Limbaugh lets it slip: deporting Dreamers is about **voter suppression**

It's been obvious for a bit now that voter suppression is a critical part of the GOP push to deport the Dreamers.

The GOP has two camps on immigration: First, the hard-core racist nativists like Stephen Miller, Bannon, and Roy Moore. And second -- and this group cares just as much as the first -- is the GOP establishment that needs to suppress votes to win. That second group includes Ryan, McConnell, Trump, Kobach, von Spatovsky, and the GOP donor billionaires - from the Koches on down. This is a Democratic-majority country and the GOP knows they need voter suppression to win. They'll stop at nothing for political power, and if that means kicking out the Dreamers, they'll do it.

That second group, the vote-suppressors, is the real reason that Congress can't vote to find a solution for the dreamers. The GOP as a whole wants to deport the dreamers -- but they want to lie about the reason why, and blame the Dems.

And Rush Limbaugh just let that voter suppression reason out of the bag. Watch:






".@rushlimbaugh on @FoxNewsSunday : "I would be willing right here to support an effort to grant permanent citizenship to whatever number of illegal immigrants there are in the country, tomorrow, if you will make as part of the deal they can’t vote for 15-25 years." @FoxNews"


It's all about voter suppression and power over country. The GOP will kick these American kids out of the country just because they mostly vote for Democrats.

That being said, deportation is not necessary to keep them from voting as they are not citizens and do not have that right.
