Judge Keeps Obama Immigration Policies On Hold - Page 2

What is a true hispanic? People are going to vote for what helps them out the most. Wealthy Hispanics might vote republic because for them the economy is more important, very religious Hispanics might vote republic because they have strong religious beliefs. Just because they vote republican does not mean they are against you, it just means that like you, they are looking out for themesleves and what they consider the best scenario for them. I hate ignorant statements that say that if a latino votes republican, he or she is a sellout. Everyone is entailed to their opinions and they can vote for whoever they want. True Hispanics should vote republican or democrat as longn as they are informed.

How old are you?

24 years old.

lationos are pretty republican thought.... the only difference is that white republicans don't agree with an immigration system. But if they stopped that and were more open (lmao) and passed a bill, I bet you 80% of lationo votes would go to them

I don't think you get the point. Are you a DACA recepient?

lol your idealistic view of the world is adorable. It really is. Have you missed the news in the last 20 years of the Republicans going out of their way to deport us and making lives of all immigrants who are documented and not documented a living hell? I may agree with Republicans on taxes and a few other issues but when at their core they are against my existence and would want me and my family deported, I'm not going to listen to anything else they have to say.

So in that regard, if you are a Hispanic and you support Republicans who want to deport your fellow Hispanics, or worse, want to deport family members and friends and harass all other Hispanics, it shows that you have very little self regard or respect for yourself.

There are gay Republicans too and they are also idiots. The only bigger idiot is a black or Jewish KKK member.

No, moved here from Argentina when I was 13. My dad is a US citizen, thus when I was born I had dual citizenship.

I believe the biggest problem is what people consider hispanic, take me for example. Born and raised in Argentina until I was 13. If anyone asks me where I'm from, I will always say Argentina ( place where I was born and where my childhood memories are). I don't fit the typical hispanic stereotype, because I happen to look what most people call "white hispanic". I don't have family that is undocumented, the only one friend that I had that was not a U.S. citizen, now has a green card. So based on your statement if I decide to vote republican in the next election, it will show that I have little respect for myself? Why? Because I don't place immigration as my number one priority? Because being Hispanic automatically means I have to vote democratic? Because being Hispanic basically means I can't think for myself and have to follow the masses?

Natalie, I don't think you understand exactly the point IamAman is trying to make. As you stated you are a U.S citizen and you are not affiliated with anyone who is undocumented and therefore you have no idea exactly why undocumented/dreamers cannot and will not ever support Republicans.

Let me put it to you this way, say you found out that in fact you are undocumented, you came from Argentina from a very young age and practically grew up here. Your friends, family, your life is here in America and now all of a sudden a group of people want you out of this country? The country you grew to love and accept as your own is now the country that wants to get rid of you? Can you honestly say to yourself that you can support this group that wants you gone?

How about a different situation and instead you remain a U.S citizen but your father who you loves you dearly, will work unimaginable hours for a salary way below the minimum wage just to make sure you have a place to stay at night is now all of a sudden being rounded up because he isn't here legally, can you still say that the group that wants your father gone is a group you can support?

I do understand what you are trying to say, and yes regardless of your race, ethnicity, religion, one should have the free will to vote for oneself. But in this particular situation in which this ENTIRE WEBSITE is based upon there is no absolute way in which an undocumented/dreamer will ever support Republicans who will stop at nothing to get rid of them.

It may be hard for you to understand where IamAman is coming from, due to the fact that you most likely do not understand how difficult life has been for many if not all of the undocumented population here. Each and everyone of them tries to be a productive member of society, do as they are told, chase the american dream and yet they cannot because their lives are defined by LIMITS.

When it comes to Hispanics voting for Democrats is not isolated to just hispanics, yes there is a good percentage of hispanics in the undocumented population but they are not the only ones, there are other vast ethnicity as well. After all I have briefly mentioned what makes you think that if a hispanic or asian who has ties to family or friends who happen to be undocumented vote for a party that essentially want them out of the country?

Hey I am from Argentina too. Man living as a undocumented, well overstay "white Hispanic" was the worse. I couldn't even corner jobs because people assumed I was a white guy trying to work under the table and of course they're not going to hire a white guy if a brown guy is next.
