Check out Green Mountian Politics. I think he gets it just about right concerning Romney and his nameless wimps.

Or it could be because by being for this bill they can get the republican party to be very for anti-castro policies which their constituencies want

you know trade off of interests… things politicians also do

Politicians are pretty responsive to political pressure. If Ros-Lehtinen and the Diaz-Balarts are for the bill, I suspect it is because their constituencies are. They are pretty full-throated in their support for this stuff.

Of course they do. But the average cuban-american on the street hates the bill, and hates mexicans

Every Cuban Member of Congress supported the bill last year. I think that they will this year.

No because Cubans and Puerto Ricans (who are the hispanic repulicans down here) Hate Illegal Aliens and hate mexicans in general

I do not know of a single Hispanic Republican elected official from Florida who has not expressed support for the bill that passed the Senate last year.

Does anybody have any proof that Hispanics who are legal citizens are for illegal immigration? If so why would we think that Republican Hispanics who are legal citizens are for illegal immigration? I’ve known Hispanic citizens who are bitter about illegals coming into the country.
