The only fix for illegals is to force them back across the border where they belong. Simply make it a criminal offense to knowingly hire an illegal alien worker. Give an amnesty period where all illegals have one year to leave the country on their own. If you leave on your own there will be no penalty and can apply for any future legal status. If you are caught in the country after the one year amnesty period you are documented with DNA, deported and can NEVER legally enter the United States again.
The illegals would self deport with these simple changes.
I think they’re just people and will react to same political influences as the rest of us. The “Hispanic” monolith is a BS construct of the Left to try and create an easily manipulated ethnic voting bloc (similar to what they have done to blacks) even though there is no such thing as a “Hispanic” ethnicity. They come from many ethnic backgrounds and nations, only sharing Spanish or a Spanish speaking heritage. The “Hispanics” we do have to worry about are the hordes of illegal aliens and those who wish to use them as a power base; they are absolutely born Democrats, no matter what color or national origin.
One aspect of Latino culture not always recognized or ignored in American politics, is their root cultures generally evolved without the elements of our Constitution or Bill of Rights.
Politically, even conservative Latinos, generally don’t intuitively think with an assumption of rights as God given bases for their political authority.
Instead, they do have a tendency to obey the authority of whoever is in power. That tendency can sometimes extend beyond Constitutional rights regarding their obedience.
WRT Obama, many take the stance that since he won the election, whatever he and his party want, they are to obey.
They are naturally tribal — that is, they naturally behave tribally. Nobody has to give them special privileges; but neither must anybody ever disrespect them for asking for them. Republicans APPEAR to disrespect them for asking for special favors: bilingual public signs and documents, amnesty, a pass on using terms and organizations like “La Raza”.
Democrats really cater to tribal behavior and outlook. Thus it can truly be said, the dems are trying to carve America up into little Balkan states. It’s immoral, but hey, it works.
So, hispanics are naturally tribal, which makes them good democrats.
Democrat leftists. The jistory of Spanish and Portuguese colonies have been ones that embrace the caudillo (strongman) dictatorships and mob rule. Aside from some good news in Chile South America, central America and Mexico are basket cases.
Since Nixon-Kennedy in 1960, there have been more than 50 national Hispanic polls taken after 14 presidential elections.
One poll, conducted by Annenberg Research, showed that 42% of Hispanics voted for George W. Bush in 2004.
Every other poll, for all 14 elections, showed that the Republican candidate received 40% or less of the Hispanic vote.
Post Script - the N.E.P. poll that showed George W. Bush received 44% of the Hispanic vote in 2004 was incorrect. After an 8 year controversy, N.E.P. was forced to revise that number down to 40%.
The US of A surely does. They protect illegals in every way.
In a values exam a majority of Americans come down on the side of conservatism, but somewhere between their values and their politics they split with themselves, voting for leftists and identifying with the Democratic Party. Hispanics are no different to the tune of 70/30 percent, and that is generous. Still, the fact that a majority of Hispanics have conservative values means that Republicans should be putting those values front and center to gain Hispanic votes honestly, instead of imitating Democrats with appeals for amnesty. It’s bad politics.
There’s a lot of very positive things about Hispanic/Latin American culture. And many false bad things people suppose (high crime, etc.). So I don’t mean to over-generalize, or promote hatred or bigotry agains Hispanics; most of the reasons why new Hispanics immigrants will be so outrageously left-wing have little to do with their home country and everything to do with the problems of importing millions of poor, poorly educated people into America.
>>Broadly speaking, the Hispanic society, regardless of nationality;
have strong family values,
In their home countries, yes. But illegal aliens coming in from Mexico are a self-selecting group of poor family values. That’s why the abortion rate among Hispanics in America is so high.
>>deeply held religious beliefs,
What religion is that? The Catholic Church in Georgia is 46% Hispanic, but only 16% of those who attend Catholic mass in Georgia are Hispanic, and most of those are from previous waves of immigration. The vast, vast majority of Hispanics are totally unchurched.
>> traditionalist by culture,
Mexico was Marxist since before Lenin.
>> strong gender identities.
Are you serious? This isn’t worth a political debate, but it just demonstrates how all of your assertions are merely presumption. The high rate of machismo is a reaction against the high prevalence of gender dysmorphia. Google “None of the Above: Gender Ambiguity in Nahua ideology” (Nahua: Mexican, Salvadorian) or “Indeterminacy and Gender-Sexual Dichotomy in Hispanic Cultural Productions from the Early Twenieth Century to the Present.”
