No problem. The government deserves all the harshly worded criticism we can pile on them for this. It's unacceptable. But whatever you say, make sure that it cannot be construed as insensitive toward Latinos.
Extremely dumb move. The vast majority of illegal immigrants will NEVER vote for a Conservative, much less a Republican.
Illegals can't vote -- at least, not legally. If we can open the door a crack like I indicated above, and speak on these issues in a more sensitive way toward Latinos, we can take away the Democrats' most powerful talking point: their lie that we are racists.
I'm out here in the western suburbs of Chicago and we're surrounded by perfectly legal, conservative Latinos who are in this country legally and on a path to citizenship. They shake their heads in sadness at the way Democratic Party operatives are getting over on us with this. Basically, in their hearts Latinos are born conservatives. We have to reach out to them and take what belongs to us.
You're over-stating the case.
Middle class Latinos, no question.
Lower class Latinos, not so much.
But you could say the same thing about Anglos...
Problem is, a disproportionate share of the Latino population is less than middle class.
40 years ago the evil Kennedy was part of the effort to import illegals. The evil left is only using the illegals for power and control. The evil left only wants their votes.
If we had a proper immigration process, we would have had an orderly way to have millions of immigrants with the values you describe come to our Country.
The RATS know exactly what they are doing. They are out to destroy our Republic and make it into a Socialist H*ll.
Rubio is a idiot fool to think any immigration plan being developed will benefit our Republic. The Rats would never allow that. The RATS know clearly the cultural and vote preferences of illegals.
