lol. Clinton has a higher approval rating among Latinos than Obama does. A joke article.
Perhaps Naverrette is implying that many Latinos support Clinton against their own interest.
Remember how other party is the Republican Party?
Well... in a Jeb Bush v. Hillary Clinton matchup, it might be difficult to tell who is more supportive of immigration.
Not a chance. You also have to consider how Bush would need to move right on immigration to have a chance, how the GOP brand is tainted on that issue and how Hispanic voters don't only vote on immigration.
And, let's just look at the relevant data point, Obama vs. comprehensive immigration reform bill author John McCain. How did John McCain do with Hispanic voters in 2008?
McCain didn't do well with Hispanic voters, but his weak performance wasn't isolated to that group. We have to remember how weak the Republican party was in general after the financial crisis. Like all other cohorts, Hispanics voted for Obama in 2008 based on economic issues. I think that McCain's performance with Latinos validates what you just said about Hispanics not voting on immigration alone, but I don't remember McCain walking back his views on immigration during the primaries. So, the immigration debate wouldn't automatically allow Jeb to defeat Hillary, but it might help.
Republicans have done a ton of damage to their brand with Hispanics since 2005. And, Hispanics just ideologically associate with Democrats, putting immigration to one side.
Just throwing out some milquetoast position, like potentially supporting a comprehensive immigration reform bill is not going to convince anyone. People who want immigration reform have heard this story before. I think Jeb could keep Clinton from hitting 80% with Hispanics. That's about what you could hope for.
