Part of the problem is that Conservatives and Republicans have done a poor job articulating their position on the number one issue among Hispanics - immigration.

While the vast majority of us are in favor of LEGAL immigration and against the illegal variety, the general feeling in the Hispanic community is that we’re against immigration, period, and as such means that we hate them and don’t want them here.

Couple that with the dims actively courting them and sucking up to them by supporting illegal immigration, it is unsurprising that Hispanics vote overwhelmingly for democrats.

Rather than giving up, we should be searching for a better way to get out the message that we actually DO like Hispanics and, if they’re willing to respect our laws and come into this country legally, we will welcome them here.

The litmus test on immigration is amnesty. The "Hispanic community" predominantly supports amnesty, which is against the Rule of Law, the basic foundation of our Republic.

We let too many journalists and politicians get away with using 'hispanic', 'illegal alien' and 'immigrant' as if they were interchangeable. They are not.
