If House Republicans insist on sealing the border and blocking ObamaCare and other entitlements to current illegal immigrants before any legalization process can begin, how will U.S. Latino voters react? Will it trigger a backlash against Republicans or will Latinos accept the conditions willingly?
A new survey just released by McLaughlin & Associates and organized and funded by California GOP activist John Jordan indicates they will happily endorse the Republican amendments.
o be sure, 86 percent of U.S. Latino voters back an immigration reform plan that includes a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. But, their support for reform does not stop them from wanting tougher border enforcement to stop further illegal immigration. By 60-35, Hispanic voters want tougher border enforcement. Asked about specific measures like fencing, more agents, drone surveillance and other steps to strengthen border enforcement, Latino voters approve 55-42.
In addition, they are willing to hold up legalization efforts until they get it. When McLaughlin asked U.S. Latino voters if they would support or oppose legislation that granted legal status but only did so after 90 percent of illegal immigration was prevented, they approved by 60-34.
And, by a margin of 56-40, Latino voters would oppose granting current illegal immigrants access to federal benefits, including ObamaCare, “while they are going through the legalization process and until the 90 percent goal is reached.”
The survey revealed an interesting fault line between currently registered U.S. Latino voters and those who are here legally but are not voters and/or citizens.
atino voters ranked immigration reform fourth on a list of four issues in importance to them. The economy ranked first or second in importance for 63 percent, while 57 percent cited healthcare and 45 percent said education was either their first or second priority.

” GOP does not realize legals hate illegals...go one step at a time Border first...”
The GOP DOES realize it. They are lying to us, just like Hillary lied about the video. No difference.
They LIE.
The Toe Sucker is dreaming again. Latinos who are already "impelled by their social conservatism, faith in the family, abhorrence of debt and suspicion of government handouts" is among the 30% or so of them already voting GOP. Close to 100% of that 30% are already here legally.
Laws don’t matter to democrats.
Once the illegals gained any sort of legal resident status what is going to stop a democrat president (or RINO) from bypassing all milestones and safeguards?
Why are some republicans so eager to add another 11 to 30 million hispanic voters to the hispanic “community” that reliably votes 60% to 80% democrat?
You gotta see this one.
See post#3.
I suppose that is encouraging, but my question is, by whom, and how, will this 90% be measured?
Hey, how about a "Border Surge"? Do the initials of that buzz phrase mean something else? There might just be an opportunity for a con game.
Border integrity will help them with Hispanic voters.
it will never be enforced except foe handouts
Thanks Hojczyk.
Thanks sick - interesting stuff...
