re: are highly likely to support big government.
This generalization is totally unfounded. Most Immigrants come here to work. Most do not come here to take welfare.
Take Mexicans as a sub-group. There are at least 5 distinct types of Mexicans politically. In a heavily Mexican working class suburb all 5 groups have voted for the small government slate of candidates when small v big government was the choice presented.
PAN president Fox (Andy Garcia in the movie FOR GREATER GLORY) is a libertarian leaning Republican type.
PAN president Calderon is a Santorum type social conservative. Libertarians and Social Conservatives make up the PAN party which has held the presidency of Mexico 2 of the past 3 times.
The current PRI president is a Chicago Democrat; Not a Bernie or European socialist. The PRI is the epitome of the corruption Mexico is known for. Prior to President Fox, PRI held the presidency and the Mexican Congress ever since the 1920s. PRI has two types of people:
1) People who seek power and personal wealth through politics.
2) People who just want to be left alone, avoid hassles and thus choose to go with the flow and not fight things like the PAN people do.
PRD is the 3d Mexican Political Party. Its people are Bernie and European Socialist types. They are Occupy Wallstreet and BLM on steroids. They are idealists. They have never won the presidency. They always vote against. They can be convinced to vote against PRI, against the corruption of the Clintons and Chicago Democrats.
From what I can see, Indians are politically split, just as Mexicans are. The current Indian president is a Santorum style social conservative. Past presidents have been corrupt PRI style Chicago Democrats.
Remember, on several occasions voters of Mexican ancestry in heavily Mexican areas have voted 100% for the small government slate when given a clear choice. (In those elections the lone Hispanic who voted for big government was a Puerto Rican lady on welfare.)
