Hispanic Voters and The Immigration Debate: Right Principles, Wrong Approach

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.” …

The immigration issue does not necessarily affect our participants – all of our participants were American citizens. But they say the issue is important because “it reflects on us.” …

But, when it comes to immigration reform, the principles they outline themselves sound shockingly … Republican. Or at least ideas that Republicans could support. [cont.]
