The adage "be careful of what you wish for, you may just get it" most certainly applies to recent efforts by black political leaders to expand ballot access. Their reasoning seems alluring: voting has been their ticket to progress, and the more blacks who vote, the greater the progress. A corollary is that such expansion would also help their political allies, notably Hispanics and other minorities of color, and thus build a mighty coalition. Moreover, open borders bring more Hispanics, and this will, eventually, swell yet further this alliance which, it is assumed, will be led by blacks.
Reality may be a disaster for blacks. For one, expanding ballot access by easier absentee voting and the like will likely have minimal impact on black turnout, since black non-voters are disproportionately less-educated, disproportionally poor, less interested in politics, and often legally barred from voting due to felony convictions. Banning personal ID requirements and similar measures will have scant impact on this apathetic group.
By contrast, today’s low Hispanic turnout is bound to increase without hard political battles. Among Hispanics, growing U.S. citizenships, increased education, moving up economically, population aging, and especially learning English all will promote higher turnout. Thanks to their current low turnout, Hispanics have lots of “headroom” to expand their political clout and demographic forces will outweigh tweaking voting laws. The future of American “minority politics” is Hispanic, not African American.
There are other Hispanic electoral advantages. Just observe Hispanic officeholders -- though many have distinctive Spanish origins and names via immigrant parents or grandparents, and speak fluent Spanish, they are often physically almost or entirely “European.” Examples include Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, plus countless others such as Representative Vicente Gonzalez, who hardly appear to be stereotypical “Hispanics.”

I can't see why they would feel the need to form a coalition with any other group.
As an aside, any group that seeks to increase its wealth via the government teat will find that Hispanics oppose them and will soon or already have surpassed them in terms of wealth.

So many Hispanics are light skinned. They do not relate to person of color which is a dog whistle for not white. Many members of my family are married to decendents of Peru Cuba Panama etc. They are just about as white as we are. I remember the first time I saw “white Hispanic “. Zimmerman. I thought, wth.
Gotta say, you're on your own with that one! Hispanics I know don't like that one either.
Sorry, but black and brown are two completely different cultures with different interests and experiences and outlooks. May as well have an alliance between cats and dogs.
I don't know about no "migrants," amigo. I said most Hispanics I know are great, and don't like your Open Borders project at all. Open Borders brings in the riff-raff, the criminals, and the diseased, according to them.
If Pedo Joe reads this thread:
HE WILL CLOSE THE BORDER.
I agree with many who claim Hispanics are hard working and conservative. All my Spanish friends are.
Ronald Reagan and the Wall Street Journal were claiming that Hispanics are "natural Conservatives" in the early 1980s.
Since then, the best any GOP presidential nominee has performed with Hispanic voters was 40% - George W. Bush in 2004.
Around eight years ago, Albuquerque, NM, which is 50% Hispanic, voted on a city initiative to outlaw third term abortions - it lost 55%-45%.
They all want the big Chevy trucks and the Shelby Ford F-250 are will work any place and any hours for it. You rarely see blacks in the oilfields here in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico or Kansas- the Spanish guys won’t work with them.
Yep!
You speak the truth, central_va.
The author assumes that the Democrats won’t vote for the Blacks that don’t show up, reality has proven otherwise.
Do you have a link for the IQ stat?
It contradicts my experience with Hispanics ( legal and illegal). It takes a highly motivated, well organized, daring, and highly disciplined person to cross the southern border illegally. It is also very expensive. A higher IQ is associated with these character traits.
Very true.
I worked in South Central Los Angeles for a number of years and watched as Hispanics ethnically cleansed blacks out of the area, almost entirely. They do not wish to live around blacks and pushed them out, often with violence.
Not a peep from the media or local politicians, as there would be hell raised if it were Whites pushing out Blacks.
The only reason they are crossing illegally is because they, or someone in their group, cannot get a tourist or student visa.
The smart, disciplined, financially able, high IQ illegal immigrants buy a $100 bus ticket to LA, and then just overstay their visa.
40% of USA illegal immigrants are overstays.
Unless these urban blacks and dems have absolute control over the fraud mechanisms of ballot printing/harvesting/counting (which is what they are counting on) - expanding the opportunities for fraud could absolutely blow up in their faces.
World liberal party on the march.
Re: “get a tourist or student visa.”
Good point.
Yep, my old high school in LA was 85 percent black when I went there. Now, it’s 85 percent Hispanic.
