That shift, experts say, is a sign that the immigrant experience is less of a factor in the diverse Latino population than pocketbook and quality-of-life issues like crime.

“It’s good for the Dodgers – maybe not so great for my pocketbook. But it’s meaningful, it warms my heart.”

The fear is that talk of democracy and freedom is too esoteric and that the last-minute voters will only be moved by pocketbook issues.
