But, they need those Hispanic voters, to replace all the conservatives they’ve driven away!
The illegals who are allowed to vote illegally using state identification given them (even though illegals) will vote Democrat for the protection from deportation they get from the 'rats.
Pandering to Hispanics is not necessary or desirable. Those true immigrants who are successful and inclined to vote Conservative in an attempt to retain the freedoms to continue to be successful, will vote that way, and those immigrants who haven't been able to succeed for whatever reason will vote Democrat for the handouts they provide.
Well, that is not what 2008 and 2012 showed when it came to voting.
That just means the majority haven't found a path to success (or haven't worked hard enough on it) and support 'rats for the "free stuff".
Pandering to them is not going to change their support unless those doing the pandering offer more than the 'rats.
If they're legal, they don't fear deportation and most I've talked to don't support open borders, either.
No, but the GOP should reach out to them. How? Run Spanish language commercials. Do Spanish language interviews. Give the conservative message in Spanish. Participate in Spanish language debates. Even if you don’t speak the language, bring a translator, learn a few words. Attend Latino functions but don’t be afraid to talk about the legal way to obtain citizenship. Talk about what it means to be an American citizen. Talk about the need to learn English, even if you have to say it in Spanish. Build Spanish language websites explaining our position.
Buy ad time on Mexican TV and radio (as the Democrats did). However, explain the Republican position — limited government, states rights. Talk about Democrats promoting sodomy and killing unborn children...in Spanish and in Catholic Mexico! Run ads in Mexico explaining how the Obama administration armed the narcotraficantes and put the blood on the hands of the Democrats where it belongs. My two cents.
It’s amazing that the GOP wants to cultivate a relationship with non-Americans, while taking up the premise, manufactured by the left, that Americans are racist, moronic, gun-loving, bible-thumping, knuckle-dragging Christian morons.
(Absolutely amazing)
IMHO
That is just nonsense created in your head, and has nothing to do with reality.
The facts are the opposite of your imagination.
Do you have a link reference for your "facts"?
If that is true, which I doubt, then it is all the more reason not to 'regularize' these Mestizos.
We offer Hispanics everything we offer everyone else.
Pew is about all we have on the subject, though they are suspect as a left-leaning organization. Who are the ‘latinos’ that they polled? How do we know that they have legal status in the U.S., other than their say so? Illegals vote illegally using drivers licenses and affidavits. What is the likelihood that they are telling the truth to Pew, which itself has a bias toward obfuscating the truth? To grobsdriver’s point, did Pew segment these ‘latinos’ by length of legal status in the U.S. or birth in the U.S.? It is easy to get the result you want when you poll samples of the entire ‘latino’ population that includes twenty million illegal aliens.
It is a government policy.
And Republicans can change government policy, if we have the will and the passion to convince the voters.
We can decide to import just 100,000 per year.
We can choose the smartest and most energetic young people from every country in the world.
We can refuse to accept their elderly SSI dependent parents.
We can refuse to accept their less talented brothers and sisters and their welfare dependent in-laws.
We are a sovereign and democratic country, and Republicans can do whatever the Constitution and a majority of voters allow us to do.
So rather than the research done to establish how groups vote, you prefer to just make it up in your head.
From Fox News:
“”Romney ran into problems with Latinos when he took a particularly hard line on immigration during the GOP primaries.””
“”The Latino Decisions polls indicate that nationwide and in battleground states Obama won Latino voter support over Romney by historic margins – 72 percent to 23 percent nationwide, including: in Colorado, Obama won Latino voters by 87 percent-10 percent margin; in New Mexico, by a 77 percent-21 percent margin; in Nevada, by an 80 percent-17 percent margin; in Ohio, by an 82 percent-17 percent margin; in Virginia, by a 66 percent-31 percent margin; and in Florida, by a 58 percent-40 percent margin.””
"Everyone else" being legal immigrants who have waited in line overseas for over a decade before gaining admission, rather than just walking over the southern border.
Everyone being other voters (citizens by definition).
Everyone else being other Americans, not foreigners.
There is actually Hispanic polling that goes all the way back to Kennedy-Nixon in 1960.
No Republican presidential candidate has EVER received more than 40% of the Hispanic vote.
Also, recent immigrants from non-Hispanic countries are moving further and further to the Left.
Bob Dole got a majority of the Asian vote in 1996.
In 2012, after massive immigration, 73% of Asians voted for Obama.
Yeo, immigration serves the left and it is why JFK was obsessed with changing the immigration laws, to give us what became the 1965 Immigration Act.
