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

In a way, I understand Bush’s and Rove’s thinking.

Bush did respectably well with Latino voters during his time as Governor.

In some ways, Latino voters have enough in common (work ethic, social conservatism, etc) with the GOP that they could become part of the party base.

OTOH, I’m often reminded of my ex-girlfriend’s dad, a blue-collar labor guy fron northern Minnesota.

Pro-Life. Worked hard. Was opposed to easy welfare give-aways. Liked guns and going hunting. Believed in personal responsibility.

A GOP voter, right? No, he was a life-long Democrat.

I use him as an example because even though a certain group of the electorate may espouse GOP values, they’re gonna go ahead and vote Democrat in the next election.

I believe that’s the way it will always be with Hispanics - no matter how much we reach out to them.

That has been a puzzle to me through this whole mess. I haven’t seen ONE poll that gives Pubbies the vote in Hispanic surveys. I don’t get it. Even in companies where the jefe stands up and tells them how to vote they don’t R.

They got to get legal and registered before we count them.

I know many Hispanics that are appalled at the US policy of giving away citizenship to people who went to the USA using false I.D, and turning away droves of decent Mexican citizens who had wanted to go to the USA for vacations, paid $110 for an interview that lasts 8 seconds, and not ever got to see a smile, or a HOWDY, how are you. Don’t be too quick to bag all of the Hispanics in the Democratic camp.

Higher when they are eligible for welfare, affirmative action, govt jobs, etc. That willingness to work hard for little money will disappear real fast once they have a choice

Notice how this was a Republican killed bill. No mention of the 15 Democrats who voted it down.

Or the Unions that were against this.

And I'd say more like 90-10% democRAT. They aren't here for the work - they're here for the free medical care, free schooling, and any other taxpayer-funded bennies that they can gain. Work is merely for spending money and for something to send back home.

The WSJ cleverly forgets the real cost of illegals while whining on and on about the price of lettuce and getting ones' lawn mowed.
