Doesn't quite work that way ~ the hispanic vote is already divided into factions. New voters, coming in large bunches, invariably respond to local conditions and fracture accordingly.

The classic case consists mostly of Italians ~ in the East they were traditionally Democrats and in the West they were traditionally Republicans. Although that's not necessarily so today, the reason was quite simple ~ the Democrat machines in the East were being smacked around by Republican wins so they went after new voters among the italians, and they got them simply for the asking. In the West, the Democrats were traditionalists and did not try to attract immigrants at that time, so, by default the Italians went with the Republicans.

Nancy Pelosi's family live in Baltimore ~ her father was the mayor. They are all Democrats. She moved West and stayed Democrat. They are as corrupt in both places BTW

Democrats who assume new hispanic voters can just move into the existing structure ~ where blacks themselves are still newcomers ~ are NUTS! Republicans who assume all the hispanic voters will gravitate to the Democrats are also nuts. The fact is most new hispanics eligible to vote will probably join the far more numerous 90 million non-voters. Getting a few tokens here and there to stand up and say 'Hey, looka' me you 'panics. vote me' never did work, won't work, and can't work. What will happen will happen ~ and you'll find some local party committees bringing in NEW voters, and some freezing them out of the party. Their own leadership elites will drag them elsewhere ~ probably to a Peronist type movement which intrigues with both major parties.

Remember, if nothing else, the hispanic criminal class shows them to be as resourceful and motivated as any other group in this country ~ these guys are not docile once they find out what the normal rate of pay really is.
