“The same Latinos who voted overwhemongly for the biggest Marxist this country has ever seen, despite McCain working harder than anyone to try and pass an amnesty bill?
Why the heck would Republicans give two hoots what the Latinos think?”
Exactly.
The problem is that there are many types of Latinos.
In parts of the Southwest, there are Latinos, mostly of Mexican origin, who are as American as apple pie and have been in this country for many generations. They tend to at least lean conservative.
Then, you have recent Mexican and Central American immigrants, who are typically accepting of government corruption, and usually vote Dem, if legal, and often if not.
Cuban immigrants are overwhelmingly conservative (in comparison) and generally support the US and it’s laws...
Puerto Ricans, first off are US citizens anyway, and tend to be politically somewhere between the Mexican/Central American and Cuban population. However, most Puerto Ricans I know aren’t big fans of illegals.
