Good I'm liking them more already. Now if we could just get rid of birthright citizenship and benefits for non-citizens I'd like them even more.

Keep attacking them, keep insulting them, and keep scapegoating them for our nation's problems and they will show up ... and when they do the results are not going to be pretty for the angry old White men GOP.

You have it completely backwards. They and their country are invading and attacking us and scapegoating us. Not to mention Mexico has received a lot of our industry. My TV was made in Mexico, my refrigerator and other appliances, much of the automotive etc.

Same old, same old from you.

I'm of Hispanic descent and no one is "insulting" me. Nor is anyone "scapegoating" me either.

It's quite surprising that you are unaware that not all Hispanics are illegals (and yes, illegals, no matter where in the world they are from, are a huge part of "our nation's problems").

As for the Hispanics that are American citizens (both born and naturalized), they aren't a monolith that votes in lockstep with La Raza. In other words, they all don't want open borders and amnesty.

"The angry old white men" thing again from you. You say you are a republican. If you truly are, then you would know that the GOP isn't just made up of "angry old white men".

Being of Hispanic descent, any politician who thinks that s/he will get my vote by promising amnesty and open borders, is seriously deluded. If anything, I will vote for the candidate who wants to secure our borders and put an end to illegal immigration.

I've been saying for a while now black voter turnout will be far more impacting than hispanic voter turnout will be because the black voting bloc is concentrated in states where battlegrounds set up(Florida, NC, Virginia, Ohio).

If blacks don't turn up to vote, that will give the GOP a chance to win those states.

I'm leaning towards Trump for that very reason, but my other two favorites of all the GOP candidates are Cruz and Rubio. Go figure.

Technically, they aren't supposed to be doing this in building, but my boss and the board approve and turn a blind eye. None of them will be voting for the GOP.
