Perhaps we lose because republicans like you are clueless. My hispanic neighbor, a first generation legal American from Mexico, doesn't want his taxes paying entitlements, and if anything, he hates illegal immigration more than most here on FR.
Your fundamental assumptions may be incorrect.

Your fundamental assumptions may be incorrect.”
That may well be.
How could we go about answering that question with a little certainty?
Here’s a thought: maybe the concept “Hispanic” is largely irrelevant. Perhaps what is more important is, what state/region are the people we are talking about from? How vibrant is the faith? And so on.
No doubt the picture is very nuanced. There is a path forward here, but it is likely complex ...and we can’t please everyone.
All that said, I fear that the entitlement mentality is very much alive among Hispanics, just as it is alive and growing among whites. Wherever you find a large percentage of unwed mothers, you are going to find entitlement mentality.
Appreciate your input here.
