Immigrant Votes, Coming Our Way!

The crossing of Khan is only the latest indication of where the immigrant vote is going, and it's coming our way, big time. He must know that from talking to his voters, they are ready to change, after years of being ignored by the Liberals.

During the last election, I did some door knocking for my MP, I noticed the Chinese in particular were talking about switching their vote to the Conservatives. They could smell change in the air.

I was worried about Rahim Jaffer, he was faced with the University of Alberta students voting in his area. The NDP actually thought they had a chance of winning his seat. He won, thanks to his strong organization, and the immigrant vote.

So, with the Conservatives apoligizing for the Chinese head tax, rescuing the whiny Lebanese, and supporting the democracy of Israel, the immigrant voter is looking towards the Conservative party.

One of the most important reasons that immigrants will find to vote for the Conservatives is their respect for the traditional family. It's not just the $100 a month for children under 6, it's for their stand against SSM, abortion and their desire to make criminals actually pay for their crimes that will win the immigrant vote.

Too many immigrants have come from countries that oppressed them, they see the Liberals for the crooks they are, and see the Conservatives as the best alternative.

Khan knows all this, he has been consulting his people, he smells the winds of change as well.

The immigrant vote is definately coming to the Conservatives. Harper needs to keep on fighting for pro-family policies and campaign on it and he will maintain and grow his immigrant support.

Liberal is no longer the party of immigrants. They strut their arrogant chests high and proclaim they will look out for immigrant interests. From early Canada's Chinese Head Tax, to the 1990 immigrant landing fee, the Liberals are masters at their game. Hypocrisy.
