Too many people either don’t get it and never will or are just blinded by handouts.

You'll know that Clio, the Muse of History, is rolling on the floor laughing, if all these Latinos the Democrats are so eager to import turn out to be Republicans (or Libertarians)!

As I've said before, if the immigrants, legal or not, would agree to vote Republican, I would personally place a welcome-mat on the Rio Grande.

The really, really sad part is that 44% of Latinos either are gullible enough to buy the Dem’s BS that all Republicans are racist or are too addicted to the public teat to realize what a clown Obama is.

Time to capitalize on Cruz.....his name alone will get him votes from Latinos.

I suspect it is still 75 percent approval and not 44 percent.

Interesting. I remember SPECIFICALLY hearing from virtually all of the Republican advisers (most of them gay, by the way), that the ONLY WAY to reach Hispanics was to support the president’s push for Amnesty. Yet, in the end, the Republicans did not.

Now this poll is on the president, but their is an implication that this is pretty much a zero-sum game. If the Republicans and the president are on opposite sides, as they are right now on Amnesty, and the president is support what the Hispanics want, which is Amnesty, at least according to the Republican advisers (most of them gay, by the way), then why isn’t the president’s support WAY UP with that group?

...and the answer is: It’s a LOT MORE complicated, but for starters, despite what the Republican advisers say (most of them gay, by the way), (legal) Hispanics do not like open borders. They know, BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, exactly what is down there, and they want to keep it there. So the president’s policy of opening up our southern border simply BACKFIRED with them.

The Chamber of Commerce RINO crowd wants to get the Hispanic vote by being more like the dems. But they want those votes as yet another constituency to ignore when it comes to governing.

Most Hispanics I come into contact with want to work hard and make a living. A platform that spoke of making it easier for small and individual business to start up and thrive, with less and simpler regulation, would resonate. So would an education platform of offering shop classes and math/business classes that prepared for that goal. So would initiatives to keep their neighborhoods safe. They don't want to be over-run by criminal elements.

Actually we conservatives have more in common with the responsible, established element in the Hispanic community than we do with what either party's establishment is offering.

The problem is that they don't seem to "get it" why we want the invaders, even those here for a long time, to go home.
