This is the third poll of legal Hispanics that I have seen on the subject of amnesty/pathway-to-citizenshiip.

All three have reported 2-to-1 majorities against the idea!

Accordingly, if the Republicans want to make inroads among Hispanic voters, their course is clear -- stand firmly against amnesty!

The Texas elections last Fall are proof of this proposition. The Republicans were most strongly against amnesty performed the best among Hispanic voters. Indeed, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick actually won a majority of the Hispanic vote -- and his opponent was a "wise Latina"!

This has always been the case. Citizens of every category want the illegal alien inundation stopped.

It was true in 2008 when the GOP just HAD to have an amnesty candidate. They are purposely thwarting the will of the people.
Republican candidates do win if they run against illegal aliens, but they mostly will not do it where it matters most, for President. The guy who can actually stop the illegal alien inundation.

Because they are being paid by The Cheap Labor Express to not stop it.

Are you sure about that, Okie?

“Latino Decisions,” a national Hispanic polling organization based in Dallas, had Republican Dan Patrick losing to the “wise Latina” by 68%-29%.

http://www.latinodecisions.com/files/4414/1520/8142/Latino_Election_Eve_Poll_November_2014_State_Results.pdf

Latino Decisions does not do election day exit polling. The numbers above come from their election eve telephone poll.

It's certainly possible that election day polls are more accurate than election eve polls, but Latino Decisions is very well respected. Only the Pew Hispanic Center polls are considered more accurate than Latino Decisions, and Pew did not poll on this particular race.

According to the Latino Decisions election eve poll, every big name Republican in Texas lost the Hispanic vote decisively in 2014...

Senator Cornyn lost: 69%-30%
Rep. George P. Bush lost: 62%-33%
Gov. Greg Abbot lost: 68%-32%
