Hmmmm...IMHO...but other minorities buy the concept from Democrats.

Well, that's definitely true. The Democrats are much better at deception than the Republicans.

What is the problem here? Why is it bad to go after hispanic votes? Or to institute policies that may be beneficial to them. Once someone opens their eyes to a new party, they tend to explore the philosophy a little. . I am married to a spanish woman, and her family is not into programs or government welfare. They are conservative decent people who have voted dem because of the democrats push into the communities. But when I quiz them on their political philosophy, I prove to them that their beliefs lie much more in line with the Republican party. And guess what? They all voted for Bush. Took 4 years of debating!!, but I did it. Anesty for the illegals? That is a tricky subject. But I live in Florida, and if it were not for the mexican immigrants, you would be paying 3 times more for a tomato than you pay now. No other way to put it, the white folks around here do not want the farm work. Full amnesty for all, no. But we need a solution to keep hard working willing people here. And working on solutions to help can only help to open the door just enough for our Spanish immigrants to peek at what the differences are between the 2 parties. I tell you what, if all of us here took the time to volunteer and talk to minorities on party politics, be a neighborly person, we could make some progress. P.S. One other thing , President Bush has spent his life in Texas. He has been around the latin heritage and culture quite a bit. He knows it. Hell,his nephews and nieces are 1/2 spanish. His brother is married to a mexican woman. His intentions may be very sincere and thoughtful.

What is the problem here? Why is it a bad thing to want hispanic voters? Or to institute policies that may be beneficial to them. The large number of legal spanish/american citizens here are deserveing of representation. Nowhere in the Constitution does it speak of illegal aliens does it? Or how to allow them into the country. Or the laws to govern immigration.If it does someone let me know where. Once someone opens their eyes to a new party, they tend to explore the philosophy a little. .
