The Rise Of Hispanic Republcans

As and Hispanic Republican myself, this doesn't surprise me at all.

It was predicted, and doubted, years ago.
There are seven Hispanic Republicans challenging Democratic incumbents for congressional seats and another dozen or so running for the [California] state Assembly.

Culturally, Mexicans are quite conservative and I've never understood why they would vote Democratic unless it was to get a handout. Once immigrants become self-supporting, I would fully expect them to vote Republican in overwhelming numbers.
