Welcome to Latino Law and Politics!
This website is dedicated to open discussion on social, political and legal issues surrounding the Hispanic population in the United States. Latinos, or Hispanic-Americans, have a long and rich history in the United States. Our presence here is often confused and misunderstood by many Americans and even by many Hispanic-Americans themselves. Unfortunately, in today’s society and politics, we, the Latinos or Hispanic Americans, are being used as a weapon by politicians to attack the other political parties and to gain economic benefits from the federal, state and local government using us as a shield and excuse, but actually not following
Hispanics for Romney Our Goal
Now that the campaign for the presidency is underway, we, the Latinos – Hispanics have an obligation to support the candidate that can facilitate our goals, not just make promises. It is evident that the history of the Obama administration shows that he is what some call a chameleon. When he talks to the red, he is red; when he talks to the yellow, he is yellow; when he talks to the green, he is green. Disguise his true agenda and fool the people who believe him has been the pattern of his administration; such pattern has been denounced by
Hispanics Viva Romney Campaign – 2012
HISPANICS ”VIVA” ROMNEY CAMPAIGN It is time for Hispanics to unite behind the Republican candidate Mitt Romney and support his campaign that will bring a comprehensive plan to reduce the outrageous debt and provide the needed jobs for the middle class. It is very clear that Governor Romney does listen to those who support him and provide ideas and proposals. He is well-known for his ability to listen and understand the needs of his supporters. The majority of his supporters are hard-working Americans, small businesses, as well as the Latino population that embraces the same goals. We all have the same
Hispanics Opportunity to Support and Be Recognized in the 2012 Republican Platform
Now that the primaries are over and the political parties are preparing for the November election, it is time for us the Hispanic population to join the party who represents our goals and to work with Mitt Romney so he can properly address and support our agenda. Yes, there is opportunity for us to join and participate with those politicians who are true to their believes and do not lie to us in order to get our votes. Like during the Reagan years, the Hispanics who joined the Reagan agenda were able to prove to the country that we also
Class Warfare – The Major Theme of the Obama Administration
We, the Hispanic population of our great country of the United States of America, are being bombarded with the Democratic campaign machinery pushing for what they call the Buffet Rule. It is a fact that many of the Latinos are in the blue-collar environment and the low-end of the middle class. But we do have enough educated people in our organizations (news media, professional, student, political, and the general public) to know better than to accept such false propaganda. Every report analyzing the so-called Buffet Rule is consistent that such a law and tax will not make any impact on the economic imbalance of the country
Immigration Reform – Promises, promises, and nothing but promises again
Reading the news this morning regarding President Obama’s visit to Colombia and his again promising to handle immigration reform reminds me of the continuing promises and the failure to do anything for the voting Hispanics who want the immigration reform. It has been a ploy used by the Democrats to try to demonize the Republicans related to such an issue of immigration reform. They use the Hispanic Media to promote such demonizing and fail to convey the truth that Republicans are not against reform of our outdated immigration system. We, Republicans as well as most Hispanics, want to protect our border
Social Security – Medicare v. Medical & 2012 Elections
Whenever we see the articles in the Media regarding how to resolve the outrageous expenditures of the Federal Government by those who believe the government should control our way of life, we see the fact, and quite often ignorance, of the different government programs. As a reminder to all, Social Security and Medicare are paid for by the American worker in order to protect their retirement and well-being after retirement. Medical is a welfare program to provide health coverage for those who do not or cannot provide their own through work. Unfortunately, the Medical programs have been abused and continue to
Hispanos For Romney for President – Our Benefit
Now that the Republican party has settled on Mitt Romney for President, we need to analyze and support such effort. Here are the advantages that we will have by joining the campaign, registering Latinos Republicans and helping the country get back into what brought us here. We, Hispanics in the United States, do have different backgrounds and needs as previously explained (see prior blogs as to our differences). We have become the largest so-called “minority” group in the country and still find that many believe we can only work in the fields and or clean houses. They continue to ask
Latinos – Republicanos – Porque Nos Beneficiamos
Hace mucho tiempo que los Hispanos en los Estados Unidos han reconocido que el partido Republicano representa las mismas costumbres de nuestra gente: union familiar, creencias religiosas, trabajar duro para mejorar nuestras familias, promover negocios pequeños para nuestra independencia economica, evitar ser catalogado como incapacitados de sobrevivir sin ayuda del gobierno, y muchas otras de nuestras filosofias y costumbres. Aunque la propaganda de los Democratas es de hacernos creer que todos los Republicanos son millonarios, esto no es la verdad; hay tantos millonarios en el partido Democrata como en el Republicano. Ser millonario es una abilidad que todos deseamos; cierto, la
Latinos – Hispanics Should Join the Republican Party – Why
It has been sometime since anyone has seen the reality that the Hispanics have faired better with the Republicans than with the Democrats. It is a fact of our history that the major legislation helping Hispanics have been promoted and passed by Republicans like Reagan. Republicans have been in favor of a comprehenside modification of our Immigration law in order to facilitate becoming a legal resident and to protect our borders. Unfortunately, the propaganda machine of the Democrats is to blindly accuse the Republicans to be anti Latino when the truth if far from such argument. Another major basis for the
Hispanics and Immigration Reform – We need Republicans, Democrats and Independents
It is clear that the present state of the opinion of most of the voting block of the country, whether Democrats, Republicans or Independents, is not in favor of immigration reform. Such public opinion is full of negative comments against the illegal aliens who are seen as job stealers when jobs are scarce and the majority of the workers and middle class are suffering the effects of a failed economy and failed attempts to change it. Republicans are demanding the protection of the border as the first step to be taken for any reform to take place. Democrats also support the protection
