Let's say you have 8 Hispanics who vote Democrat and 2 Hispanics who vote Republican. Let's say you get 2 Hispanics who vote Democrat to vote Republican. You now have 6 Hispanic Democrats and 4 Hispanic Republicans. It's still 6 Democrats to 4 Republicans. If you get 5-5 it's still a wash. All the while millions are still coming over the border and will vote Democrat for decades.
Of course Republicans should welcome Hispanics but it's unlikely there's going to be a major shift. There will be movement along the margins which can change results in local elections.
Regardless of how many Hispanics change party every poll shows they overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Pandering by altering core beliefs is like drinking salt water when you're thirsty.
The Karl Rove belief 'Hispanics are natural-born Conservatives' has always been a talking-point fantasy.
Hispanics in Florid are a big part of the Team...and have been for decades. We welcome our brothers and sisters in the Hispanic community - and they welcome us back...

For decades Bush League Republicans have been pushing the lie that amnesty was the only way to get hispanic votes.
The opposite is true and Trump proved that.
3 million last year, it used to be 1 million a year, now it’s 3 million and going higher soon.
The party switching is how a lot of these Assistant Democrats weaseled their way into the GOP.
We ought to be telling them that the more illegals that come, the worse this country will become, and it will turn into the sh*thole you left.
For most of my 24 years on FR the near-consensus among freepers had been “don’t waste your time trying to get black votes— they won’t ever leave the reservation(or plantation).” Likewise Hispanics. I’m glad to see at last that thanks to Trump, conservatives may be waking up.
Not all Hispanics: Cubans and Venezuelans. Osceola County is solidly Dem and sends Darren Soto to congress because PRs prefer the Dems. There is also a large Mexican population in central Florida and the gulf coast but they generally don’t vote.
There are a substantial number of very conservative upper middle class Hispanics where I live.
They are likely more reliable than your average suburban anglos and are a substantial part of the future of Texas and some other states.
Not bringing them into the fold is a recipe for disaster.
Y’all come. Welcome aboard. It’s long past time for our Hispanic brother and sisters to get off the Democrat crazy train.

Exactly! My experience has shown me that the most unreliable group for the GOP are White Suburban “Women”....They flip flop more than any other group!!
Here we go.
Don’t believe it. Hispanics will still vote Democrat over Republican 70-30.
What’s wrong with tax cuts?
Tariffs, not income taxes.
That's a good number there. Maybe 40% of Hispanics.
Tax cuts without spending cuts (and even increasing spending on “defense”) equals digging our grandchildrens grave with deficits.
He was around eighteen years old and had been in the U.S. illegally since he was an infant. He spoke perfect english, was very respectful, very productive, and he welcomed a conversation about why I would be a conservative.
I explained to him how his productivity had created wealth.
Together we had purchased ten thousand dollars worth of material and added his ten thousand dollars worth of labor to re-side my house.
I traded my twenty thousand dollars for twenty thousand dollars worth of re-sided house. I came out even.
The hardware supplier sold ten thousand dollars worth of material and came out ahead by whatever their profit margin is.
The young man working on my house ended up with ten thousand dollars in his pocket that didn't exist prior to doing the work. That, I explained, is how wealth is created.
I'm pretty sure he got the point.
