Most Latinos are by their nature conservative in many ways—we must reach out to them.

Latinos have 50% out of wedlock birthrates and the highest school dropout rate of any group. They use welfare to a much higher degree than any group other than blacks. They voted 71% for Obama. They support Big Government. They are not conservatives. They are the stereotypical Dem voters.

The GOP needs to come up with a forthright way for these illegals to become citizens that isn’t a blanket anmestry.

Why? There are four million intending immigrants waiting their turn overseas to enter this country. They have completed all the paperwork, got background checks, etc. Why should we reward people who didn't play by the rules by allowing them to stay and work here? What happened to the Rule of Law? Fairness?

Most are religious—anti abortion people.

Black women are not alone in having disproportionately high unintended pregnancy and abortion rates. The abortion rate among Hispanic women, for example, although not as high as the rate among black women, is double the rate among whites. Hispanics also have a higher level of unintended pregnancy than white women.

Most don’t want a hand out (unlike other groups) Most want a chance to become part of the USA.

Hipanics use the welfare system to a much higher degree than non-Hispanic whites.

Great charts. What’s really dumb about Paul’s comment is that for some reason he’s trying to give the impression that conservatives aren’t accepting of Hispanics.

There is nothing farther from the truth. Americans are Hispanics, Italians, Germans, Africans, Scottish, Dutch, etc. We cherish our fellow citizens.

Conservatives already accept Hispanics and have for a long, long time.

We don’t accept illegally entering the country by anyone. We have immigration rules. Man up and get in the line with your number and await your turn. It’s the law. It’s the only thing that’s asked.

Paul only meaning can be that he wants us to embrace illegal behavior with open arms. That’s nuts.

Thanks for the data on Latinos scamming the system. The border must be closed! Even if it take a million men and a project to rival the Great Wall of China—the Border must be closed. Mines, machine guns, tank traps, what ever it takes. I would say take ten years with no border crossings—no people, no trucks, no products, until Mexico sorts out her problems. An iron curtain to keep out drugs, gangs and other problems!
