Republicans should have been going all out to make gains with Latino voters. Trump certainly did better but republicans should do all they can to gain their votes. And I believe there are ways to do it without allowing illegal immigration.
That is the issue facing Dems, and why 2016 made it clear they had to assume full control of the media for the 2020 race and beyond: Not only were Hispanics open to the message of keeping more of their earnings with lower taxes, but blacks were as well. Blacks in a few key states could have put Hillary in office, and they didn’t. The 2020 election theft was due to the fact that Dems realized the Trump message didn’t just resonate with whites, but with many new immigrants who left socialist dumps and didn’t want to vote themselves another one.
That has been the GOP's problem all along, wrongly assuming American Latinos favor illegal immigration.
They don't and never have because they are the ones most negatively impacted by it.
Problem is that the GOPe is still siding with the cheep labor express because they got big donations from big business to keep the gates open.
That is starting to change as big business and big tech have flipped to wokeness openly.
