I agree. They are conservative, they just don’t know it yet (I think Reagan said that.)
I agree. I live in a little “barrio”; during the nine years that we’ve been here the area has gradually become almost entirely Hispanic. I previously lived in an adjacent neighborhood that was almost all Black - people who had left the big city for home ownership in the suburbs. Over the last twenty years, that neighborhood too has become almost all Hispanic.
These people are overwhelmingly family-oriented and religious; the women are sweet and very good mothers and the men very courteous. I have never encountered the “us versus them” attitude that one poster mentioned.
Most are working for small businesses, and many own their own businesses. There are some extremely accomplished craftsmen among them, and they take advantage of opportunity. Many have a very entrepreneurial spirit, and I, too, believe that traditional American values are natural to these folks.
The problem IS education. We now see young people whose families have been here for many generations, coming out of school without even a respectable minimum of knowledge of American history, or of the values and principles our founding documents and form of government were based upon.
My fear is that they will have to learn it all over again on their own, the hard way.
