A true Mexican stands tall and proud with their tall and proud Latin American comrades. Hand in hand in a shared identity. Winning.


It is unfortunate that some hate their Homeland so much, they turn their back on the motherland. However it is already wirtten in their DNA, and in their minds. Pretending to be Anglo won't make them any more Anglo. It won't change anything. The Anglo will not treat us as equals until forced to. And even then only reluctantly.
Gatekeeping.

2) Senate Judiciary Committee is chaired by Lindsey Graham - probably the staunchest supporter of Dream Act within Republicans, it is the first time, that when Dream and Promise Act is brought to Senate after passing House, it will have some chance of seeing the light of day --- because the person in-charge of leading negotiations within Republican caucus will be Lindsey Graham.

In any case, still a bit hard for McConnell to put Dream Act to vote but chances are better.

I still think if an immigration bill passes both chambers - Trump will sign it.
Trump will not sign anything benefiting immigrants as long as Stephen Miller is in charge of immigration policy at the Whitehouse.

I don't think what conservatives today were the conservatives even 10 years ago. Before, the republican party was for immigration. They were for open and free trade. They were for fiscal responsibility. They cared about the military and allies.

Today, it seems like none of those things are true. Billions have to be paid by Americans in tariffs because of this trade war. On top of that, the trade war is also with long time American allies. Then because of this trade war, farmers are getting screwed. So the government have to bailout the farmers (some would say this is socialism).

Wall funding is coming out from military spending (reducing / delaying military family benefits). It was "Mexico is going to pay for it", then "the American tax payer will pay for it", now it's "the military will pay for it". Makes no sense. On top of that, the president have said some terrible words towards military families and veterans, not to mention he dodged the draft.

The head of the executive branch said he trusts a long time adversary's words over American intelligence.

This month is the biggest deficit the US government has ever seen. The tax cuts put the government in more in debt and favors the wealthy.

I don't have to describe what's happening with immigration, we all know.

Tell me what conservative values are still left that haven't been broken when they controlled every single branch of the government. If you're an actual conservative and seeing these events unfold, I don't know how you can still remain 100% conservative and rationalize it.

lol you are 100% crazy. You don’t know what you are talking about.

1. Mexico just they just elected Andrés Manuel López Obrador (left wing party MORENA) and he won by a landslide.
2. Majority in El Paso Texas votes for Democrats and mostly come from Mexico. Similar in other cities across the USA.
3. Trump got only 29% of the Hispanic vote.

These facts don’t validate your claim that true Mexicans are conservatives. You wish.

You are the one pretending to be Anglo the Republican Party doesn’t like you at all. Wake up bro.

I love how these arguments turn into conservative versus liberal.

BTW most white Americans are bunch of ethnic"mutts" so Anglo wouldn't be appropriate.

The Anglos come from England and most USA whites are all mixes of Europeans.

I think you make a mistake by confusing patriotism to our birth country/culture and political ideology and personal political preference.

There's no such thing as an "unreal" Mexican just cause someone is of center/center left political theory.

Confusing patriotism with conservativism is what most Right wing forces in the USA and around the world LOVE to do to divide people.

To consider all young left leaning Latino youth as "skinny" sounds so much like Mr Presidente belittling his political opponents.
