“Anti-immigrant” is not “anti-Hispanic.”
Does the census estimate how many of those self identified Hispanic Coloradans are immigrants?
See, the R party loves the Hispanic voters. As long as they are not illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants can be Hispanic, or Russian or African or Canadian. They’re not all HIspanic. You just think they are.
The majority of currently active, vocal R’s are singularly of one mind – illegal immigrants come from south of the border and are Hispanic. Other nationalities are incidental to their cause.
I think he’s being sarcastic.
🙂
Problem is I’ve heard far too much BS in their meetings, i.e.
.
This is Madco so sarcasm goes without saying.
And then when I ask about the Aussie, Peruvian, German, English, Canadian, Chinese, African, Russian or Indian neighbors, I get blank stares.
I hope the GOP will hire the dirty, illegal Canadian and Russian immigrants to built the facilities (e.g., rail cars) that are necessary to ship those wetbacks back to MГ©xico forthwith.
If the r party loves the Hispanic voters, then why is the r party so virulently anti-labor? Seems like a strange way to express your love for a group with thousands of union members in Colorado.
If it has to be explained, you are just not getting it.
I can probably guess the answer, but I would like to see statistics on how many of those new Hispanic residents are registered to vote as Democrats – particularly in El Paso County. And, what percentage of people that identify as Hispanic consider themselves “anti-immigration”?
Again, I my intuition tells me that most Hispanics side with Democrats on the immigration issue, but without proof I’m not sure we can say that, without a doubt, more Hispanics equals more Democratic votes.
Which is safe to say that they are more than likely children or grandchildren of immigrants. So I would bet that with Repubs lining up hard and fast against bills like ASSET and pushing Voter id and AZ type nonsense that yeah, they are going to rally with the Democrats.
voted for Bush and other Rs because of wedge issues that appealed to their social conservatism on religious issues but the Rs have pretty much blown that brief shift up by coming across not just as anti-illegal immigrant but as just plain hateful bigots.
Do we have a county stratification of ethnicity yet?
Be curious to know how many, and what percentage, of the population in El Paso County is hispanic.
Also, how are active duty military counted? Are they counted for their homes of record or where they are on active duty when the census is taken?
The census bureau website has an extensive reporting tool called the American FactFinder which will break things out for you.
El Paso county has a total population of 622,263; of that, 93,665 or 15% say they’re Hispanic.
… it’s even worse!
who already vote Democratic!
should enjoy their state House majority while they can, because come 2012 it’s not likely to survive.
It’s true that Hispanics, at least in some states, seem not to vote to same extent as Caucasians in those states, and it’s also true that not all Hispanics will vote Democratic.
However, in a presidential year, especially one in which Obama will seem far more appealing than whatever winger gets put up by the right, enough of Colorado’s newly-arrived and citizen Hispanics will likely pull the lever for the Democrats to dash GOP hopes of a resurgence.
