Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is expected to address immigration today when he speaks to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. According to prepared remarks obtained by multiple news outlets, Paul will say, “Defense of the unborn and defense of traditional marriage are Republican issues that should resonate with Latinos but have been obscured by the misperception that Republicans are hostile to immigrants.”
Unfortunately, that is just completely false. Latinos are not supporters of traditional marriage or the lives of the unborn. According to the 2012 exit polls, 59 percent of Latinos say their state should legally recognize same-sex marriage, and 66 percent said abortion should be legal. Latinos also overwhelmingly support Obamacare, higher taxes, more spending, and they don’t believe in the Second Amendment either. Other than that, they are great conservatives.
