Ah yes, the old Bush-family plan: “sure, they’re illegal but they have conservative values and I can get my lawn mowed for $5!” (even though they vote 99% Dem.)
99% ?
Latinos have a very, very low turnout rate. They don’t like Democrat policies and the Republicans seem to not want them.
But when they are wanted in Florida they vote very Repulican.
Many Latino voters in FL are Puerto Rican. They vote Democrat in NYC but Republican in FL.
When I was in IL, my heavily Latino working class suburb voted heavily Republican at times. Ofcourse I registered hundreds of them. It was the divorced whit moms and their shacuips in Hangover Pk who voted Democrat.
At times is irrelevant. The establishent Republican for governor thought it would help his career by framing Rolando Cruz for murder. That didn’t sit well.. . not just with Latinos but with many voters. (Yes, it is bi-partisan, Richie Daley did the same thing in Chicago Heights in the adjacent county. Maybe IL is not the best example? )
