Prop 187 exposed some nasty faultlines in the CA GOP.

A Hispanic gentleman--rather conservative--who was active in the local party spoke out against 187 on a number of grounds, including the most obvious issue of federal supremacy on immigration issues.

His reward was a guy shouting from the back of the room, "GO BACK TO TIAJUANA, MOJADO!"

The worst part was almost every other person in the audience standing and cheering.

The guy speaking? He changed his registration the next day to USTP. He also urged everyone he knew to either vote against GOP candidates or to just stay home--and he got more than a few people to follow him.

Yup, we're dead--cause of death: self-inflicted gunshot wound to the foot.

His reward -- almost every other person in the audience standing and cheering.

The worst part -- one guy shouts some ethnic slur.

This hispanic guy and you have a lot in common -- his reaction and your description. Surrounded by short term negatives, ya both don't see the positive evolution of freedom. For every statist hispanic immigrant of differing legalities, their is a multitude of second and third generation hispanics who will, as the future unfolds, vote for freedom.
