Thread: A Latino GOP Majority?

Not in this lifetime, and whether or not Republicans support an amnesty won't be changing that.

"Maribel Nunez, a few weeks ago: "If Republicans want the presidency in 2012, they would have to support the DREAM Act; otherwise they could start saying goodbye to power, since they will not have the Latino vote."

Excuse me? You must have flunked your math classes Maribel because last I checked the number of voters who are against amnesty way out numbered the voters who are for it. You need to get your figures straight Maribel and quit trying to bully the American people to serve your own agenda because it will only backfire on you like it did last November.

The Myth Of Hispanic Conservative Legions In Waiting

The special interest groups that ceaselessly attempt to obtain some form of amnesty for millions of illegal aliens have their work cut out for them, for at least the next two years. The incoming Congress is decidedly more conservative than the last. Therefore, it is a safe guess that the next twenty two months will be filled with admonishments similar to the one that was mouthed by DREAM Act advocate Maribel Nunez, a few weeks ago: "If Republicans want the presidency in 2012, they would have to support the DREAM Act; otherwise they could start saying goodbye to power, since they will not have the Latino vote."

Ms. Nunez is hardly alone in having made this assertion. Indeed, at different times, the notion that the GOP must support some amnesty plan to woo Hispanic voters has been suggested by Larry Elder, Colin Powell, Newt Gingrich and Abel Maldonado ... along with many others. It's a common argument, and it also happens to be flat-out wrong.

Here's Reality Number 1 - Republicans will continue to get a minority of Hispanic votes, whether they oppose or support "comprehensive immigration reform."


And not only is this true now, it will be well into the future; no person reading this article in 2011 will likely ever experience otherwise. Further, this will probably remain true for the forseeable future despite whatever wars, recessions, natural disasters, groundbreaking technological discoveries or economic upswings may be headed our way in the coming decades.

This current state of affairs exists because ...

Reality Number 2 - Americans usually vote their pocketbooks and Hispanics, on the average, earn less than other Americans. They commonly need exactly the type of taxpayer funded goodies to subsidize their families, that Democrats so enthusiastically hand out.


Because the bulk of the Latino population in the U.S. has been derived from chain migration policies and unlawful entry/residency, we have millions of newly arrived Have Nots and their offspring. For a quarter century, we have been importing the impoverished and undereducated. After all, it's not the Mexican and El Salvadorean investment bankers, doctors, accountants, office managers and college professors who have been surreptitiously skittering north across Arizona deserts. And because of abysmal high school and college graduation rates, their overall socioeconomic status will not be changing any time soon.


Latinos, as a group, will mostly remain loyal to "progressive" candidates and it will have practically nothing to do with cultural or social values, religious orientation, concerns of "racism," or just about anything else you can name. It's going to be all about the green and how to get it. So the Republicans can campaign in Spanish, make nauseating speeches in front of National Council of La Raza audiences, appear at Cinco De Mayo festivals and pander in any fashion they see fit. It will all be largely for naught because the one area in which they'll never be able to match Democrats' street cred, is the success with which they give away other people's money.

It would appear that some latinos are willing to distort their numbers, as well as their perceived voting influence, in order to further their amnesty agendas! The fact remains that latinos, as a voting block, will never vote GOP because they are too dependent on big government and the social programs that party endorses in order to appease their constituency.

ROFLMBO Maribel, you are incredible naive or stupid. Guess the "Latino vote" wasn't much help in this last election, was it? Ya know the one where the Dems took a major butt-whooping?

Better stop drinking the kool-aid and lay off whatever wacky-tabaky you've been smoking girlfriend, for WE the PEOPLE are awake and PISSED off!

NO amnesty, not now, not ever! Pack up and slither back where you came from!

Any latinos that do not like living in the US are free to leave if it doesn't meet their racist agenda

hispanic citizens are free to leave and illegals won't have a choice

We will not allow this country to become an ethnocentric hispanic sewer any time soon.

Elected officals are supposed to represent all Americans no matter what ethnic origin. The Latino Community has come out in a very threatening and devisive manner. All they are succeeding in doing is wakening up Americans to their agenda. The takeover and control of our government. Everything for their ethnic origin, or else.

Ditto that. But in some ways, I hope they keep it up. Just like the mexican flag waving in American's faces....keeping adding more fuel to the fire to out of work Americans and see how many more wake up PO'ed!

Our lives are NOT better with illegals being here! Some crack politician head isn't gonna tell me that having 100K MS-13 gang members here is good. Don't tell me that the small town I grew up in better off now that they have to lock their doors and not go out late for fear of being mugged or worse. Don't tell that to the family member who lost of loved one due to a drunk IA! Stop trying to force the "Kook-aid" down because we aren't drinking it.

Exactly. I actually love when they get out and protest. It does nothing but greatly help our cause. The 2006 demonstrations were probably the best things that ever happened to our movement. Its almost as if we planned, organized, and paid for huge demonstrations for our cause. They save us the trouble and hand it to us for free

About courting the "latino vote." It is a futile attempt for the Reps, as the article said. Besides, all they would have to do is pick up a very small % of their traditional base to equal enormous gains in ethnocentric latinos. Which is easier?
