Virginia Latinos, courted by Democrats, plunge into state political activism

The state’s Latino population of 630,000 has soared by 92 percent since 2000, and 74 percent of Hispanic U.S. citizens in the state, about 214,000, are registered to vote. Of those, more than two-thirds identify themselves as Democratic — and about 71 percent voted for President Obama last year. ....

Latinos are heavily involved in the gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Terry McAuliffe, both as campaign staffers and as volunteers in numerous counties and cities. McAuliffe, who supports immigration reform, is running Spanish-language ads on Univision and Telemundo TV and has created a “Latinos con Terry” steering committee with more than 300 members across the state.

What do Virginia Anglos have to say?

“What do Virginia Anglos have to say?”

Too many are saying, “meh.” They’re as resigned to the invasion as Anglos throughout the country are.

What do Virginia Anglos have to say?

Nothing. They've been cowed into silence.

Latinos are a hard working, intelligent, and church going group of people. It is surprising to me that they would want to vote for someone clearly supported by Satan himself.

McAuliffe supports the murder of children for convenience, to avoid responsibility, and cost of raising children. Terry wants to take away your guns. Terry supports Obamacare that will reduce the population of its elder citizens. His disdain for you is reflected in the treatment of WWII veterans during the shutdown by the Democrats. He is a low information voter because Democrats passed Obamacare without reading it; they continue to support it without reading it. McAuliffe thinks that men and women are interchangeable. He is part of the most corrupt administration this country has ever seen!

It may be the Hispanics who step up to save this country from communism.

I guess the GOP pushing Illegal Alien Amnesty isn’t getting Hispanics to vote GOP....not surprised

Rand Paul’s immigration speech

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
