Recall that Calif. Prop 187 passed with majority latino support (If memory serves, the final tally was 55% in favor). It's just that the loud mouths draw all the ink and airtime -- and media sympathy.A thread along these lines would be very worthwhile, John.
Are there other Latino Freepers with whom you've discussed this?
A side note: I dated an El Salvodoran woman a couple of years ago, a legal immigrant, who was doing everything right to naturalize. But she spoke through clenched teeth on Illegals.
Actually, the Latino numbers started out there in the Spring of '94, but went into the tank as the Democrats demagogued the GOP and Wilson as being anti-immigrant and racist. The betrayals of Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett during that campaign gave the Dems unwarranted credibility. I think they ended up aroun 28%.
I'll reserve comment at this time about President Bush's statements about #187, during his first run for governor of Texas.
