When right wing types poison-pilled Bush's amnesty bill, they didn't try to protect the current democratic makeup. They merely tried to shift the balance of new immigrants to be more conservative (more educated, more Eastern Europe, less Mexico). And again, reducing dependency on the state and radically changing the education system is hardly a matter of preserving things the way they are. Put it this way - given a choice, which would you prefer? Allow no new laws to be passed for 8 years, or give Republicans an 8 year supermajority and a mandate to make any changes they liked? If you are right that they merely want to keep things static, you should be indifferent.
