Having lived in a working class immigrant community for the last 30 years, their traditional views are more inline with many Republican traditional views, They are socially conservative, family oriented, entrepreneurial, hard working. They should be a natural fit except of course for the racism. When the Bush family moved away from anti immigrant rhetoric the Republicans got a larger share of the Hispanic vote.
BTW, the same can be said about the African American community. On the political spectrum they are just as diverse as the rest of the nation but the they vote solid Democrat because of racism.
Another thought, as moderate and conservative whites move to the Republican party, African Americans are the moderating force within the Democratic party. They are the reason we have candidate Biden rather than candidate Sanders.
I live in Montgomery County MD, the deep blue heart of Maryland, allegedly. Except that we and Prince George’s county next door are also home to Latino and West African immigrant communities. All of whom are socially conservative, entrepreneurial, religious and family-oriented...stop me if you’ve heard this before. If we ever get immigration sorted out, look for these groups to be leading Maryland’s political realignment.
