And the WSJ’s analysis that most Hispanic voters will go GOP is dead wrong. Most surveys say 70-30 Democratic among illegals

I don’t see how this could be anything other than wishful thinking on the part of the MSM when the polls said that legal immigrants opposed illegal immigration at the same percentages as citizens who were born here.

Country before party. WSJ version: cheap labor before either.

Of course, if they went back to their home countries, the hispanic vote wouldn’t be increasing.

Seems on first glance that this article is based on fallacy and poor categorization and may be ignored.

"But for whoever wins the Republican nomination, the path to the White House has almost certainly grown steeper."77% of Americans opposed the immigration bill, according Rasmussen. I fail to see how following the will of the American people translates to a steeper hill. I'm not convinced that a lot of hispanic voters aren't illegal themselves. The next immigration bill, which should clamp down on borders and employers, should also clamp down on illegal voter fraud.

Excuse me but these people are here illegally and are not supposed to be voting. If I still took the WSJ, I would cancel it but I already cancelled it!
With so many people opposed to illegal immigration, how could it hurt our candidate? I would think it would hurt the Dems since their candidates voted for the bill.

I have no problem with LEGAL Mexicans...and I’ve spent more than a few vacations in Mexico so it isn’t that I don’t like Mexicans. I just don’t want to be invaded...nobody wants uninvited guests who feel they have a right to everything you have.
I wish they’d quit the Republicans are bigots stuff - sort of surprised to see it from WSJ.

That echoes what they heard from California Gov. Pete Wilson in 1994, which benefited Mr. Wilson in the short term but has damaged the party in the Golden State ever since. If the Government had enforced the 1986 Immigration Bill, California wouldn't be in a mess today, and the Republicans would still be in control.
A majority of Californians voted for the Law, a single Judge blocked it.

And those voters have now heard loud expressions of alarm from the Republican right about their presence in the U.S. That echoes what they heard from California Gov. Pete Wilson in 1994, which benefited Mr. Wilson in the short term but has damaged the party in the Golden State ever since.The WSJ is wrong to compare what happened in CA to what will happen in the country. CA is not America, America is not CA.
In fact, CA is one of the most anti-American places on Earth.
CA is a trendsetter only in its own mind.

Now is not the time to let up. We need to pressure our politicians to enforce the existing immigration laws including deporting illegal aliens, building the fence and prosecuting businesses who do business with illegal aliens. The link below is a ping list to pay attention for other questionable legislation being considered in Congress.

Hispanics represent the fastest-growing chunk of the U.S. electorate. Not so important if they aren't handed citizenship. Why do they think they are growing so fast? Those born in the US tend to have family sizes in line with US norms.

How would the voting demographics change if the GOP decided tomorrow to open the border giving free reign to the Mexican invasion, and make Spanish the official language?

>> political strategy around honoring Hispanics’ aspirations and courting their support
Racial pandering is racism. And as tied to the immigration fiasco, the implication is that the Hispanic Citizen is indifferent to the immigration concerns of non-Hispanics.
