I agree fair shake for everyone. The government should opperate only with blind folds.

I agree that this is what the government must do, but the political parties approach Hispanics from two directions.

The Democrats insist that Hispanics behave like blacks, as a monolithic voting block that does not tolerate dissension, aka, the “Democrat Plantation”. Democrats hate the idea of individualism, and only want to treat people as existing in heterogeneous groups. This is how they think of “the Hispanic vote”.

The Republicans need to adopt a message that appeals to a majority of Hispanics as *individuals*, while fully aware that many Hispanics have conservative values, so are not easily distinguished from other conservatives. That is, their major issues are conservative, not Hispanic.

This translates to “giving conservative Hispanics what conservatives want”, while treating them fairly, not patronizing them, in other ways.

I have seen a problem here, in past, of some conservatives who have fallen into that same trap as Democrats, of thinking of Hispanics, Americans and illegals, as a monolithic bloc. But I point out to them a few facts.

1) Some Hispanics want to become citizens, are (very) hard working, pay taxes, join the military, have strong conservative and family values, neither take nor want to take government largess, and try to rapidly integrate into America society as good citizens. Conservatives should embrace them with open arms as not just good, but great for America in many ways.

But there is no effective way for them to become citizens in a reasonable amount of time, while in the US. To have to spend 20 years in another country just to legally immigrate here is intolerable.

At the same time, there are lots of worthless and criminal Hispanics who come here solely to abuse America and Americans. The US should buy a Devil’s Island to deport them to, as they are pests and parasites wherever they live. They do not want citizenship, or integration, or honest employment, and should be given the boot with all due speed. They exclusively vote Democrat.
