The Hispanics in the New Mexico area have been here longer than the US has been a country. The Anglos are the newcomers. There is a strong Republican presence but sometimes the Hispanic vote is just written off which can be seen as a snub.

Hispanics whose families have been here for multiple generations already tend to vote Rpublican. It's the newcomers who are trouble. They're already hooked on welfare public money and can't be converted. That's why we have to keep more from entering the country. That, and that alone can save the GOP.

Which makes them NON immigrants. Hispanic American and illegal immigrant are two different concepts. I can't think of very many --if any Hispanics in this area who believe in unrestricted immigration and not many who have lived here for generations (some descended from Spaniards not Mexicans) consider themselves to be from Mexico.
