I take it you are hispanic? I am interested in your opinion - the hispanics who voted for Bush, what do you feel is their typical opinion on the illegal immigration issue?

[Graybeard58]

Please don’t antagonize, or disrespect.

I don't disrespect any LEGAL Americans of Hispanic origon.

Or if they are here legally.

[ladyinred]

He sure did and I am so happy about that! In my area of California, the party has been reaching out to the Hispanic community for some time.

All you have to do is to listen to an Hispanic radio station to know that they are conservatives in many ways.

[glennherman]

I love all my non-communist neighbors! I hate all my communist ones, don't you?

[freekitty]

I am curious. Exactly why did the Hispanic community vote for Bush?

[mrpipesmkr]

I've lived in Texas and New Mexico and have had many Mexican-American friends. These fine people are hard-working, Honest and very family value orientated. We are the great melting-pot and we are infinitely better off because so many of our citizens are of Spanish decent!

[mdittmar]

To paraphrase a line from my favorite movie,

America,where you don't have to love your neighbor,ya leave the bast@rd alone!

[Jank]

I work with many hispanic's and they either voted for Bush,
or wanted too!!!

[Noachian]

Please don’t antagonize, or disrespect, this huge voting bloc. Consider and future of your conservative party.

So this means that Hispanics are only conservative as long as no one ticks them off?

[peyton randolph]

Hispanics are a conservative voting bloc.

True in Little Havana. Too broad otherwise.

Cubans tend to be conservative (excluding the Mariel Boatlift thugs).

Religious Mexicans are socially conservative but tend socialist due to what PRI has done to their homeland.

Nonreligious Mexicans tend socialist unless they own their businesses...capitalism is a wonderful thing.

Those from Dominican Republican and Puerto Rico are overwhelming part of the Dimwit plantation and treated as such by the Dimwits. Look no further than New York City. Even those who serve in the U.S. military tend to vote Dimwit.

Those from Central and South America tend to be slightly more conservative than all but the Cubans, particularly on the social issues.

Definitely no need to insult hispanics. OTOH, it is a Pollyanna view to state hispanics as a group are a conservative voting bloc.

[blasater1960]

Yes but look at california. What a mess in large part due to illegal mexicans. Don't Californicate the rest of the USA....

[JudyB1938]

Y'know, I really resent what you are implying.

FReepers are not racists. They just don't like people who break the law NO MATTER WHAT COLOR OF SKIN THEY HAVE. And those people don't vote - or at least illegal aliens aren't SUPPOSED to vote.

I think you owe the good people of this forum an apology.

The forum, BTW, which is composed of Hispanics, too. Or didn't you know that?
