This is where he's wrong. The Democrats always think in monolithic "group" terms. There are many proud, Hispanic Americans who became citizens the legal way who are not in favor of illegal immigration or amnesty. One can just look at the results of the anti-illegal immigration referenda in California to see that a large portion of Hispanic Americans do not support illegal aliens, even if they are Hispanic.
The hopes of the ILLEGAL Latino community are pinned to immigration reform, but these persons are not supposed to have a vote.
“but these persons are not supposed to have a vote”
The real issue.
I saw a bumper sticker a few weeks back that read,
"I am not a Latino, I am not a Hispanic, I am an American."
The sticker highlighted the Stars and Stripes.
I believe the person who placed such a bumper sticker on their auto would fully agree with your statements.
