Little hope for GOP on immigrants, study shows; legalization won’t change wave

An influx of immigrants has boosted the Democratic Party, and that trend is set to continue. Even in places where Republicans support legalization of illegal immigrants, the party hasn’t been able to stem those changes, according to a study being released Tuesday. James Gimpel, a professor at the University of Maryland, said in a report being released by the Center for Immigration Studies that many of those in the recent wave of immigrants trail native-born Americans on education and skills and favor a broader scope for government action, which makes them “ideal recruits for the Democratic Party.”

The harder task is to assimilate immigrants and their children.

One of my parents was a (legal) Mexican immigrant, and I can tell you that you're wrong.

You can't do immigration out of Latin America, in the manner that we've been doing it, - every single year, and not wind up with a voting block that skews to the left.

Year in, and year out, the majority of Latin American immigrants come from the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder.

And those type of Hispanics, both here as well as throughout Latin America itself, wind up voting for left-of-center/liberal candidates on election day.
