But consider further that, as the Census documents, the biggest single driver of the increased nonwhite population is the growth of the Hispanic population. They are by far the largest group within the Census-designated nonwhite population (19 percent vs. 12 percent for blacks). While their representation among voters considerably lags their representation in the overall population, it is fair to say that voting trends among this group will decisively shape voting trends among nonwhites in the future since their share of voters will continue to increase while black voter share is expected to remain roughly constant.
An important thing to remember about the Hispanic population is that they are heavily oriented toward upward mobility and see themselves as being able to benefit from available opportunities to attain that. Three-fifths of Latinos in the national exit poll said they believed life would be better for the next generation of Americans.
They are also patriotic. By well over 3:1, Hispanics in the VSG survey said they would rather be a citizen of the United States than any other country in the world and by 35 points said they were proud of the way American democracy works. These findings on patriotism are confirmed by results from the 2020 More in Common Identity and Belonging study, where the views of Hispanics contrasted starkly with the negative views of progressive activists.
Clearly, this constituency does not harbor particularly radical views on the nature of American society and its supposed intrinsic racism and white supremacy. They are instead a patriotic, upwardly mobile, working class group with quite practical and down to earth concerns. Democrats will either learn to focus on that or they will continue to lose ground among this vital group of voters.

The dirty little secret....legal immigrants hate illegals...
I worked construction til 2020 in Denver....If any one new for sure the union had sent an illegal to the job site ...he was gone the next pay day...
The GOP never went after there votes or the black vote...maybe they liked the cheap labor illegals
No prob. There’s an endless supply of new Hispanic voters.
Once the Democrats figure out that the Latinos vote mostly Republican, the border will be quickly sealed.
Most Hispanics are White. Democrats keep telling them they aren’t.
‘zactly.
Hispanic is not a race.
Mestizo?, sorta...
If we’re going to be inundated by another culture we could do faaaar worse than the Hispanics.
And yes, just last July I was talking to first generation migrants from Mexico and they had nothing good to say about Brandon.
They will never get a Latin or Native American vote from this branch of the family. The eldest of the new generation collects Trump hats.
Hispanic citizens have always wanted border control and interior enforcement, just like any other citizen.
Assistant Democrats have been lying to us for decades that we had to pander with amnesty.
These data also point to bigger future problems for our “friends” on the left. Since they frequently kill their babies, the percentage of blacks will fall as the population continues to grow, making them a less and less important faction.
Well, There are many Hispanics who vote GOP and hate illegal immigration but they truth is the numbers are only 30%. Trump was doing out reach-this has to be top priority.
Yes, CA is the model Dems use, but it is the “block voting of people of color” that drives their vote.
CA is a state where “people of color”, are now about 65% and block vote for Dems-same as nationwide , Blacks vote 90%+ dem, Hispanics 70/30 Dem, Asians now 75/25% Dem- that is what drives the Dem vote in CA and most blue states.
And in states going from Red to Blue-it’s the growth of these block voters, primarily Hispanics
Just look at the states won by Trump in 2016,he won 32 states but only 4 have a population of Hispanic voters over 13%. Clinton by contrast won 28 states and only 5 had a Hispanic population of under 13%.
