I read many of FITZ's posts, and he is frequently careful to distinguish between Latino citizens, legal immigrants, and illegals.
Check out his post at #75 on this thread:
I also live near the border and have Hispanic friends and Hispanic doctors etc. The problem is --- someone like Sanchez didn't have a chance before the recent massive immigration of people from Mexico ---who are not the same type of people at all as the long-time Hispanic citizens of the US. Most of the Conservatives of Mexico abandoned Mexico at the time of the Revolution. Those are very good conservative people. Mexico is mostly a Socialist country and these new arrivals like Socialism quite a bit. Hispanics voted in higher percentages for Reagan than for Bush because the conservative votes are being diluted out.
Dane, the broad brush and hysteria are yours... again.
No Sabey, the hysteria comes from you and Fitz. No one has argued against the fact that Sanchez won a primary with a very low turnout spending $18 million of his own money. He should have gotten 90% of the vote. He didn't.
JMO, but you all have a knee jerk reaction(which the demo's and the press exploit) when faced with a candidate with a Spanish surname.
