“In politics, Hispanics are a bundle of contradictions.
Although most are registered Democrats, they’ve supported moderate Republicans — i.e., President George W. Bush, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, Arizona Sen. John McCain and others. They tell pollsters that they care about issues besides immigration — education, health care, Iraq, etc. — and yet, when GOP hardliners try to score points off their backs by resorting to racism and trying to demagogue the immigration issue, they’ll circle the wagons and go elephant hunting.”
