Public Opinion Strategies conducted a set of special focus groups among Hispanic voters in Las Vegas, NV. …
When someone of Spanish-speaking descent as we had in our focus groups hears the word “immigration,” they brace for the worst. As they say …. “immigration means brown people. ALL brown people.” …
