Stop insulting them. Stop lumping them in to the same category. Same with hispanics. Yesterday someone said here that if we run Rubio in 2016 we will get the hispanic vote. That person has no idea what he is talking about. Hispanics do not vote for a candidate because they are hispanic. They vote for the person they think is best for this country. I worked for Henry Bonilla for years. His district was huge. From where I live, NW Bexar County, to El Paso. He never, ever got the hispanic vote. It is insulting to say they vote for a hispanic name. They do not. No more than we vote for anglo saxons because they are anglo saxons.
The Democrats created the artificial category of “Hispanics” in the 1970s as a way to create another class of victims, which they could imbue with special rights and privileges, including affirmative action and minority business set asides. The result is another minority group that votes Democrat. It doesn’t matter that, according to the Census Bureau, 54 percent of Hispanics self-identify themselves as white. The Census Bureau has even created the phony category of “non-Hispanic whites,” which are now 66 percent of the population and will be 50 percent in 2042. The reality is that “whites” will still be more than 70 percent of the population in 2042.
Republicans are deluded if they believe that altering their views on immigration and amnesty will win them more Hispanic votes. Ronald Reagan signed a “one-time” amnesty in 1986, but that did not change the fact that the majority of Hispanics still vote Democrat. The reality is that historically the majority of immigrants, not only Hispanics, vote Democrat. Unless the Republican Party can slow down the immigration numbers, it will be the permanent minority party or become just another wing of the Democrat Party.
Hispanics are a natural constituency for Dems. They have a 50% out of wedlock birthrate and the highest school dropout rates of any group. 57% of immigrant headed households are on at least one major welfare program. Is it any wonder they vote two to one for the Dems?
