“Come this November 4, Republicans may just wake up to the ugly reality that breaking up with American Latinos over immigration was an easily avoidable and ultimately very costly divorce.”
Let me see, Romney kind of pro immigration...just how much of the hispanic vote did he get. Hummm.
Meanwhile, seems I recall a poll sometime back wherein CITIZEN hispanics were not enthoused with “reform”. Lastly, why would someone having difficulty getting a job find more immigration a happy event?
Just some thoughts.
In other words, let me rob your house or I’ll burn it down.
Frankly Fernando, you're more connected to your distant ethnic cousins than you are to America. And to criticize appeasing simpering RINOs about their lack of action is actually funny.
They're more than willing to capitulate to your 'connection' with these illegals than they are to the founding principles of this country. They don't understand it, but with the misguided notion to try and get your elusive vote (that will NEVER come) they're still 'trying' by damn.
They're willing to give up our sovereignty, our economy and our future to appease you, you twit. Screw you. Go back to your distant homeland if you don't like it.
Since illegals can’t vote (right???), and law-abiding Latino citizens (the ones who went to the trouble of following the law), sort of resent the freeloaders, what’s the problem for the Pubbies? Unless of course illegals DO vote. But they don’t right?
Republicans need to reach out to Hispanics.
But not by selling out on Immigration.
We need to be for jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
Not in China. Not in Europe. Not in Africa, or South America. Not in Australia.
Not jobs in Korea. Not anywhere else.
We need to be for AMERICAN JOBS.
The Republican Party needs to be for American jobs.
Now.
The American government should be working for the benefit of AMERICAN CITIZENS! Those Hispanics that are here legally need to join the family of the greater American population, including adopting English, rather than acting as if they were the first wave of an Hispanic invasion.
Not to worry. Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and McCain are rushing to help shore up the GOPe’s huge Hispanic base, in time for the elections to be lost in November.
The author makes an assumption that all American Latinos want our borders thrown wide and all illegal aliens—at least those that are Latino—amnestied. Where’s the evidence of that? Some American Latinos may want amnesty. It might even be most of them, but I bet a sizable number put America first and do not want to import more crime and poverty.
The author also uses the well worn race card. Well, I’m a Republican, and I have absolutely nothing against American Latinos in general. I don’t like those who aid and abet non-American Latinos who come and stay here in violation of the law, but I’m glad to have American Latino neighbors who follow the law and put America first.
Finally, the author claims Republicans don’t have a consistent police on immigration. I have to agree with that to the extent I don’t support those Republicans who want to reward illegality by letting illegal aliens stay. I do, however, believe there’s a consistent immigration policy in this country, and it’s written into the law. Let’s try actually enforcing that before we claim it doesn’t work.
Hmmm. Latinos want work, so won’t like losing future opportunity. They’re very family oriented. They’re 70 percent of growth of US Catholics since 1960. They’re conservatives at heart, IMHO.
The article is progressive cognitive dissonance on parade, yet again.
RE: They’re 70 percent of growth of US Catholics since 1960. They’re conservatives at heart, IMHO.
Catholics and Conservatives ehh? How many percent of abortions and out of wedlock marriages in this country are from the Latino community?
Also... George H.W. Bush received about 30% of the hispanic vote in 1988, just two years removed from the 1986 amnesty law. If the GOP was "married" to the mexicans back then, those mexis weren't being exactly faithful to the relationship.
The Mexican descended families I know living here for 2 or more generations are not for amnesty. Morons make the assumption that because they speak Spanish they think Spanish.
First off I did not realize we were ever in a relationship with Hispanics???? Suddenly we republicans have broken up with them.
Aren’t we - those of us here legally, Americans? If you come here to become an American then actually be one and be treated like everyone else - you are not special just because you are of hispanic origin and therefore should not get special treatment.
Is being American an ethnic group? If so can I be Ethnic American? What do I get for free? Currently I get a bunch of freeloaders I have to support.
Even posting this tics me off - spell check underlines hispanic - apparently it is supposed to be capitalized. I must be racist since I did not. Thanks spellcheck for confirming my racist tendencies!
So why would the line in sand for them be immigration?
Oh yeah, the overwhelming majority of invaders is Hispanic. So in reality it is not ‘conservatism’ that they identity with but ethnicity.
Imagine that.
Culture is determinative. The American Culture is based upon Judeo-Christianity, the Founding Documents, and the sovereign individual citizen living a life or personal responsibility on his own property where he/she is secure in person & property.
Messican ‘Culture’ is predicated upon a mix of Spanish Christianity laced with a lot of Islam due to Spain's 700 years of being a conquered, slave state under Muslim rule. Factor in the violent and brutal stone age cannibalism of the “Indigenous Peoples (Inca, Maya, ad nauseam) and one has the origins of, and an explanation for, Messican culture and the often brutally criminal behavior of Messicans.
Culture IS determinative and Americans do not want anything to do with Mexican culture, despite Jebbie Boosh’s “illegal immigration is an act of love”. Latrinos are easily identified, and a small minority. As such, they are going to lose any direct confrontation with White America. Same applies to Blacks and Muslims. Those minorities seem unable to understand the first rule of Genocide - "Make sure you are in the majority." Perhaps their behavior is consequential to their IQ relative to the whites.
To the author: You’re a fracking racist! Go to hell!
If Hispanics want to see what it’s like being married to the Democrat party, they should take a real close look at the Blacks who have done so well in America thanks to the Democrat party.
Yes, my brother in law who is 100% Mexican extraction from El Paso is a total conservative and he has no use for the illegals. His family was in Texas before it was a Republic. He is an American and has no sympathy for Mexican nationals breaking into our country.
The GOP needs to just concentrate on getting out the 6 million Republicans who stayed home in 2012 and geting the majority of the independent vote and they will be winners. The black vote is a waste of effort and as has been pointed out the illegals are not supposed to be voting.
