If you think black voters are monolithic because we all get together and decide what to do or who to vote for you are wrong! The reason we vote in large percentages for one party is because there are only two major parties and one implemented something called the southern strategy. Blacks would be voting against our interest if we voted to elect these people. To this day there are very few non-whites that set the Republican Party's strategy/agenda...
Nonsense, Shabazz, but that discussion is not the topic of this thread.
Maybe if the GOP lose enough presidential elections they will realize they need to drastically change their platform and push out the far right to be more attractive to voters.
In my lifetime Republicans have been in Office 9 times, Democrats 7 times.
Does anyone really look around this country anymore and say, 'you know what we need? More illiterate, uneducated illegals.' Who would support more of this same immigration policy except for their own already here? It's ashame politics will allow us to reach a point of no return due to political pandering
Ann Coulter looks like a drag queen who should have hung it up years ago.
Its funny how liberals act like they are all about "tolerance" and that there is nothing wrong with being a transgender or cross dressing, yet they still use it as an insult when its conservative women.
Well first of all, Hispanics are not a single monolithic group of people. Mexicans are not Cubans, and Salvadorans are not Puerto Ricans. Mexicans in the Southwest don't give a flying beep about Puerto Rican issues.
Puerto Ricans for instance are Americans. They don't give a s--t about illegal immigrants from Guatemala. Their concerns primarily revolve around the status issue, and normal American issues like the economy, healthcare, crime, etc. The Guatemalans on the other hand are more concerned with amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Hispanics are one of the fastest growing demographics in the country. In the next decade or so they will comprise a large portion of some conservative states like Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Those states will become swing states if the GOP continues to ignore or insult them which will imperil the GOP's chances of winning a national election.
And from what I have seen, the longer Hispanics have been in this country, the more Republican they get. My Mom's side of the family is Mexican and they have been here for generations, and they are business owners who vote Republican. My Mexican Grandma can't stand Obama. My Mom's parents were born in the US and her and her siblings all went to college. Their families are all well off. I think the longer the generations have been here, the more conservative it may get like I said. They are all against illegal immigration and have seen first hand the problems of illegal immigration with the crime, gangs, and poverty. I suspect it is the same way with many Mexican families. Those who may vote Democrat today, their kids and grandkids will be more integrated with American culture and less "culturally Mexican."
Wrong! The majority of Hispanics (excluding most Cubans and some Puerto Ricans) are pro-illegal immigration and pro-amnesty for their ethnic group. It is one of the top issues with them.

Immigration policy is determined by the federal government and they often take into consideration international opinion when formulating immigration policies. That often conflicts with what Americans want, which is more restrictive immigration. The US for example wants better relations with India but they have to loosen H1B restrictions since the Indians want that as a condition of better relations with the US. The US also has to not damage relations with Mexico which is why there is almost no crackdown on illegal immigration from Mexico since illegal immigrants in the US are a big source of revenues for Mexico.

You know I'm speaking truth to power, but as you said back to topic...
