Some interesting insights on this thread, and perhaps there is something else to consider.
I have read that many Hispanics and Latinos have a good work ethic, show up on time, and support family values. Obviously there are exceptions (drug gangs, etc).
There seems to a history of tension between the black community and the Hispanic/Latino community. Will this increase in the future, as jobs shift to the better workers? Polarization is a possibility, if blacks are seen as the pets of the dem party, and the endorsement of anti-family values by liberals continues among the liberal dems.
The dems might be surprised if they lose the vote of this demographic, probably because of their elitist assumptions that they will vote the same as the blacks.

Correct. Blacks (in general) may not care if guns are taken away, gays marry, and businesses are regulated to death, but Hispanics do, as the Dems probably have not figured out yet.
