The whole idea that Hispanics are pro illegal immigration is also just plain false.

No, but they vote over 70% for the Dems who favor amnesty. Immigration isn't a major issue for Hispanics, who have 50% out of wedlock birth rates and the highest school drop out rate of any group. They are, as a group, among the strongest Dem constituencies and getting stronger mainly for economic reasons, i.e., the Democrats are the party of free stuff.

The Dems have been very clever in co-opting Hispanics granting them rights such as minority business set asides and affirmative action even though 53% of Hispanics self-describe themselves as white. The Dems are masters of identity politics. We even have the Census Bureau recording such categories as non-Hispanic whites as distinct from Hispanic whites. Even the term Hispanic is phony.
