Guntsu:

My parents always hoped for more from us then construction. The only one that stuck with construction is my little bro but he is an engineer. However dad still puts him in his place frequently.

But you are right, trade skills are an art form and one that does not get the recognition it deserves.

For us growing up it was about learning the value of work, standing behind what your putting out, learning a skill and money.

I’m sure there are others, nurses, doctors and restaurants etc.

But I’m just speaking of what I personally know, most friends I have are all involved in construction and even heavy equipment.

FreeAndClear:

You did not actually counter what i said.

didnt intend to. just pointed how silly your narrative is in light of reality.

FreeAndClear:

You called it a narrative

it is. the ol’ “flooding the country with illegals is actually helping the GOP” narrative.

FreeAndClear:

And then you actually agreed! - “many of them slowly wise up” = increasingly voting gop

i didnt disagree in the first place.

FreeAndClear:

And then said you tried

D for effort. But you gotta try to make it seem as though it’s ironically helping republicans. but the data showed how absurd that narrative is.

FreeAndClear:

Holy canoli

i know!

FreeAndClear · 2023-06-23T18:52:19.271Z

Yeah you didn’t disagree you just typed something that was in disagreement with a narrative you believed i was pushing

Which part of my post screamed that flooding the us is actually helping gop?

My gosh.

My post screamed that the gop should appeal to Hispanics as they are socially conservative

My point was then made more obvious when i had a discussion with another poster.

I mean the “i must reflexively disagree with anything that poster says” is a weird way of posting but have at it.

thinkingman · 2023-06-23T18:53:41.028Z

Guntsu:

Hispanics at least socially are a natural GOP fit

but vote overwhelmingly democrat which nowadays is everything, and i do mean everything, but.

do democrats expect them to be stupid like they do black people?

Here are some key finding from Forbes

Key positive findings from the report include:

In the past 10 years, Latino-owned businesses have started at a faster rate than other groups—a 44% growth rate—compared to only 4% for non-Latino-owned firms.
The number of employees at Latino-owned businesses has grown 55% since 2007, compared to 8% for white-owned businesses.
In 2018, there were roughly 350,000 Latino-owned employer businesses that generated over $460 billion in annual revenue and employed 2.9 million people. The 2021 report also projects there are now approximately 400,000-450,000 Latino-owned employer businesses.
Latino-owned businesses are distributed across all sectors of the economy, and in similar proportion as white-owned business, except Latino-owned firms skew higher into food services while there are more white-owned professional services. Among Latino-owned employer businesses, 19% own tech firms, while among white-owned employer businesses that number is only 14%

Forbes

New State Of Latino Entrepreneurship Report Shows Strong Growth In Tech Sector

New research from the Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) shows Latino businesses are playing an important role in the U.S. economy through business ownership and job creation.

Again I want to stress…legal immigrants, work visas, no criminal record after certain number of years fast track to citizenship.

Illegally coming into America or commit crimes…you get booted out…and a wall/structure to prevent you from sneaking back in.

i didnt tell you what you are thinking. i told you what your words say. if you meant something different, perhaps re-phrase your post.

i will kindly edit mine in the replies if you effectively rephrase. i get that sometimes things dont quite come out like you intended.

FreeAndClear · 2023-06-23T19:12:50.921Z

No you told me what you think my words say.

It’s reflexive and weird.

I told you what my words meant. You don’t believe me because somehow you think you know what i meant.

Enjoy your Friday

Guntsu:

On the social front they are fairly monolithic, majority Catholic, socially conservative and family oriented.

No, they really aren’t.

WuWei · 2023-06-23T19:44:10.470Z

Guntsu · 2023-06-23T19:55:38.569Z

Yeah I am sure losing a seat and flipping a district red was in the plan!

Gracias Mayra!

Had a girlfriend that was Venezuelan, when it came to religion, family and social views it was match.

We also had a Chilean family in our congregation and same experience.

WuWei · 2023-06-23T20:00:06.593Z

I didn’t say religion.

Guntsu · 2023-06-23T20:00:42.489Z

Religion is heavily intertwined with Hispanic culture, it’s what drives the socially conservative aspect of it.
