Do you have that same type of break-out for down ballot races? A Spanish-speaking ex-Texas governor with a Mexican sis-in-law, who advocated the very same open-borders policy that he's pushing now did just a well as I assumed he would.

How did that same 44% vote when it came to Senators and Reps? How does the 44% break down by generation (1st, 2nd, 3rd and so forth)? By nation of origin (Mexican, Cuban, etc.)? Also note that Latinos make up 13% of the population, so the difference between the 8% that represents citizens and the remaining 5% that will benefit from the amnesty and new citizenship are the key - will they vote R or D? As they are economically weighted on the lower end of the scale, a traditional Dim base for support regardless of race, wouldn't this indicate a heavy favoring of the Dims?

How did that same 44% vote when it came to Senators and Reps?

[From what I can tell, the Bush numbers tended to go down ballot]

How does the 44% break down by generation (1st, 2nd, 3rd and so forth)?

[From what little data I have seen, there does not seem to be much difference, when it comes to Latinos]

By nation of origin (Mexican, Cuban, etc.)? [ Sure there are differences. Cubans are very GOP, although that is eroding (regression to the mean), and so are Nicaraguans (sp), and Puerto Ricans are very Dem, and Philipinos are too, but now swinging strongly to the GOP (maybe they don't count as Hispanic. But Bush ran close to even with Hispanics, which are almost all Mexican, in Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico, losing 3-2 in Nevada and Colorado, while losing 2-1 in California.]

Also note that Latinos make up 13% of the population, so the difference between the 8% that represents citizens and the remaining 5% that will benefit from the amnesty and new citizenship are the key - will they vote R or D? [I assume they will vote about the same as those who do vote, when they get the vote]

As they are economically weighted on the lower end of the scale, a traditional Dim base for support regardless of race, wouldn't this indicate a heavy favoring of the Dims? [No, because there does not seem to be much partisan movement vis a vis Hispanic upward mobility. The thing is, is that most Hispanics come to the US to work, not to game the welfare system. I know many on this site think otherwise, but that is consistent with the date, and with my own little beady eyes.]
