The call for Republicans to discard their opposition to immigration amnesty will grow deafening in the wake of President Obama’s victory. Hispanics supported Obama by a margin of nearly 75 percent to 25 percent, and may have provided important margins in some swing states. If only Republicans relented on their Neanderthal views regarding the immigration rule of law, the message will run, they would release the inner Republican waiting to emerge in the Hispanic population.
If Republicans want to change their stance on immigration, they should do so on the merits, not out of a belief that only immigration policy stands between them and a Republican Hispanic majority. It is not immigration policy that creates the strong bond between Hispanics and the Democratic party, but the core Democratic principles of a more generous safety net, strong government intervention in the economy, and progressive taxation. Hispanics will prove to be even more decisive in the victory of Governor Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which raised upper-income taxes and the sales tax, than in the Obama election.

I live in L.A. so i can get a better understanding of my neighbors...
They are the ones who are racist. They’re like blacks who automatically vote Dem and they refuse to speak English, even in the company of non-spanish speakers. They think they own Cali. That’s why you almost never see the mexiclowns hanging out with white kids. The races just don’t mix here.
LOL, holy crap!!!
LOL, holy crap!!!
Because they like government feeding their kids. Because they like free health care. Because they like section 8 housing. Because they or their parents or grandparents were illegal aliens.
Catholicism is the State Religion of Mexico among other countries.
Why should they think the Government isn't paying for it?
I’m guessing that detecting sarcasm really isn’t your specialty, Dr. Watson.
My Mother, who grew up rather poor in southern California in the 40's, has the kind of attitude one might expect about these people, but the other old ladies don't seem to see a problem.

Zero doubt that full amnesty is coming very soon.
Even close elections like Tuesday will soon be a distant memory. The Dems could run Karl Marx against Jesus Christ next time, and it would be Marx in a landslide.
All the rules have changed. We can either leave, or else learn the new ones and fight to survive.
I don’t think there will be much chance of actual prosperity in the future, but with careful planning, survival is doable.
Really?
The name “Devo” comes “from their concept of ‘de-evolution’ - the idea that instead of continuing to evolve, mankind has actually begun to regress, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society.”
This idea was developed as a joke by Kent State University art students Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis as early as the late 1960s.
It’s no longer a joke.
And they made it into a movie, “Idiocracy.”
“Strange.
Typically RC’s prefer small limited...”
Unfortunately, it’s not strange at all. They’re homogeneously loyal before they’re RC. Which we could take a lesson from.
But we won’t.
Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner! You are so right.
Well if the border was not wide open before it is now. They got there wish. The country as we new it is gone.

In other words, Hispanics don't understand that the states are supposed to uniquely provide the government services, Massachussetts' RomneyCare for example, that the unconstiutionally big federal government is now providing.
I cannot think of one RC country in the history of the world that preferred small limited government. It’s ironic you stated this unhistorical statement to William III himself. Why do you think he chased James II right out of the British Isles during our fore fathers Glorious Revolution. Because RC’s do not prefer limited government. Granted, RC’s have adapted well and have embraced limited government here in America, but left to their own devices, they have not.
You have actually hit on the *WHY* so many conservatives are dead set against "comprehensive immigration reform". We *DID* 'give on amnesty' before, and got nothing but broken promises in return. We do not care to go down that same road again, for we are not, after all, fools.
Any promises given to us in exchange for giving in on amnesty will, just like the last time, be unfulfilled "hot air", and we know it. We are not "Charlie Brown" forever suckered into attempting to kick a football which is going to be pulled away...
