About 1/3 of the Hispanics in the US are here illegally, but those illegals appear in or census counts and in all the demographic analyses and projections. And that is why they are about 14% of the population and only about 7% of the voters.
That’s why amnesty or not is so critical. It would bring a net of several million new Dim voters.
But you live in California and tend to think the rest of the nation is just a few years behind. Actually the Latino population is still very small in most states and they are not the swing voters who determine all elections.
And some of the most reliably Dim states are 85% plus white. One wonders if they will ever give up their leftest world view: Wisconsin, Minnesota, most of New England and others.
Hispanics have dramatically increased their numbers in a lot of states including TX, NM, FL, AZ, CO, NV, and others-—they aren’t as concentrated in CA as they used to be. In fact as CA’s economy has worsened in recent years many have left the state.
