Big jump in Latino registration for Democrats unlikely to turn Arizona blue

The number of Latinos registering to vote as Democrats in Arizona has jumped from 100 a week to 500 in the seven weeks since a tough new immigration law was adopted, The Arizona Republic reports.

The newspaper says many of those registering are young Latino citizens whose parents may be undocumented.

But, the newspaper says, the electoral impact may not be as great as in California after passage of a GOP-sponsored ballot initiative in 1994 to clamp down on illegal immigration by prohibiting undocumented people from receiving health care, public education and other services.

That measure, which was later declared unconstitutional, is widely viewed as solidifying California's growing Latino population as Democratic and tipping the then-Republican state to a solidly Democratic one, the newspaper says.

But such a shift is less likely in Arizona, the newspaper notes, because the Latino vote is lower than in California and there are also fewer non-Hispanics with whom to ally to overturn the state's traditional conservative voting pattern.

Arizona also does not have the large unions to help organize the Latino vote as in California, The Republic says.

Yeah and we all know how well CA is doing with all that illegal immigration.

Does AZ require i.d. to register to vote? I wonder how many of the newly registered are here legally.

The Democratic party WANTS the United States to become Estados Unidos. And that is what LaRaza wants too - it's the age long Spanish - English Feud. It is so obvious. if we are not careful one day a congressman/woman or Senator will usher in Spanish language civil rights with a declaration in one of the chambers, in Spanish and declare that it is time to recognize that Spanish is here to stay etc etc etc

Yet another big reason to end the anchor baby scam, and make it retroactive.

young latino children of illegal aliens DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE! This is travesty in its highest form! this must stop. illegals are literally holding the LAW ABIDING american citizens hostages.

The Hispanic birthrate is much higher than any other group of people in this country; many of these kids are citizen anchor babies which translates into future voters for the Democratic Party. This country needs to get serious very quickly about ending anchor baby citizenship and reporting and deporting these illegal alien moms when they show up demanding free, non emergency prenatal care.

And interestingly enough, the birth rate among Mexican women is higher in the U.S. than in Mexico. Guess they can afford more babies here, and get paid for it too.
