they tried with latino voters. a bit of a shift downward for the whites voting patterns, but it's roughly the same. again, the reason the latino vote in heavily democratic as of late is there aren't as many wealthy latino voters says there will be white voters. this is going to change dramatically in the next 10 to 20 years as latinas become more assimilated into american society, as latino children go to college and graduate school and become doctors and lawyers, just like my italian and irish ancestors date, though eventually join the ranks of the middle class. and the statistics are just as do that they will become much, much more republican. and that is why we have seen from the 1960s and mexican-americans were voted 85% democrat to today would mexican-americans though 60% democrat, you see a large ship because of the increasing assimilation into american society. i not see any reason the trend doesn't tinea. in closing, i think there is one other thing to keep in mind. we have seen again and again in american

latinos care just as much about the economy and unemployment at non-latinos. sure they care about immigration, but it's not as over looming as the media and candidates make it seem. it's for more complex. >> in some key states and the ones we talked about texas california florida particularly, new york is the latino vote, that 8% enough to swing an election. >> not in the the super blue states or super red states, but in and a half and a half it is and in new mexico and california. we saw that in 2010 with senator reed. he survived because of the latino vote. that percentage that put him over the top was because of latinos and he knew they were going to be his life raft and aggressively courted them. very important also in congressional elections. your senate elections congressional elections and even state elections. >> as we said in the intro this has become a particularly important focus for the republicans in florida and we know why. the republicans blocked immigration reform, blocked the dream act which president obama wanted so can they really appeal to
