How Latinos Vote
BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 8 months ago
In separate questions, Latinos were presented with hypothetical races between Donald Trump and varying Democratic candidates. Bernie Sanders receives the strongest share of the Latino vote relative to Trump; 80 percent say they would vote for Sanders, while a mere 16 percent would vote for Trump. Joe Biden also wins a significant share of Latino voters: 72 percent (Biden) to 19 percent (Trump).
We know what Joe Biden thinks of guns. How about Bernie?
- Take on the NRA and its corrupting effect on Washington.
- Expand background checks.
- End the gun show loophole. All gun purchases should be subject to the same background check standards.
- Ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons. Assault weapons are designed and sold as tools of war. There is absolutely no reason why these firearms should be sold to civilians.
- Prohibit high-capacity ammunition magazines.
- Implement a buyback program to get assault weapons off the streets.
- Regulate assault weapons in the same way that we currently regulate fully automatic weapons — a system that essentially makes them unlawful to own.
- Crack down on “straw purchases” where people buy guns for criminals.
- Support “red flag” laws and legislation to ensure we keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and stalkers
- Ban the 3-D printing of firearms and bump stocks
You think maybe the Latino vote will affect future gun control? You think this has anything to do with immigration?

Not just Latinos. Immigrants of all backgrounds vote heavily democrat when they get the chance. More immigration means more socialism and less freedom.
Legal immigration in all categories, except refugees, has gone up under the Trump administration. He is a civic nationalist and lied when He said He would reduce immigration. He believes in letting in the Orcs as long as they come legally.

Latinos aren’t a monolithic bloc — Cubans (particularly older/first generation) vote overwhelmingly Republican. As a general rule, populations which have experienced dictatorial government and lived to tell about it don’t want to see that experience repeated.
