The other day Drudge linked to a piece about an app which allowed communication with plants. My first thought was that if it worked with plants maybe there was hope for communicating with Republicans — aren’t some of them almost as intelligent as house plants? But maybe not, after decades of failure with the Hispanic vote, Republican leadership is still trying for an amnesty — by whatever name they choose to call it.
Now the Associated Press reports that the executive vice president of the Pew Research Center said:
"What’s striking over the past several decades is that the two groups at the heart of the modern immigration wave — Hispanics and Asian-Americans — have both been trending Democratic over time … "(Immigrants' Children More Democratic Than Parents, February 07, 2013 )
But of course, this is only true because immigrants are angry about Republican efforts to enforce the law — once another amnesty puts that behind us, their conservative Republican nature will come out — right?
Think again. The just-released Pew study says:
"About eight-in-ten (83%) first-generation Hispanics say they would rather have a bigger government with more services than a smaller government with fewer services. While still a clear majority, the share opting for an activist government is lower (71%) among second-generation Hispanics. Compared with the general public, both first- and second-generation Hispanics prefer a more activist government."

Okay, so Hispanics want big government and the accompanying handouts — redistribution of wealth from higher income Americans.
But aren’t they social conservatives — maybe Republicans can get them there?
Not likely, the same study found that 68% of second generation Hispanics say society should accept homosexuality (78% of Asians) and 55% of second generation Hispanics say abortion should be legal (66% of Asians). Among second generation Hispanic women who recently gave birth, 52% were not married.
Doesn’t sound very Republican and indeed the study finds:
"Second-generation Hispanics even more strongly identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party (71%) than the Republican Party (19%)."
So how stupid are Republicans? Forest Gump said: "Stupid is as stupid does" — we'll wait and see if they pass an amnesty that will displace them.
If you decide to tell Republicans about this study — especially leaders like Boehner, Cantor, Rubio, and Paul Ryan — make sure you first get a hold of a plant communication app.
