There goes the Latino vote.

Good for Steve King. We never had the Latino vote and never will. They will continue to vote 65-35 for the Dems. Pandering doesn’t work. McCain supported amnesty and received awards from La Raza. The Latinos voted for Obama.

If I were an American citizen of latino heritage I would be mightily offended by the automatic assumption that the most important issue in my world is offering amnesty to illegal immigrants.

It should not too hard to do a little reverse psychology on this tired democrat smear tactic and turn the argument into a positive, and still maintain our pro rule-of-law principles.

If guys like Rubio want to, that is.

There goes the Latino vote.

The Democrats and the MSM would have you think so.

But the few polls that have been taken (or reported) on the subject among legal Hispanics suggest that is not the case.

To my recollection, I've seen three polls of legal Hispanic voters over the past year-or-so and 55-60% are firmly against amnesty; only 35-40% for it.

And why shouldn't that be the case? Most Hispanic-Americans are Americans before they are Hispanics, have earned their citizenship legitimately and don't support the separatist agenda of La Raza, etc.

The left and the media, however, don't want you to know that.
