Thanks To Obama's Incompetence, Hispanic Vote Is Up For Grabs

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

t is widely accepted that Hispanics will become a larger share of the American electorate in the years to come.

 

This is a matter of simple arithmetic. Less than one-tenth of adults counted in the 2010 Census classified themselves as "Hispanic" (a term invented by the Census Bureau for the 1970 count).

 

But one-quarter of children were similarly classified. Many of them the offspring of illegal aliens, they were born in the U.S. and thus entitled to citizenship.

 

It's true that Hispanics may not be as large a share of voters as is sometimes projected. There has been zero net migration from Mexico to this country since 2007, and, given advances in Mexico, immigration at the 1982-2007 levels may never resume.

 

In any case, Hispanics are bound to form some larger percentage of the electorate than the 10% recorded in the 2012 exit poll, and one that inevitably will be targeted by both parties and many candidates.
