"Antonio Villaraigosa, says Republican efforts to use Latino speakers at the GOP national
convention to win over Latino voters won't work."

He's right though -- 70% of the hispanic votes will vote democrat no matter what. Just like they always voted for the PRI party, they are a one party type of people.

He's wrong though about hispanics being a monolith -- there are some hispanics who work for a living, pay taxes, are American citizens and law abiding.

Of course most hispanics are good hardworking people. None of that is disputed. However, it's the huge numbers of people of all races and ethnicities that are threatening to overwhelm those of us who are working that has myself among others wondering just how long this crap can continue.

I would like to point out the numbers and depth of republican minority candidates and politicians have one thing in common.........their support comes primarily from.........nasty ol' white folk. It's remarkable when you think about it.

The point is -- those who are law-abiding citizens, and pay taxes may not have all those separate "hispanic" issues like unlimited immigration from hispanic nations and rewarding all those who come here illegally. They might vote with issues like jobs and better pay and lower taxes in mind. Those who own businesses might vote for better conditions for businesses.

They are not the monolith voting bloc some like to believe who care only about unlimited immigration of their ethnic group.
