Ruh Oh! Obammy will be sending troops to the border shortly!
Facts will not matter to the left and MSM of course.
The GOP could win 55% of hispanic votes on the issue of shutting down immigration and the narrative will not budge an inch. The MSM has decided that hispanic=immigration just as women=abortion and blacks=welfare or something
Over and over this so-called “hispanic” voter proves to be a myth. Calif. hispanics are primarily mexican as in Texas but there is little in common. Chicago is Mexican and Central American and have nothing in common with other hispanics. S.Fl is dif than N Fl.....and on and on.
This Texan of Latino ancestry could have told them Texas Latinos who are native born have voted GOP at least ever since the other party started pandering to illegals-no one in my family votes for democrats, neither does anyone else I know...
Right you are-Latinos/Hispanics in places like LA do not have any similarity but ancestry to me or anyone else I know-the differences are even evident in the TV series on the Spanish language stations at night-the ones that take place in Cali have the people speaking a different dialect from the one here, some of the clothes, and attitudes are different, too.
Interestingly enough, the only series not filmed in the Miami area are the ones that take place in Mexico-those are mostly filmed there. The series that are set in Miami are in yet a different dialect-and the actors talk faster, like Cubans and Puerto Ricans do...
Yep......My fathers side came out of Mexico around 1900...settled in W.Texas and SE NM.
A few here on FR need to realize how things really sit. Nuf said.
Good.
Find out why and figure out how to replicate that phenomenon in other locales.
Indeed - the narrative isn’t meant to just affect the voter block they make the issue, but voters at large that the GOP is ‘racist’, ‘sexist’, etc. regardless of facts.
Hispanics in Florida are hard working family people - I figured it would take a few generations for them to become Republican... Looks like it’s gonna happen sooner. Thank God. (Most Cubans are with us already - they saw the ‘joys’ of Communism up front and personal). Democrats made a mistake bringing in people who take pride in their work...
True. My brother in law’s family has been in El Paso since before it was Texas. He’s a proud Mexican/American conservative.
Most of my family came from Northern Mexico in the late 1780’s with some other ranchers looking for a new place-probably farther away from the Spanish version of the tax man that grabbed your best livestock every Spring-they settled in SW Texas-a few went on to Southern NM.
Since the driveby media only talks to-and about-those Hispanics who are rabid socialists, who are naturalized Americans, mojados who have gotten legalized or whose parents are illegals-and only those who live in cities, most people can’t help but think all Hispanics live in big cities, are democrat voters/rabid socialists and want all the illegals to come here. They also interview a disproportionate number of these people in Cali...
It never occurs to them that there are people like you or me around, whose families are ranchers/country people, and who well might live in those conservative rural communities ourselves...
This is actually an unreported very important factoid...
One of my friends in college was a girl from Hollywood Florida whose parents had managed to get she and her brothers out of Cuba right after the SHTF, which was only possible because her father worked for an airline-and the family got asylum and settled in the Miami area. The stories she told me made my hair stand on end. She was hired by a company in Florida right after graduation, but her stories made an impression on me.
Her family was very conservative and always told her to be grateful that they had gotten to the US alive.
She was lucky they got her out... thanks for sharing that with me...
