Yeah, because every Latino voter is getting government entitlements. This is why we come off so poorly to minorities.
I've lived in California since 1953. I grew up in the South Bay of L.A. County. I look at my high school yearbook and notice the hundreds of fellow classmates of a student body of around 2,000 who had Hispanic surnames. Out of maybe 300, only two were referred to as being Mexicans. One was actually a legal immigrant from Mexico and the other a good friend of mine who was a first generation natural born citizen of Mexican decent. He wasn't looked upon being Mexican until the 1970's when he got involved with the LaRaza movement.
There was no such thing as a Mexican-American during the 60's or early 70's because there were no hyphenated-Americanism before the "New Left" took control of the Democrat party. Those Americans of Mexican decent who got caught up in the LaRaza movement and never got out of East L.A. or the other barrios around So.Cal. were looked upon as being Mexican. They never assimilated into America's society.
There was the "Pachuco's" (1920's -1940's) who were 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation Americans of Mexican decent who looked upon themselves not being American or Mexican. Except in Wilmington, California today, the Pachuco is no more. That was decided during the "Zoot Suit Riots" on the streets of L.A. during WW ll. The American soldiers and sailors won, the Pachuco lost.
Of the hundreds of Latinos I personally known or still know who are 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th generation Americans of Mexican decent, I would say the vast majority are registered Republicans.
The majority of naturalized Americans of Mexican or Central American decent I personally know who were awarded for breaking our laws amnesty or their anchor babies tend to be registered Democrats and vote the Democrat ticket. They brought their politics with them. They hate law enforcement and believe that it's the responsibility of government to see that they move up the social ladder while they faced the "Crab Menatality" of their fellow immigrant neighbors.
The vast majority of illegal aliens who were awarded amnesty since 1986, the vast majority of the anchor babies who because of the misinterpretation of the lVX Amendment, chain migration immigration laws, became American citizens and their off spring tend to be Democrats who never have assimilated into America's culture and believe that government is responsible for their success in society, free stuff.
Before the invasion from the South that started during the early 1970's , the Hispanic population of America was 7%. Because of illegal immigration and chain migration laws, most of today's Hispanic population can be traced back to illegal immigration.
