Latinos from any Hispanic country are not politically monolithic because they spring from a class (and racial) structure within those countries. Unfortunately, the social arithmetic is all wrong for the Republican and Conservative cause. These countries all have a huge and explosively growing underclass of mostly indigenous native ancestry, a comparatively small, numerically stable middle class, with proportionately more European ancestry, and a very small upper class, of mostly European ancestry. This demography is hardly a mystery.
I was personally assured by Karl Rove that "Mexican-Americans would be the Republicans of the Future." He wisely did not put a date on the word "Future." If 20% of legal hispanic voters in the US go Republican, consider it a minor miracle.
So the appeal that must be made by Republicans is to the fundamental desire for independence and financial achievement that is the basis of Latin American entrepreneurship.
Well, OK. But let's face it, that ought to be self- evident to this "Latino entrepreneurial class." Instead, we get Republican pandering to the largely illegal immigrant community with their anchor babies ... people who are 5 generations away from even considering the Republican Party; people who are in many cases, already illegally voting for, or being voted by, the Democrats.
When you say “Spanish” immigrant you have an uncomplicated matter
When you have an “Hispanic” immigrant you are opening up a huge grab bag. The less “indigenous” the Hispanic immigrant, the greater the chance he is conservative and his children will be conservative. The more “indigenous” the Hispanic immigrant the greater the chance he and she will latch onto welfare and other gimme programs without any shame and that you are importing millions of new affirmative action claimants
