Hispanics disappointed in Democrats

Across the country, immigrant-rights advocates report disillusionment with both parties among Latinos, enough to threaten recent gains in voting participation that have reshaped politics to Democrats’ advantage nationally.
They are really disillusioned with Obamacare and its costs.   Some are also annoyed because of the failure to get amnesty for others in their tribe, but I don't think that is the primary reason for their lack of enthusiasm for Democrats.  They are finally figuring out that the party is just using them, but then pitting them against other constituent groups when dividing up the spoils.

I have never understood why people who are already citizens and have all the rights that it entails would be more than mildly interested in giving those rights to someone who came here illegally.  It could be no more than tribal affinity, but it does not effect them directly.  But Obamacare does and its effect is negative in many cases.
