I’ve been saying for years that hispanic citizens do not want their country flooded with foreigners anymore than any other citizen.

The Ministry Of Propaganda and the GOP have been engaging in a disinformation campaign to convince the citizens that we must abandon the rule of law and surrender our country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
They have been trying to paint as racist anyone who values their citizenship, the rule of law and national sovereignty.

Lies.
All lies.

And how many illegal aliens will accept amnesty? Many have been in the States for decades and they never applied for citizenship?

To them, it might be “why bother?” Nothing will change except that they might pay more taxes and it will be more expensive for a company to hire them.

I am betting that few will accept the deal.

Of the 62 percent who felt a pathway to citizenship for illegals would not benefit the country, 33 percent felt it would hurt the economy, 7 percent felt it would overly burden public schools and 10 percent felt it would create public safety issues.

In Florida most Hispanic citizens are Republicans, good neighbors and great citizens. They're not backing illegals...

Re: “I’ve been saying for years that Hispanic citizens do not want their country flooded with foreigners anymore than any other citizen.”

So why did 79% of the Hispanics who participated in this poll vote to reelect Obama in 2012?

Obama has done NOTHING to secure the border.

Obama has ALWAYS supported a pathway to citizenship for the 12 million illegals.

Obama has ALWAYS supported our current policy of 1 million guest worker visas.

And, Obama has NEVER supported a reduction in LEGAL immigration (more than 1 million per year) or a reduction in new citizens (more than 750,000 per year).

Mitt Romney's immigration policy in 2012 was completely in line with a majority of the Hispanic voters who participated in this poll, but only 21% of them supported Romney 2012.

I think this poll simply reflects the sudden POLITICAL anxiety of the Hispanic community about well publicized immigrant crimes, and about the well publicized impact of massive immigration on wages and jobs for home grown Americans.

Most of the Hispanics in this poll are suddenly in favor of the completely bogus Republican policy of “securing our borders” and “no path citizenship.”

But in 2016, 70% of Hispanics will still support the Democrat nominee.

This is the third poll of legal Hispanics that I have seen on the subject of amnesty/pathway-to-citizenshiip.

All three have reported 2-to-1 majorities against the idea!

Accordingly, if the Republicans want to make inroads among Hispanic voters, their course is clear -- stand firmly against amnesty!

The Texas elections last Fall are proof of this proposition. The Republicans were most strongly against amnesty performed the best among Hispanic voters. Indeed, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick actually won a majority of the Hispanic vote -- and his opponent was a "wise Latina"!

Thank you...so very true. Hard working Americans who arrived here as Latino immigrants are typically insulted by illegal gibsmedats who want to effectively cut in line and become parasites for freebies that the newly arrived citizens have to pay for with their hard earned tax dollars.

You Still have many who are here who have no problem with it, but you also have Americans born here stupid enough to support democrats, so you’re bound to Get a few bad eggs. That’s the left for you...

There is something odd about this article. According to the poll it links to,
44% of Hispanic-origin registered voters believe the best solution for illegal aliens is to provide them with a pathway to citizenship.
29% believe the best solution is to provide a pathway to legalization (basically a green card, I guess)
26% No immigration until the borders are secure.
1% Dont’t know.

I gather these are the only choices. In any event, that means almost three-quarters believe in a path to legalization at least. That is not the impression I got from the Daily Caller summary.

I’ve been saying for years that hispanic citizens do not want their country flooded with foreigners anymore than any other citizen.

It depends. Everyone I know who immigrated here, is completely against amnesty, and generally have very little respect for illegals.
If they themselves are illegal aliens, or have parents/relatives who are illegal (they're usually 'anchor babies' themselves), then they are all for amnesty and open borders.
