Hispanics have been a solid voting block for the Democrats in past elections, can Republicans finally break through to the Hispanic community in the 2016 presidential election? If not it's not for the lack of heavy hitters from within their own community. Texas senator Ted Cruz although born Canadian is of Cuban descent and is the first Hispanic or Cuban to serve as a United States Senator and serving along with Ted Cruz in the United States Senate is Florida Senator Marco Rubio also Cuban and one of only three Latinos counting himself and Cruz to ever serve in the United States Senate and then there's Jeb Bush who In speaking engagements often identifies himself as Hispanic, although that's a stretch his wife Columba is Mexican born and their three children are half Mexican and last but not least is Dr Ben Carson although African American is the only Republican candidate in the field that took time to speak to (NALEO) the largest Latino policy-making organization in the nation and now my take on this. I think many Republican candidates have shied away from the Hispanic community thinking it is a lost cause because of their stance on immigration I think that's a mistake in a recent nationwide poll of Hispanics and Latinos immigration policy came in 6 of issues most important to them, education the economy, Healthcare national defense all came in well ahead of immigration. I guess what I'm trying to say is when it comes down to it on family values religion a strong work ethic the Hispanic community aligns better with conservatives then with the Liberals the Hispanic community is being used by Liberal Democrats to forward their agenda of turning this nation into a socialist country which I don't think the Latinos want anymore then us conservatives do. liberals don't want to fix the immigration policy they want it to be chaos so that they can pretend to be in the Hispanics corner the same way they have done African Americans for years now with socialized welfare programs manipulating the system to keep them dependent on government programs while at the same time making sure they never get ahead. I hope Hispanics wake up and don't fall for the trap of going down that path, it leads to nowhere and could not be further away from the American dream. it is time to stand together black white brown and say no this is the land of opportunity if you want socialism go to Europe not here not in our America!
