Agreed.
Politically, the growing immigrant population can be a big source of new GOP voters. There’s no reason why new immigrants and their children should be ceded to the Democrat party. Many of these immigrants are involved in activities such as owning small businesses, and are concerned about cultural rot in this country. They are prime candidates to hear the GOP message of limited government and lower taxes and individual liberty.
100% wishful thinking. Not going to happen. Hispanics/Latinos/Mexicans whatever will predominately vote against anything they consider “white”.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad (truthful news). I used to believe years ago that skin color had nothing to do with voting, politics, social issues etc. I was naïve.
With apologies, fellas, Laz is all wet on this.
A majority of immigrants—legal and illegal—from Latin America are on the dole in some fashion even as far as at least the third generation in this country. They come here for the far greater services they can extract from the government, as well as for the opportunity. They and infinite generations of their families qualify for affirmative action in education and hiring, needing to meet far lower thresholds of qualification than plain old white (or Asian) Americans.
Even back home where they are supposedly religious Christians (largely Catholics, of course), they are both steeped in liberation theology and among the highest-crime populations on the planet. Once here, they and their offspring shoot to the head of the pack not only for outright crime, but for dropping out of school and having children out of wedlock. While they are here illegally they typically commit felony after felony in various forms of identify fraud, and their small business orientation is overwhelmingly of individuals working as independent contractors, because that is an easier way for them to get around out employment, immigration, and tax laws.
