Isn’t there good evidence that more RECENT Latino immigrants are the ones voting heavily Democratic? If there is not, that is certainly the pattern history wants us to look for. As stated above, the Irish were heavily Democratic in the 1860s because they saw the GOP as the party of “established Americans,” then meaning largely those of English descent and a Protestant faith. As the established demographic grew to include other White Europeans, including the Irish, the Irish correspondingly felt less of a need to vote as a cohesive bloc anymore. We saw the same pattern later with Italians, and we will likely see the same pattern with Latinos. Our grandchildren will almost certainly consider someone with the surname Lopez who has half Latino/half English ancestry to be “generically White.”
