I live near Reading. There is a shooting almost every day in the city, in some cases right near the main downtown area. I suspect the “defund the police” movement by woke liberals is the main driver pushing residents toward the GOP here.

“My observation has been that Mexicans who came here legally are disgusted with the Democrats opening the flood gates to the illegals.”

I’ll bet that many of the recent illegal arrivals would feel the same way - opposed to more flooding in after them.

I’m waiting for the first law suit for false advertising from an immigrant. “I thought you lived under a constitutional republic, you lied”

I read an article yesterday that stated Blacks are opposed to LGBTQ stuff by a ten-to-one margin.

And Mexicans from families that have been here for generations and are citizens themselves.

I note how this post just happens to be 3 down from one commenting about how Biden is flying illegals into Scranton on “ghost flights” during Christmas.

I guess someone in DC is worried about hispanic political reliability....

Funny, most long-time Republicans are turning away from the GOP. I’m registered as “no party” now. The GOP died on January 6th.

So they aren’t yet indoctrinated into the cult of Paterno yet?

Ibelieve that if there is a civil war—a blood letting war—in the US it will be between Hispanics and Blacks. The Dims has managed to make a mess.

I doubt it’s because the republicans are doing anything good. More likely it’s a reaction against the democrats.

Is Reading a defunded dying city?

Many Hispanics come from countries where they were little more than beasts of burden for the small elites; why would they come this far just to end up with the same lot in life?

An uncomfortable truth is that many Hispanics and Asians are imported to fill the growing rings of abandoned infrastructure around the black urban cores; the dwindling white population is pulling ever further back while the black population is stagnant. This is how Eric Garner ended up peddling loosies outside an Asian-run store on Staten Island and the “gentle giant” Michael Brown was pushing around the Asian storekeeper in Ferguson MO.

The sheer cluelessness of the GOP establishment is breathtaking.

My son has a lot of dealings with Hispanics through the insurance agency he and his wife run. He tells me that on the downside, they’re heavy drinkers. On the upside, you can always rely on them to pay their bills on time. I don’t know about the former, but the latter tells me something.

I made a similar point on another thread a week or so ago. My job has me in contact with high school students, and my casual observations tell me a lot.

Hispanic young people do not like young black people. Not at all. They hate their music, their culture, their attitudes. I never witness Hispanics even sitting next to young blacks in class if they can possibly manage to avoid it. Young Hispanics of both sexes might date a white kid, but never a black one.

Contrary to media narratives, young whites seem to get along with most anybody, at least in a "live and let live" type of way. They may be guarded, but they are not openly unfriendly or hostile.

That's my guess. A lot of these Hispanic immigrants came from third-world hellhole places of drugs, executions, and corruption. I would bet they see the Dem. Party as facilitators of re-creating the hellholes they fled.

How many immigrants from totalitarian regimes have spoken out about what they see happening in Amerika? Do you think the Hispanic community doesn't see Democrats as the same corrupt and crooked native politicians that were paid off and turned their lives into a nightmare?

I stayed at the Penn View Motel for 3 weeks in May-June of 2005 while I worked a short contract gig at Dana Corporation. What a mistake! This place was a house of horrors.

Speaking out against gang bangers and criminals is not anti-Hispanic.

That is true. The most commonly cited reason for migrants (illegal or legal) seeking asylum in the US is threats from and fear of criminal gangs in Central America or Mexico. Some of the claims may be false, but people from countries with violent criminal gangs like El Salvador or Mexico often leave to get away from the crime. They certainly aren't fans of the criminals who prey on them.
