“Before immigration debates took place in Washington, I spoke with Eliseo Medina and SEIU members,” said former President Barack Obama addressing the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) at a campaign stop for his 2008 presidential campaign.

Eliseo Medina, Obama’s informal immigration adviser, has dedicated his life to obtaining citizenship and voting rights for America’s illegal aliens—now at an estimated 22 million—with the expressed goal of transforming the United States into a one-party state.

Medina failed to mention the plight of illegal aliens, focusing instead on how—if given amnesty—they would eventually vote for Democrats.

Speaking of Latino voting patterns in the 2008 election, Medina said:

“When they [Latinos] voted in November, they voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up.

“So, I think there’s two things that matter for the progressive community:

“Number one: If we are to expand this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to solidly be on the side of [illegal] immigrants. That will solidify and expand the progressive coalition for the future …

“Number two: [If] we reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters. Can you imagine if we have—even the same ratio—two out of three?

“If we have 8 million new voters … we will create a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle.”

Medina’s “governing coalition” refers to Democrats having control of the federal government for the foreseeable future, “not just for an election cycle.”
