Was there a time when the US wanted the Italian vote based on immigration, or the Polish vote, or the Irish vote? No. They came here and were expected to become Americans so they did. Now we're expected to pander to hispanics because they refuse to become Americans. It's the hispanic vote based on the hispanic need. Clue one, hispanics do not give a shit about you. Americans are there to give them stuff, free stuff, all the time, and shut up until free stuff is needed. If there are no handy Americans to give them free stuff, they are happy to kill one another for more free stuff.
