It's not votes. The hispanic vote in the USA used to be Republican when it was composed mostly of ex-Cubans and some people who'd been living in the SW USA for many generations ---- many who never were immigrants, descended from Spaniards and native Americans, or who left Mexico at the time of the Revolution. The hispanic vote is quickly becoming more and more democrat as indigent people move into the USA who are totally or mostly reliant on welfare programs and government handouts.
