Hispanic Republicans

[BigSkyBob]

Does anyone have any data on who Hispanic Republicans are, outside of Florida Cubans?

Country of origin, income, what generation are they, Spanish/English spoken at home, state-by-state breakdowns.

My gut instincts tell me they're almost all white people who come from the upper classes of Latin America, or 3rd + generation who are by now no more Mexican than Joe Schmoe is Irish.

Is there anything wrong with 3rd+ generation Americans being no more Mexican than Joe Schmoe is Irish?

This hasn't been explored but I hypothesized conversiosn to Protestantism and Mormonism as inducing Republican voting.

Is there anything wrong with a Mexican-American Catholic choosing to join a Protestant or Mormon church?


Is there anything wrong with a Mexican-American joining the Republican party for that matter?

Hispanic Republicans?  That's an anomaly...

With the NV caucuses and the Florida primary, it's important to understand who these people are.

To be a Republican it is important to understand what America is.

Most Hispanic Protestants are Assembly of God or Seventh-day Adventist.

Gee, could that be because most converts to Protestantism are evangelical?

Then, again, White "mainline Protestant," and White Catholic churches are losing members to the same churches.
