53,000 Latinos Turn 18 Every Month

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Just heard that on the news. Those are American-born Latinos, btw. I'm assuming some are children of parents who aren't here legally, or weren't when the kids were born.

I don't know how that compares with other demographics but conventional wisdom holds that Hispanics breed faster than whites.

Can Republicans really continue to be wrong on immigration?

Is it time for Spanish to be the official language of the US?

Easy. Suppress their votes. Yay, Party of "Freedom!"

Well that's certainly been a strong element in the GOP approach but you'd think that would backfire at some point.

Trump wants to outlaw Muslim people and he gets twice as much support as his next closest competitor. Clearly the GOP doesn't care about backfires.

Wait a second. You just point out the disaster of illegal aliens changing our culture, but then ask how Americans can continue to be wrong on immigration? Now I see why you are a liberal.

Imagine if Trump would have made that statement.

How do American-born voters get suppressed? Who has advocated that and by what means?

illegal aliens changing our culture

Culture? You mean being quirky and eating hamburgers?

 

[pablow]

Well on a bright note - the Muslims are sure making the Hispanic immigrants look like a gift from heaven.

When did I point out the "disaster of illegal aliens changing our culture"?

 

[markfromj]

The same 53,000 each month?

Maybe he thinks that demographics and culture are the same thing.

WHITE POWER!

You serious? Where have you been during the whole voter ID thing?

Really? Are you denying that it is a comprehensive plan on the part of Republicans to suppress voter turnout?

The Republican House Majority Leader in Pennsylvania said that voter ID laws in that state could, "deliver the state to Mitt Romney". Voter laws in North Carolina eliminated voting on Sunday, suppressing predominately black church voter drives. They made it harder for college students to register to vote. They eliminated same day voter registration. All of these are targeted at predominately Democratic voter populations.

Texas allows gun permits to serve as ID's, but not state issued college identification. Again, targeting predominately Democratic voters. Republicans have acknowledged that they seek to make it more difficult to vote, but are not suppressing the vote...Really?

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Imagine if Trump would have made that statement.

Yep. Liberals can get away with it. We've earned that right. Which is why I did it.

All of that and more. Blacks are arrested and convicted at higher rates and many states take away voting rights from felons or those in prison. And let's not forget the blatant voter rolls purges (most famously in Florida in 2000). Then there are the voting districts that have closures, too few working voting machines, delayed delivery of ballots, and so on. Then there are the voting stations in black areas with a large, visible presence of cops.

And more and more.

I'm not saying that the Ds don't play games, too. But the Rs are masters at it and clearly winning that battle.

You either care about these things or you don't. I do. Way too many cons don't.

How so?

 

[cndyman]

How so?

I'm interested in that answer as well.......

I've been voting in local, state and national elections for 30 years.......it's never been "hard" to vote......ever. When did the left make voting seem like quantum physics? When you guys do all this complaining.....you make your voters seem like idiots that need their hand held at every turn. I guess if the shoe fits.

According to all the surveys I have seen, immigration is not even a top five concerns among Hispanics. They are like all Americans. More concerned with jobs, economic growth and the economic welfare of the country. They are also very much in favor of choice in education.

Education, the income gap, and healthcare. Those are the issues Latinos care more about. None of those sound like winning issues for the GOP.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

How so?

By being consistently right on most civil rights and human rights issues.

See how that works?

So that earned you some credit to make bigoted statements about a race?

Mighty white of you.

Yes, it is mighty white of me. But, no, I didn't earn credit to make bigoted remarks. From me, they aren't bigoted. What I and other consistent defenders of civil and human rights have earned is the presumption that we are not making a bigoted remark, even if it might come across that way.

Let's pretend for a moment that your view-of-self isn't extremely pretentious.

So, all Hispanics would agree that "Hispanics breed faster than whites."? They wouldn't get offended?

...and if they did you would just cite your accomplishments in the field of civil rights defense and make it all better.

That sounds like some impressive "Whitesplaining".
