Respectfully, that’s not true. I’m Hispanic and my ancestors settled into New Mexico (then New Spain) more than 500 years ago from Spain. I’m going to vote Republican regardless of the VP, but legal Hispanics are the fastest-growing demographic and we need to educate them on our ideas. A large percentage who have lived here for generations, don’t approve of amnesty or open borders but sympathize with children caught up by their parent’s choices—highlighted in Rubio’s plan to address the problem. Hispanics are the largest legal “minority” group, larger than blacks and growing the fastest of any group.
My people got here in 1904. Take all Hispanics living here for many generations. I'll bet not more than 2% got into America before 1904. In fact just about all Hispanics/Mexicans etc got here after World War two. You are the rare exception. Yes I am aware of "The Border Crossed US" Hispanics who ended up in America after 1848
And I don't sympathize with Marco Rubio, his parents got here pre-Castro and they were not American citizens when he was born so he cannot be a valid vice-Presidente. You want an illegal immigration magnet than pass a Dream Act and do what Obama did as far as enacting much of it via executive order
Amen, you tell 'em. This is why the whole "race" thing is a bunch of crap. If you saw photos of my great-great grandfather, you'd never in a gazillion years picture him as having red-haired, blue-eyed, freckled descendents. IMO, the whole "hispanic" and "black" and "Asian" and "Native American" and all the rest of that crap is just that -- crap that serves zero purpose but to distort and deceive.
We are all flesh and blood, skin and bone, love and hope.
I get disgusted when folks immediately assume anybody who looks Mexican or South-of-the-Border, is an illegal. And it's all the more ludicrous because a LOT of folks south of the border are white skinned and blue eyed and every bit as damned "Hispanic" as the soft-brown dark-eyed folks like my great great grandfather.
It's all a bunch of horse crap. I'm proud to FReep with an AMERICAN of European descent whose ancestors were here before the British. Vet, you beat the Mayflower -- and also, thanks for your service.
