They have enough problems already, but a poll released Monday is sure to give anti-immigration extremists and Republican leaders plenty more to fret about.

actually they said it was “numero uno”
We’re number one! We’re number one!
You shouldn’t fight a battle you can’t win. 80% of hispanics are going to end up in the Democratic camp no matter what the Republicans do.
The Republicans need to focus on groups they can attract: Asians and Indians (not native americans, but people from India.) Their values are much more in line with conervative values and are growing rapidly. Republicans can get 80% of these two groups votes if they work at it.
"Immigration" meaning, amnesty for tens of millions of illegals currently here and their extended families in Mexico (and elsewhere). Most of them are too blind to see that they're creating here precisely what they tried to escape from down there.
Keep it coming libs as I proudly wear my labels.
Now only here in the US... but elsewhere, too!
have they ever listened to the democrats, john and ken on kfi am 640?
they are very anti-immigrant and anti-republican.
Mexican immigrants are very often Catholic. We need to appeal to their higher spiritual and moral being. We need to continually spotlight the Democrats’ anti-Christian, pro-abortion, anti-marriage, pro-homosexual, pro-tax positions whenever and wherever possible. Spanish pamphlets, tracts, media spots, signs, all of it. We need to challenge their consciences, even if political success is slim.
Hmmm. How many of the “Hispanics” polled can legally vote?
A Hispanic sticking up for LaRaza imagine that?
Actually, this IS a big problem. The ‘Pubbies don’t stand a chance for getting any of the back vote; if they give up the Hispanic vote they could be crippled.
Of course, how much of “giving up the Hispanic vote” is giving up the PRK, which the ‘Pubbies haven’t won in a long time?
I call BS on this poll.
Mexican-Americans don’t want criminals taking their jobs for starvation wages.
Also Eastern European immigrant groups.
The rest of what you posted is dead on.
But with the RNC leadership and GOP leaders in Congress don’t bet on them ‘getting it’ anytime soon.
Hmmm. How many of the “Hispanics” polled can legally vote?
All of them. Ask Acorn.
Our present immigration policies and illegal immigration tolerance are big reasons why Republicans have to fret. Pandering to the conquistadors will only make things worse, not only for the Republican Party, but for the rest of America. But, if you want to look at the darker side, once 0 and his merry band of Fascist dreamers are through, the immigration problem will be minuscule, compared to the other disasters. Besides, what do the Multiculturalists care about the Republican Party? Why are they offering advise? My guess is that it isn’t to help us. Why does Albor Ruiz call citizens who are concerned about the culture and political balance of this nation extremists? Why does he insult us with demeaning terms like nativism and intolerance? Because he resides in the ignorance of his own politics. Take a look at what is happening to this country right now. The continued flood of Hispanics from Mexico and Central America will only make it worse. They will always vote in large majorities for the Fascist Democrats.
I’ve got a Mexican-American guy working on some tile at my house right now and he was telling me how hard it is for him to get good work nowadays. He knows first hand why ‘’comprehensive immigration reform’’ is supported by business groups - it’s called wage suppression.
Unless they are coming to America to be a valuable part of society... GO HOME! More than anything I consider myself an American, being that I was born in New York. Even if I was born in Puerto Rico that would still make me an American. But every time people say Hispanic's this and Hispanic's that, I feel thrown in with the whole lot by default.
Thank you for your post.
My neighbor, a Mexican-American, said the same thing before he was killed in an accident by an illegal driving a truck.
It is only the Catholic Hispanics that are liberal, the Protestant Hispanics generally vote conservative.
In 2004 the Protestant Hispanics voted 56% Republican and even in this last dismal election they still gave Republicans 48% of their vote. Protestant Hispanics are very pro-life and social conservative.
Hispanic voters sure have helped california {sink}.
Let's see! We have 300 million population and we are suppose to give up our principles and rule of law to cowtow to these 12-13 million so we can let illegals in. When pigs fly pal!!
You are absolutely right! And the Hispanics will vote for the Dems anyway!!!
When I hear the word Hispanic I never ever think Puerto Rico!Do be so sensitive.
It’s a shame that Mexicans are looked at the way they are. I grew up in a Mexican neighborhood in New York. There was a crack house right across the street from me and all I remember is that the authorities were always checking the Mexican’s making sure they were legal, they never did anything about the crack house. The Mexican’s I grew up around were up everyday at 4 in the morning and off to work, not coming home till around 6 in the evening. The ones I knew were legal and responsible and were grateful for the chances they had. I still have respect for them, and it angers me when I here about Mexican’s or any other race coming here illegally and ruining the image of others who want to be considered American.
Whatever gave you that idea?
note the map
No, he is 110% right.
Same old nonsense trying to lump everything together except for that which opposes you, so as to make your view small, bigoted, racist, and intolerant.
The media even lumps Spaniards together in that mix. Were you to call someone from Spain "hispanic" they would consider that an insult. - They are Spanish
You even read today that hispanics discovered America!
You are one person. True there may be others who think the same way you do but not everyone does. I didn’t just write that comment to write it. I wrote it from experience. When I was growing up, and someone would ask me what my background was and I said Puerto Rican, most of them asked me if I had a green card. Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, etc... They considered all of us Hispanic.
Ruiz sounds a lot like recently banned troll J.Simmons.
If they are insulted they should take it up with MR. Webster because like it or not according to him they're Hispanic. I don't wish to offend anyone but I assume when some one says Hispanic he is talking about people from Mexico because most of the time they are in this context, and on this site, and in this case that is a true assumption. hispanic - 4 dictionary results His⋅pan⋅ic /hɪˈspænɪk/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [hi-span-ik] Show IPA –adjective 1.

A Spanish-speaking person. 2. A U.S. citizen or resident of Latin-American or Spanish descent. [Latin Hispānicus, from Hispānia, Spain.] Usage Note: Though often used interchangeably in American English, Hispanic and Latino are not identical terms, and in certain contexts the choice between them can be significant. Hispanic, from the Latin word for "Spain," has the broader reference, potentially encompassing all Spanish-speaking peoples in both hemispheres and emphasizing the common denominator of language among communities that sometimes have little else in common. Latino—which in Spanish means "Latin" but which as an English word is probably a shortening of the Spanish word latinoamericano—refers more exclusively to persons or communities of Latin American origin. Of the two, only Hispanic can be used in referring to Spain and its history and culture; a native of Spain residing in the United States is a Hispanic, not a Latino, and one cannot substitute Latino in the phrase the Hispanic influence on native Mexican cultures without garbling the meaning. In practice, however, this distinction is of little significance when referring to residents of the United States, most of whom are of Latin American origin and can theoretically be called by either word. · A more important distinction concerns the sociopolitical rift that has opened between Latino and Hispanic in American usage. For a certain segment of the Spanish-speaking population, Latino is a term of ethnic pride and Hispanic a label that borders on the offensive. According to this view, Hispanic lacks the authenticity and cultural resonance of Latino, with its Spanish sound and its ability to show the feminine form Latina when used of women. Furthermore, Hispanic—the term used by the U.S. Census Bureau and other government agencies—is said to bear the stamp of an Anglo establishment far removed from the concerns of the Spanish-speaking community. While these views are strongly held by some, they are by no means universal, and the division in usage seems as related to geography as it is to politics, with Latino widely preferred in California and Hispanic the more usual term in Florida and Texas. Even in these regions, however, usage is often mixed, and it is not uncommon to find both terms used by the same writer or speaker. See Usage Note at Chicano.

I suggest that you read my post again. - I was agreeing with you and your point.
Smart conservatives could exploit that...if there are any left.
I know you were agreeing with me. I sent that reply to you and the individual that didn’t agree with me. Sorry about the confusion.
