There are three BIG demographic movements here that people are ignoring when they say that conservatives need to get on 'the right side of History' and start welcoming in illegal immigration in order to have any significant share of the Hispanic vote. These proponents claim that there will be so many new Hispanic citizens from these illegals that conservatives will be a permanent minority if Conservatives "dont get with the program".
Three things are dispelling this Illegal Majority fantasy.
1. Most legal Hispanics are against illegal immigration and support Trumps pledge to remove them.
2. Robotic labor will, over the next ten to twenty years remove all need for black market labor supplied by illegal immigration, and thus illegal immigration will naturally tank as businesses buy robots instead of hiring illegals.
3. Generation Z, the next generation to join the voters of this country are overwhelmingly conservative, as some describe it, they are the most conservative generation since WW2.

With this demographic movement compounding its self-destructive use of violence and rioting, the Leftwing ideologies are facing a future mass extinction if they dont reform and start defending freedom.

Quote:
The conservative philosopher Roger Scruton was in Paris during the 1968 riots and has said that it was whilst witnessing the uprising that he became a conservative.
The violence at Berkeley mirrors the street protests in Paris from 1968. Privileged and excitable students living in one of the most blessed parts of the world went out and created havoc in order to overthrow an opponent that they refused to tolerate. The Parisians, at least, had a deeper political cause – but the Berkeley students carried out the ugliest form of protest. It is the form of protest that says “I don’t like that view, therefore you must not be allowed to express it” and it is causing a lot of students to have their own ‘Scruton moment’.
There have been several responses to campus censorship in the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the most interesting developments has been the rise in demand for conservative thought. In the United States, college tours by speakers popular with conservatives such as Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro and Christina Hoff Sommers have become huge events. There has been a spike in membership in conservative college clubs including Young Americans for Liberty, which boasts 804 chapters filled with 308,927 members.
In the United Kingdom, free speech societies have been started across the country.
‘Speakeasy’ groups have been founded at the LSE, Leeds, Queen Mary, Cardiff, Oxford, Manchester and at Edinburgh, where I study. In these groups, ‘unacceptable’ conservative thoughts are debated amongst liberally-minded (as all good conservatives are) students.
Moreover, some student unions have voted to disaffiliate from the National Union of Students (NUS).
Analysis from market research firm, The Gild, shows that ‘Gen Z’ is the most conservative generation since 1945. The research reveals that ‘Gen Z’ Britons are more likely to favour conservative spending, dislike tattoos and body-piercings, and oppose marijuana legislation.
The youth and student members of the British Left have given up trying to win arguments on principle, preferring to shut down the views of those they opponents. But ‘Gen Z’ live in the time of mass media where anyone’s political views can be shared worldwide at ease. By pushing a “you can’t say that” attitude, the young Left in the UK and the US are reducing their opportunity to respond to conservative ideas, and, as a result of this, conservatism is on the rise.
