Until now, I honestly had not considered the electoral angle of why the democrats were promoting our open border but it does make sense to me now.
If Hispanic immigrants would boost the Democrat party, why isn't Texas a blue state?
It's not you know.
Which makes your premise here kinda hilarious.

It has nothing to do with how they individually vote. This has to do with census numbers and the amount of proportional congressional seats and electoral votes the state gets. So the sanctuary states (which are always blue) taking in all these people get more seats and electoral votes regardless whether or not these illegals even make it to vote. Even if the illegals could vote and they voted red, their merely being part of the census helps a blue state appear larger than it is.
So, like I said, the problem is that Republican's brainless anti-immigration stance screws them over. They could lighten their idiotic policy on immigration and easily won back control of the Congressional houses, but they won't because their voters are terrified of Mexicans. Yes? I guarantee you Californua would be a purple state if Repiblicans weren't going overboard to try and alienate every immigrant community against them. It isn't love of gay people, targeted military interventions, food safety regulations, or ths federal reserve that keeps the Hispanic vote blue.
