I don’t know if it is that simple to say that Latinos will vote for socialist ideas. The government in Mexico, for example, is quite likely very corrupt and it may not reflect at all the sentiments of the general populace.
Just for arguments sake - I think that Latino voters will gravitate towards candidates that support strong family values and the adherence to community, not necessarily handouts.
In addition, Latinos are amongst the hardest working people you will find. Policies that support the ability to find meaningful work to support their families will be attractive to Latino voters.
These things can all be aligned with conservative, traditional values. How can we help that they were born into a country that values lawlessness and corruption, and that is all that they know?
It’s a big job, but I think tanking our leaders without time, thoughtful dialogue and a willingness to find a balance is going to greatly harm America.
What is the evidence for this? I wish it were true, but polling shows that it is not. Hispanics vote Democrat because they want a larger, more active government. That is what virtually all polling shows - and it isn't even close. They overwhelmingly tend to believe in bigger government. Hispanics seems to associate "strong family values" with big government social welfare states. I wish that were not true, but the evidence seems to suggest it is.
I understand the need to make inroads with minority voters. I can see the demographics spell doom for conservatives, even in places like Texas and Arizona, if we don't start winning some of these groups. But what evidence is there that Hispanics vote on amnesty? Every poll I've seen shows they vote Democrat because they support a bigger government. Isn't amnesty just shooting ourselves in the foot?
