This is what Republicans need to emphasize to get and keep this voting block.
Remember only citizens vote -- or at least in theory.
Gallup:
Obama Approval Down Most Among Hispanics in Past Year
Hispanics’ approval has fallen from 75% in December 2012 to 52% in November

Just saying.
I agree with what you say, and going back many years ago, I served with Mexican immigrants in the Air Force and they were great folks. We are a nation of immigrants. I know there are legal and illegal immigrant issues, but we need to work those out.
My son will be old enough to vote for the next president. You can sure as there’s a socialist in the white house bet he won’t be supporting a democrat.
Legitimate Latino voters MUST be educated about the fact that they destroy their own and their children’s future, when they behave more tribal and more Mexican than American by voting in the open borders amnesty politicians. They and the rest of Americans must also be educated about the fact it is true conservatism and conservative populism and not Dems, progressives nor RINOS in office that can restore our American Dream.
We are a nation of immigrants.
:::::::::::
We are a nation of LEGAL immigrants. Or at least, we once were — the federal government has changed all that with their vote-buying politics.
Most hispanics are also socialists. That is omne of the reasons they have overwhelmingly supported the Dims.
It is a myth that most hispanics are hard working, pro-business folks. If that were the case, one would think that at least one of the third-world hellholes they inhabited for oh these many hundreds of years would have progressed to a first-world country by now.
Amnesty and Obamacare both have much the same purpose. The government wants to register everyone. Right now there is around 40% of the US population that is generally unknown to the government. They don’t have a license. They did not go to college. They don’t file taxes. And they don’t own a home or use a credit card. They are whites who can’t hold a job. Or blacks or hispanics who work for cash. You see them when you go to court for a traffic violation. You see them in soup kitchens, or in ghettos. Or they work in small restaurants or lawn services.
These people are very numerous. And the government can’t track them. Yes they may pop up at a hospital or a traffic court. But they soon disappear.
Obamacare is one attempt to lure them out to a registration. They won’t go. Mostly because they get healthcare now. They generally stay away from hospitals but when things get beyond their control they show up at a clinic or emergency room and cannot be turned away. This will be true after Obamacare as it is now.
I can only speak from my own experiences which have accrued over the past seventy six years in 49 of the 50 states and several places around the world. I can say that I witnessed huge numbers of migrant workers, including small children and pregnant women on both coasts. California depended on those migrants to harvest their vast fields, as did parts of Virginia. We know that Texas did as well.
Who knows how many of those babies were born here while their mothers were laboring, literally, in those fields. Try a google image search for migrant worker housing. It was not pretty, and yet large parts of the US agriculture industry could not have survived without it prior to mechanism.
The Irish, Jewish and Italian immigrants in our cities also carried their own weight and it would be hard to argue that they were a burden on this country.
If democrats aren't jacking with my health insurance they're trying to grab my guns. I was raised a Democrat but that was when Democrats were still Americans.
I'll never vote for one of the slimy, lying phackers as long as I live
Oh yeah...Period!!
Migrant worker housing from Google images.
I live in a small city in California that was an Okie town til the Mexicans started moving in and propagating many years ago. Now there are parts of town where you would think you are in Mexico full of shootings, stabbings, etc. Even though they are illegals most of their kids were born here and are on every kind of aid imaginable. They will NEVER vote Republican and the Republicans are delusional for even thinking they might.
And by Nov. 2014, they will be back to normal.
“Obamacare is one attempt to lure them out to a registration. They won’t go. Mostly because they get healthcare now. They generally stay away from hospitals but when things get beyond their control they show up at a clinic or emergency room and cannot be turned away. This will be true after Obamacare as it is now.”
No, it won’t be true after Obamacare. When they go to an emergency room after Jan. 1, and they don’t have a healthcare card, their names will be recorded and they will be told they must sign up for healthcare and will probably do it right there, sign up for Medicaid. Anyone going into an emergency room will be caught if they don’t have a card.
That sounds really good, but the unfortunate fact of the matter is that in 2012 only 27% of ‘latinos’ (Latin speakers?) voted Republican.
And that number has been going down every election.
Truckling to the ‘Hispanics’ (from Hispanola?) is suicide for non-Democrats.
If they are what you say they are, they will respect us for sticking to our ‘law & order’ guns; if they don’t, then you, McCain, Boehner, McConnell, Cantor et al. were wrong. I think you’re all wrong about “immigration reform.” It would be the death of the GOP, at least.
There is a reason they call the GOP the Stupid Party.
Nonsense! Just as Jews and Blacks they will be back. The trick is to get White voters to realize only they can save America. Whites are 2 for 1 over minorities. If Whites save America, those minorities who are sincere about American values can come along; if not they can move to Democrat districts and states with their hands out.
If only everyone's kids were as well read in history and informed on current events.
