“McCain on Monday empathized with Hispanics who have been mistreated and said low-income Hispanics are often the first to lose their jobs when someone come to the United States illegally.”
Wow, he must have seen strong polling disproving the white liberal myth of Hispanics for Amnesty—and that “Hispanics” well know the cost of illegal immigration. He could pivot away from comprehensive reform/Amnesty+, but he’s locked in, dislikes the little people, and needs the business/wage depression lobby money.
Unfortunately, it’s not just white liberals promoting the “Hispanics are for amnesty” myth. I have been told by many people here that “my kind” are “naturally pro-amnesty.” I try telling them that I’m an American first, but that thought doesn’t seem to penetrate their thick skulls.
