Which is why I said they were essentially SOCIAL conservatives. That the modern Hispanic family is under assault from Liberalism and moral decay just like everyone else’s is beyond doubt, but Hispanic cultures at 99% Roman Catholic, pro-families, pro-life, etc., has been traditionally a socially conservative group.

I gave you the data. The Hispanic family is not doing very well under the "assault of Liberalism." Why aren't Asian families experiencing the same thing?

...but Hispanic cultures at 99% Roman Catholic, pro-families, pro-life, etc., has been traditionally a socially conservative group.

Social conservatives my a**. When you have 50% out of wedlock birth rates, the highest teen pregnancy rate of any group, along with the highest school dropout rate, you have the social pathology of failure. Hispanics are becoming the second permanent underclass, which will make them more dependent upon government services and handouts. They vote overwhelmingly Dem.

The Republicans’ Hispanic Delusion Amnesty is not just wrong in principle, it’s bad politics

"This attitude of entitlement—not only among illegal aliens but also among legal Hispanic immigrants and their children—extends to the full array of welfare programs. In fact, welfare use actually increases between the second and third generation of Mexican-Americans—to 31 percent of all third-generation Mexican-American households."
