I understand what he’s up to - he knows if the GOP offends the Hispanics, an essentially socially conservative voting block, that the GOP will be headed for permanent-minority party status

Hispanics vote for the Dems 60-40 or higher. The are not essentially conservative. The Dems are bringing them in thru immigration, legal and illegal, so that they can become the permanent majority party.

The Hispanic family is in poor condition with almost 50% of the children born out of wedlock [second to only the black rate of 68%] and teen pregnancy is by far the highest of any group. This myth of Hispanic conservatism is just a chimera to get the GOP to pander to Hispanics and support amnesty.

The way I see it, the Dems want the illegals for the votes they will bring them. The GOP wants the illegals because their business constituency wants them. Nobody is looking at the big picture: the end of America as we know it. As we know from the firestorm that met the first call for amnesty, both Democrat and Republican rank-and-filers oppose it, so it’s just the party leadership trying to do this to us.

Which is why I said they were essentially SOCIAL conservatives. That the modern Hispanic family is under assault from Liberalism and moral decay just like everyone else’s is beyond doubt, but Hispanic cultures at 99% Roman Catholic, pro-families, pro-life, etc., has been traditionally a socially conservative group.
