3. Hispanics aren't monolithic
and I'm sure they don't vote that way. At this point it seems to me that polling Hispanics as a single group is just a tiny bit more to the point than polling Italian Americans. There are Hispanics who are affluent, who are solidly middle class and who are the poorest of the poor, Hispanics who came here as citizens, legal aliens and illegals. There are those whose families have been here for generations, those who got here last week and everything in between. They come from many different countries and have differing cultural views. I think that regarding them as one big voting block is kind of off the mark, although there are certainly voting blocks that are Hispanic, if you know what I mean.
