Tucker Carlson explains the idea of "demographic replacement" as an election strategy by the Democratic party. "It's not a conspiracy theory it's happening in public. You can watch it happen," Carlson said on Wednesday's edition of his FOX News program.



Carlson said Democrats are willing to shut down the government over DACA. They don't see immigration as a way to improve the United States, but instead as a way to transform the country to their political advantage.



"So when Democrats howl about shutting down the government because they want total surrender on DACA, remember, this is the reason why. Their political success does not depend on good policies but on demographic replacement and they'll do anything to make sure it happens," Carlson said.













TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS: It's not extreme to say that an amnesty should be limited to DREAMers and not their extended families in other countries. It's not extreme to say employers ought to follow existing federal statutes or that big city mayors should stop pretending they run their own countries. These are basic ideas. They treat existing American immigration law as real. Something that should be enforced. They assume not every single person on earth has the moral right to enter this country for any reason and go on public assistance. By the way, the public agrees with those ideas, strongly if you believe the polls on the subject.



Democrats don't believe in them. Any measure that makes it harder for immigrants to come here illegally and stay forever at public expense is racist and immoral. They've said that repeatedly. Why do they think that? Is there some good reason to think that? Is there any economist on the planet who believes the key to thriving in a high tech economy is importing millions of poor people with fifth-grade educations who don't speak English? Is that good for your country? Of course not. But Democrats don't see immigration as a way to improve the United States but, instead, as a way to transform the country to their political advantage.



There is no precedent for this attitude in American politics. It's never happened. Traditionally, politicians try to win votes by improving the lives of voters. It's pretty simple, it's been going on for a long time. Herbert Hoover, a chicken in every pot, a car in every garage that was his promise during the 1928 campaign, he won. Because voters appreciate it. They always do appreciate it if they think you are trying to help them.



Bill Clinton got elected twice because he campaigned on actual tangible concerns of actual people, middle class people. That all seems like ancient history. Democrats don't do that anymore. Moderate Democrats understand that changing the minds of voters is hard. Especially when you despise them and attack them for the sin of, I don't know, being white or male or privileged or heteronormative or whatever. They don't like you if you don't like them. So, you don't bother changing their minds. You change the voters themselves...



Democrats know if they keep up the flood of illegals into the country they can eventually turn it into a flood of voters for them. They don't have to foster economic growth or be capable administrators or provide good government. They just have to keep the pump flowing and the power will be theirs. It's not a conspiracy theory it's happening in public. You can watch it happen.



So when Democrats howl about shutting down the government because they want total surrender on DACA, remember, this is the reason why. Their political success does not depend on good policies but on demographic replacement and they'll do anything to make sure it happens.



And one more thing by the way. In the interest of nonpartisan fairness and honesty which we believe in, it's not just Democrats who believe in protecting illegal immigrants at all cost. Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, he is retiring but he is still a Republican. He agreed to support the GOP tax plan in return for the promise of an amnesty deal. You thought the tax plan was about cutting your taxes or making our economy stronger, doing something for this country. But for Jeff Flake, and likely for other Republicans on Capitol Hill, I hate to say it, but it's true, the real priority was making sure that not a single illegal was ever deported because that's what they really care about.
