Fed-up Hispanic voters are opting for GOP candidatesBy Daniel Garza

Why do polls show that Latinos are drifting to the GOP? Like a lot of things that Washington doesn’t understand, it’s actually pretty simple.
When it comes to their expectations of government, Hispanic voters are like the rest of America: We want elected officials to stop throwing up barriers to achieving the American Dream. We’re not looking for handouts or too-good-to-be-true promises. We know that if we have an equal opportunity, we are capable of supporting our families, accessing health care and making sure our kids receive a quality education.
For years, progressives promised that if we just give them more political power, the government will make all these things much easier. Put them in charge in Washington, the promise goes, and they’ll approve economic “stimulus” bills, reorganize health care, fix our schools and pass immigration reform. And we responded — we voted — and liberal politicians came into power.
But that’s where things went wrong. Instead of making our lives better, they passed bills that spent our hard-earned money on things like corporate welfare and new regulations from Washington bureaucrats. They wasted our tax money and rewarded interest groups. Instead of empowering people to build better lives, they’ve offered a government-centered agenda.
The results are clear. Real wages haven’t grown. Education isn’t improving — in fact, most families continue to find themselves with very limited options. Health care is more expensive, and choices are limited. And when it comes to immigration, we’re still waiting for action — for measures to allow Dreamers and others to contribute more fully to the nation, modernize our agricultural workforce and enhance border security.
Many now recognize that we have little to show for our efforts.
