Rig, Hispanic politicians may want to increase the number of Hispanic US citizens, but non-citizen immigrants can't vote, whether they are legal or not.*

Hispanic politicians also have to appeal to many non-Hispanics, as well as to the anti-illegal immigration Hispanics, if they want to get elected.

I think the mega-businesses like Tyson and trans-national corporations like ADM have humongous clout in both DC and various state houses by way of their lobbyists and their political advertising. Oh, and thanks to the Roberts court, those corporations will have almost exponentially greater influence on elections to come -- and the politicians, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, know it.



*Please don't tell me you think illegal voter registration of immigrants is a major problem. It's not that easy to get registered and vote if you're not a citizen, plus there are more legitimate minority voters are disenfranchised via sneaky and sometimes illegal means (e.g., long lines and/or broken voting machines at their polling places) than there are people illegally registered.
