But as we\u2019ve seen from comments by Senator Feinstein, Harris, and Hirono, and the surreal and barbarous statements coming out of Virginia and New York on third-trimester abortion (and near infanticide), it is now becoming anti-Catholic to a degree not seen in decades in America. Why would a devout Catholic wish to side with such bigotry? Trump is on the right side of the abortion and the religious-discrimination issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Hispanic unemployment is at record low levels in a growing economy. One can see the realities by simply driving around small towns in Central California where the flurry of activity and demand for labor are unprecedented, and workers have a range of options and leverage not seen in the 21st century. Even slight decreases in border crossings are force multipliers in the empowerment of Mexican-American and other Hispanic citizens in efforts to boost wages and gain options in employment. Trump\u2019s policies did much of that, visible even in highly regulated and less dynamic California. Few middle-class commuters wish to endorse the New Green Deal that would mandate soon ending chain saws, leaf blowers and the workers\u2019 daily commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/donald-trump-and-the-latino-vote\/\">Read the full article here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victor Davis Hanson \/\/ National Review Trump would not have to change his policies to capture 40 to 50 percent of the Latino vote (which is quite different from \u201cLatino\u201d spokespeople on television and the Jorge Ramos crowd), as opposed to simply articulating them: 1) The \u201cnew\u201d Democratic party not only show signs of a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[1161,1099,23,1],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p466Sb-31I","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":182,"url":"https:\/\/victorhanson.com\/wordpress\/winning-the-latino-vote\/","url_meta":{"origin":11638,"position":0},"title":"Winning the Latino Vote","author":"victorhanson","date":"December 8, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"by Victor Davis Hanson National Review Online Over the last three weeks, I think I have read most of the post-election op-eds written on the Latino vote.
