Oh that one. How does prohibiting illegal aliens from using health care, public education, and other social services in the U.S. State of California equate to hating Latino citizens?

Cubans now tend to skew more Democratic 1) in the younger age groups and 2) the farather away they get away from Florida, which is influenced by émigré politics w/r/t Castro (or anti-Castroism). So demographically, they aren't staying GOP as the old émigré anti-Communist generation passes.

Your comment alluding to illegal foreign Latinos is even sillier. First of all, the "illegals" aren't the ones with political or economic clout back home to "make a mess of it" - rather, they are fleeing economic destitution because of policies made by the elites in those countries. I haven't seem too many illegal immigrants who are political elites come to the US to do menial work.

And undocumented immigrants aren't eligible for most if not all social benefits. They are here to work, and contrary to your ignorant caricature of them as freeloaders, they pay Taxes, and will put in money into the SS system without being able to draw on the benefits.
Illegal aliens can get all kinds of benefits through their U.S. born kids. They have no right to work in this country and they don't pay enough taxes to cover their social costs. Consider any SS they pay into the system as helping to pay off the enormous costs that they incur in our country. They are displacing Americans on blue-collared jobs. Does any of this matter to you?

Illegal aliens NEED to STAY illegal. Too, birthright citizenship needs to stopped unless at least 1 parent is a US citizen and DNA testing if there's any question.

Not wanting to bankrupt and transform California into a 3rd world nation equate to hate. saying no and being of sound mind and reason is racism, the left only feels they can not think.

Ironic, you live in a city with a Spanish name, yet you whine about Hispanic culture.

so if it always has been multicultural how could it be a white nation?
