The reality is Most Latinos in the us are Mestizo/Mexican/central American. I.e. not black.
The afro Latinos (I.e. Dominicans, Panamanian etc) are far less represented. So while you kind of have a point, you are still veering into smart-dumb territory.
And you say that to say what?
Are you saying I said or implied that most Latinos are black?
Mestizo - is racial category for mixed indigenous/white peoples
Mexican - is a multiracial grouping of people from the nation/state of Mexico
Central American - is a geographical location consisting of multiple races of people
My point being here is that people are grouping a lot of different people together. Why is this important ...because people such as in this post take Hispanic/Latino and try to spend that number into this homogeneous political block which doesn't exist.
- White Miami Cubans don't have the same political aspirations as Puerto Ricans regardless of race.
- Likewise White Cubans and Puerto Ricans who are already citizens don't have the same political aspirations as Mestizo Mexican migrants
- Short of language Dominicans have little cultural ties to mexico
- Mestizo's who have been citizens of the U.S. since the 1800's when the U.S took over part of mexico don't have the same political aspirations as recent Mestizo Mexican migrants
- etc etc etc.
Matter a fact I would focus more so on the abortion rate among African American women than anything having to do with Latinos/Hispanics crossing the border
Note that's 259,336 Annually ....likewise the amount of migrants stopped at the border are just under 400,000 themselves
(The assumption being more are caught at the border than make it in)
