"Every election has winners and losers, and Mexico's is no exception.
While the press is making much of Mexico's centrist PRI and center-right PAN parties being the big losers in last night's election of socialist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in Mexico, the real loser is actually up north, in the U.S. Democratic Party.
Sounds strange, until you look at the details.
After all the ideological compatibility between AMLO's new lefty MORENA party and the increasingly socialist U.S. Democrats seems to be identical.
Both favor heavy social spending, forced unionization of workers, political patronage, Chicago-style political muscle, and fealty to the ideals of the Socialist International.
It's what most socialists do, until they run out of Other People's Money.
Democrats have staked their future on uneducated, needy illegals forming the base of their party's fortunes.
In Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has done the same thing.
The problem comes because the Mexicans in question are the same people.
AMLO's social spending policies are likely to draw Mexicans illegally here in the U.S. quite likely back to Mexico.
If you have a choice of taking welfare benefits here, or welfare benefits there, it's very likely you'll go for them in your home country, where the language is the same, the Migra isn't out looking for you, and you know your way around the culture.
That's bad news for the Democrats..."
