What’s your point, Hispanics vote democrat, and are liberal on immigration, we already know that.

My point is that a tough stance on illegal immigration is not going to lose many votes, if properly framed. Subject to further research, second generation latinos don't seem to care about the issue and, to the extent that they do, are close to the views of average Americans. Of course, the Democrats will try to race bait the issue, but if you present it correctly, Republicans should prevail. Someone with latino blood should lead the charge, since they are harder to demonize.

My observation about Mestizos stems from Latin American racism, not ours. Latin American whites think they are exporting their trash. You don't see them walking across the border. As a result, the mixed race illegals and those with recent legal status, don't fully trust white latinos, particularly if they speak with a Cuban accent. That goes to who should be delivering the message. I don't know yet who to nominate for that task.

In any event, Republicans should not be falling over themselves to offer a path to citizenship for illegals. Their current stance results from intellectual laziness in accepting Democrat propaganda spun other over five decades.
