are likely to vote that way? The General Social Survey asked people which candidate they voted for in 2012. I looked at immigrants to see what predicted voting for Romney over Obama (sample size = 192). I looked at sex, age, race, education, IQ, income, religion, and religious attendance. Only two factors were statistically significant: being white and religious. Immigrants who are white and go to church often are more likely to have voted for Romney, and being white was the more important predictor.
So if the GOP wants a future, they had better stop the mass immigration of nonwhites and the irreligious.
UPDATE: 62.5% of white immigrants who attend church more than once a week voted for Romney. By contrast, 96.3% of black immigrants and 75.0% of other non-white immigrants voted for Obama.
It would suffice if immigrants who vote would simply abide by their citizenship oaths to uphold the Constitution rather than voting overwhelmingly for ever greater centralization of social policy in direct contravention of the 10th Amendment thereby guaranteeing they will be either exiled or killed in a civil war to restore the Constitution.
