When Will the GOP Consistenly Begin to win a majority of the Latino vote?

Hopefully never.  Most hispanics I've come to know are socialists, very economically liberal and socially authoritarian, especially the women.  A lot of them voted for Bush and McCain for their social conservatism, but the Republican Party should leave the core of this demographic alone and pick up the more individualized (conservative) ones.  Republicans would be better off to go after asians, as most of them are inherently fiscally conservative.

Are these Hispanics that have been in the US for a long time? I mean the Dem Party does come closest to the government outlook that latino's probably had in their former country.

As Latinos become more assimilated and older generations die off, they will start voting more Republican than they do now.  Maybe 50 or 60 years, or possibly never.

Yeah there was a poll in Gallup today that latino's that immigrant here favor bigger government activism by a 61-22% margin while latino's that were born here favor a more activist government by a less modest margin of 54-41. The Latino's population growth favors the Dems political idealogy but not as much with US born latino's.

Republicans would be better off to go after asians, as most of them are inherently fiscally conservative.

The last three Republican Presidents (all self-declared "fiscal conservatives") were the most fiscally irresponsible Presidents in our nation's history. I doubt empasizing fiscal conservatism will win back Asian voters when the GOP have demonstrated time and time again that they are hypocrites on the issue.

Yeah Reagan and Bush W. did add to the deficit. Bush H.W. was trying to get the fiscal house in order. Plus under Obama the national debt has grown almost as much as Bush W. and Reagan deficits have combined.

If they were smart they'd go after it immediately. Especially if social conservatives truly wanted their causes to have a chance at regain some traction. But unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your political views, they seem to be obsessed with the immigration issue that they throw away a good opportunity to make a strong political gain.

I don't understand the immigration position of the GOP though. As long as people aren't committing crimes, why shouldn't we welcome anyone who wants to come into this country. Why have insane requirements to become residents or citizens? Aren't we supposed to be the freest country and lead the world by example?
I'd eliminate all deportation, except that of those who actually harm others. Of course I am also someone who is very fond of culture and sees America as a big mix of culture and thinks we should welcome more culture into our mix when we can. Be it Hispanic culture, Asian culture, or any other, I think it is all fascinating and don't understand this seeming fear of foreigners some Americans have.

No but you don't want to terrorists coming into the country. Thats why you need documentation of all these people coming into the country. The GOP has made it clear that they like legal immigration. I don't get why it should take somebody 10 years to get into the country legally though. Thats something the GOP and the Dems should agree to to streamline the immigration process so its easier and faster and you don't have to go through 10 agencies to be become a legal citizen.
