Democrats want Latinos to become a voting force in Texas

FORT WORTH — Calling Latino voters an untapped resource, Democratic Party leaders urged their members Saturday to launch a door-to-door offensive to engage Hispanics on issues such as job creation and immigration.

“Hispanics in Texas are a game-changer,” said Gilberto Hinojosa, chairman of the Texas Democratic Party. “This is how Texas becomes blue.”

Texas Democratic voters gathered Saturday in downtown Fort Worth for a symposium aimed at engaging Hispanics, who account for roughly 38 percent of the state’s 25.6 million residents.

Hispanic voters tend to vote Democratic, and boosting the numbers who head to the polls could radically alter the national political landscape, Democratic leaders say. But doing so will require time and work.

Democrats want Latinos to become a voting force in Texas

As long as they are LEGAL American citizens, I have NO issue with them voting, but I would like to point out the FACT that the Democratic party is going to exploit Hispanic voters much the same as it does Black voters and Jewish voters.

Let me reference back to Aug. 9th when I posted this wonderful piece of work from my great friend Alan Caruba: The Jewish Vote, the Black Vote, and Blind Faith. Alan might as well have added *The Hispanic vote* onto his story. It’s one in the same; the Democrats pander to the so-called minority vote, make incredible promises and then deliver nothing.

“There is no magical key, no message that will get us to the polls,” said Mary Gonzalez, who was recently elected to represent El Paso in the Texas House of Representatives. “What works is voter contact.”

Well, there’s that traditional and always reliable Tijuana Taxi; a barely functional bus, over loaded with Hispanics that have been rounded up and herded to the polls.

Chuck Rocha, a native Texan and Democratic strategist, pointed to polls showing Latino voters care about the economy, jobs and immigration.

Latino voters may care about the economy, jobs and immigration, but the Dems don’t truly seem to, unless it’s election time and FULL PANDERING mode hits.

“We all need a job. We all need healthcare,” said Rocha, a contributor to MSNBC. “We all love our kids and this country.”

Issues such as the Dream Act, which allows young illegal immigrants a path to citizenship, and the Affordable Care Act, which will provide insurance to millions, could help the party capture more Hispanic votes, said Texas state Rep. Armando Walle of Houston.

We DO need healthcare, all of us need healthcare, so, get a job that has insurance.

The Dream Act? More like a freaking NIGHTMARE in MY opinion. If you want to become a citizen, try this; come here LEGALLY and I will personally welcome you with open arms IF you come here to WORK and to be an American.

Republican lawmakers upset some Latino voters this year with a new state law that requires voters to show a photo ID.

Many Hispanics argue that the requirement discriminates against minorities, who are less likely to have a driver’s license and can have a harder time getting one.

You have to have a drivers license or some form of pictured STATE ID to do so many things it’s just not worth listing all of them again. The idea that having to obtain a license or ID discriminates against ANYONE is one of the biggest LIES the Democrats tell.

They were also angered by a new Arizona law that allows police to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws.

I see this as a GREAT law and a GREAT effort. ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL, and if you are, too bad, so sad. If we had a U.S. government with BALLS you’d be deported.

To draw voters, Democrats touted the Promesa Project, a grassroots effort to reach out to young Latinos using social media and face-to-face meetings. The project will select 10 fellows across the state and train them to organize their respective communities and college campuses.

Wait … what? Young Latinos in college and with SOCIAL MEDIA but they can’t take the time or make the effort to get a STATE issued ID or license?

Among the party’s major priorities will be educating Latino voters about Republican Ted Cruz, a Tea Party-backed candidate who beat out Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst for the U.S. Senate race, leaders said. Cruz, a Cuban-American, will face Democrat Paul Sadler in November.

“We will remind them why Ted Cruz is disconnected from the Texas Latino experience,” Walle said.

And just so the dumb-assed Democrats that DO read here know, Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, AB. That’s Canada folks, he is of Cuban heritage. And so you know, I don’t like Ted Cruz, but he may be disconnected from your *Latino experience* because he came to the USA, became a citizen and works for the betterment of America, not just some Latino cause or the cause of furthering the Democratic Party.

Injecting a bit of humor into Saturday’s meeting, Rocha said pundits and policymakers increasingly discuss the Latino vote.

“The Latino vote has become the chupacabra,” he said, referring to the legendary creature. “Everyone’s talking about it, but no one has seen it.”

They had to wait until the LAST paragraph to tell the TRUTH, and then tried to pass the TRUTH off as a joke.
