The upper crust latinos are worse than MAGA republicans. They want to exploit cheap labor. That's their culture. But the middle to lower class can be reached by one of their own.

The most difficult thing will be to show them how Democrats are better equipped to help them, when the fact is that they can't take their mind off things like the gay issue. That's what I mean by one of their own has to reach them.

I don't know anything about the young latinos. If it's possible that they're more progressive, that's where we need to start.
