A majority of American Hispanics have described themselves as “Conservatives” for at least 3 decades.
The political reality?
71% of Hispanics voted to reelect Obama in 2012.
66% of Hispanics voted AGAINST Ronald Reagan in his 1984 landslide reelection.
Does supporting Amnesty help Republicans?
Vice President George H. W. Bush vigorously supported the Reagan Amnesty in 1986.
70% of Hispanics voted AGAINST Bush in 1988.
And what’s it looking like after 1988? worse and worser? You call them Hispanics and so I presume you are from the East Coast.
Hispanics Conservative- YES!
Latinos- NO, not so much.
I’ve lived around both sets and differentiate between them.
Hispanics that are primarily East Coast often vote Republican and Conservative. Having lived under oppressive regimes in places like Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia and the like, these Hispanics vote like their lives depend upon it. They know Socialism and can smell Communism from miles away. But with their third & fourth generation Hispanic kids, it’s less and less.
Latinos that inhabit the SouthWest and Left Coast are nearly all Democrats because they want everything for free. Plus there is La Raza telling them to take over. La Raza is now funded by millions of dollars from our banks and Fortune 500 companies. It is a form of blackmail by the fedgov to finance anti-American racism. In lieu of huge financial settlements for ‘jacked-up’ transgressions, they force corporation to donate to La Raza and other anti-American groups.
These latinos have demonstrated that they are much more prone to violence and the gang mentality than many of their Caribbean and S. American Hispanics. It’s not fair to lump these people people all together. There is a huge difference in their educability as well.
