Yeah, but remember when we say "Latino Republicans" we're actually talking about Cuban expats (in the majority) who really don't share the same concerns (or lifestyles/socioeconomic conditions, that is) with "liberal" latino peoples.

Latinos aren't liberal in the first place.

Most are Christian, hard working, pro-gun, anti-abortion, traditional gender role, paternalistic, macho people. You can only bribe them to vote democrat for so long. They'll return to their conservative roots in time, just wait and see.

I don't quite agree with you, but maybe you saw some study or read some poll that I didn't.

Why is it that they don't share the sane socioeconomical conditions, I wonder?

Could it be that Republican values make you wealthy?

Some of the top earners in Cuba work for tips in the tourism sector. It's really a land of zero opportunity, so it's unsurprising refugees are extra willing to work hard - as much as people complain, you still can get ahead, even if it's getting more and more difficult.

Your implicit assumption of wealth being virtuous is interesting.

But remember the Bible (because Republican values tend also to be Christian values):

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

(Matthew 19:24)

and

...the love of money is the root of all evil

(1 Timothy 6:10)
