"liberally or more so"

Most Hispanics are very religious - so are republicans. Most Hispanics are very tight with their money, use it wisely, and don't expect much from the government (at least in Mexico) - so are republicans. Because of the high catholic background, most Hispanics are pro-life (just a guess there) - and so are republicans. Most Cubans are very republican, have a high rate of business ownership, stress higher education, etc. Most non-Cubans are hard working and wouldn't appreciate hiked taxes, for example. I think the republicans can work on these qualities and hammer out a very informed, right minded constituency.

Not true. They're more religious on average than Americans, but not all that much.

The welfare participation rate is higher for Hispanics than for the Americans as a whole.

Because of the high catholic background, most Hispanics are pro-life (just a guess there) - and so are republicans.

The abortion rate and illegitimacy rate are significantly higher for Hispanics.

Most Cubans are very republican, have a high rate of business ownership, stress higher education, etc.

The non-Cuban Hispanic highschool dropout rate is higher than for blacks, and it's somewhere around 40%. Large numebrs are functionally illiterate.

Most non-Cubans are hard working and wouldn't appreciate hiked taxes, for example.

Most non-Cubans are in the low income brackets, so they don't pay much in the way of taxes anyway. They won't mind tax hikes as a reasult.

So if there were a population that was specifically non-religious, loved the welfare state, and loved to lay around, eat bon bons and watch tv, you would not want them here? If the answer is yes, you are admitting that you are not allowing the illegals to stay here because of principle, but because of politics. How then do you oppose the Socialists among us promoting the immigration of the bon bon eaters? Either we have a set of laws that mean what they say, or we don't. Build a fence, dismantle the system that provides for the illegals and their children, then get back to me about immigration policy. Unless the flow is stopped, and the social costs are minimized, immigration reform is just a phantom policy.
