Because, sadly, in this day & age appeals to racial solidarity will trump those to common sense every day of the week.

[PGR88]

I liked it.

By the way, can someone tell me why he is shaving his toungue?!

[Ken522]

The commercials are too manly for the Republican Party .. sigh ...

[john in springfield]

OK. That’s it. I’m pickin’ up a six-pack!

Salud!!

[Vision]

I assume, symbolic of being tough which is how they view the challenge of making their way into the country.

[mamelukesabre]

Dunno. Maybe he was hung over and it felt like his tongue was growing fur?

The idea that Hispanics are conservative is a big myth. Unless the life chances of children raised by single mothers suddenly improve, the explosive growth of the U.S. Hispanic population over the next couple of decades does not bode well for American social stability. Hispanic immigrants bring near–Third World levels of fertility to America, coupled with what were once thought to be First World levels of illegitimacy. (In fact, family breakdown is higher in many Hispanic countries than here.) Nearly half of the children born to Hispanic mothers in the U.S. are born out of wedlock, a proportion that has been increasing rapidly with no signs of slowing down. Given what psychologists and sociologists now know about the much higher likelihood of social pathology among those who grow up in single-mother households, the Hispanic baby boom is certain to produce more juvenile delinquents, more school failure, more welfare use, and more teen pregnancy in the future.

The Republicans’ Hispanic Delusion

[Linda Frances]

It’s time for a new party. The Conservative party with people like Sarah Palin.

[Vision]

That’s a big statement, and you’re completely wrong.

[Pan_Yan]

If we had a real president with balls they would send all 20,000,000 of them home, along with their children. I've read the 14th amendment over and over, and I can't find the words ‘anchor baby’ anywhere.

Then we wouldn't have to worry about bowing to La Raza and make sure every campaign rally has at least 2 speakers in Espanol.

The remaining Hispanics, who are actually citizens, would probably assimilate. Or at least I would hope so.

[paulycy]

Don’t you get the feeling that the current RNC would be embarrassed to run commercials that actually show men (primarily) who have character? (Sarah would be great, too.)

I’d be embarrassed to show them in a situation that requires character. It would be such a lie. (Boehner excepted after Friday’s reading of the bill.)

Mexicans are certainly not homogenous in politics, but I would not in any way categorize them as Republican conservatives.

MOST are poor and view capitalism as exploitative. That is what they have been taught.

Mexicans tend to be socially conservative on many issues, such as abortion, but like many other Catholics they would have voted for Obama if they were in the US.

Watching Mexican news in Mexico (not just a beer commercial) I can tell you that Obama is seen as the leader of “mirgratorio reforma.” You and I would call it “amnesty.”

Mexico is hobbled by the corruption of its government officials and the fact that the honest police chiefs, reformers, etc., get killed, examples being Luis Donaldo Collosio, presidential candidate; Cardinal Ocampo, Catholic clergyman about to expose government/drug lord links; and an assassinated police chief of Tijuana who actually wanted to make the police force a real one, not a laughing stock of bribes and “mordidas.”

I wish things were more like the beer commercials.

Post Script: The ladies are dang cute and affectionate. But you already knew that.

Eliminates one common source of bad breath. No blade required (just a scraper).

“...most Republicans believe the most effective way to reach them- which we know doesn’t work- is to reward lawbreakers with citizenship and hope for the best. “

1986 Reagan signed the immigration reform act, including sweeping amnesty provisions. And we all know Saint Ronnie could do no wrong

Wrong about what? The 50% out of wedlock birth rates coupled with the highest school dropout rates is the social pathology for failure in this society. We are creating a second underclass that is dependent upon government. And exactly what is an "Hispanic?" The Democrats, under the banner of multiculturalism and diversity, have forged a political coalition that depends on individuals coalescing around racial and ethnic identities rather than the issues. The continuing and increasing flow of minority immigrants, mostly poor and uneducated, provide a natural constituency for the Democrats, which see them as their principal source of political power.

The Democrats created the artificial category of “Hispanics” in the 1970s as a way to create another class of victims, which they could imbue with special rights and privileges, including affirmative action and minority business set asides. The result is another minority group that votes Democrat. It doesn’t matter that, according to the Census Bureau, 51 percent of Hispanics self-identify themselves as white. The Census Bureau has even created the phony category of “non-Hispanic whites,” which are now 66 percent of the population and will be 50 percent in 2042. The reality is that “whites” will still be more than 70 percent of the population in 2042.

In 2008, if John McCain had received 60 percent [vice 55 percent] of the “white vote,” he would have won even if Barack Obama had received the entire Hispanic vote. Credible surveys indicate that the major policy concerns of Hispanics/Latinos were no different than the concerns of non-Hispanics/Latinos. The economy and jobs topped the list. There is little evidence that immigration policy was an influential factor in Hispanics’/Latinos’ choice between the two candidates once basic party predispositions are taken into account. The size of the Latino voting population should be kept in perspective alongside other subsets of the electorate. An estimated 11.8 million voters were of Latino ancestry, compared with 17 million African Americans, 19.7 million veterans, 23.6 million young people, 45 million conservatives, and 34 million born-again white Christians.

Republicans are deluded if they believe that altering their views on immigration and amnesty will win them more Hispanic votes. Ronald Reagan signed a “one-time” amnesty in 1986, but that did not change the fact that the majority of Hispanics still vote Democrat. The reality is that historically the majority of immigrants, not only Hispanics, vote Democrat. Unless the Republican Party can slow down the immigration numbers, it will be the permanent minority party or become just another wing of the Democrat Party.

I see what you're saying, but in the words of Reagan, “the future, belongs to the brave.”

Get rid of the metrosexuals and get back to basics.

[Vision]

Something else we need to do is ignore all the defeatists.

[TommyDale]

The lines in two of the commercials about “not all of us are here”...is that suggesting that the remainder of the Mexican population is on its way?

[Vendome]

Sorry. Trying to see what is wrong with theses commercials.

They were actually pretty funny. Though the tongue shaving thing was weird.
