Their choice of July 2006 and October 2006 as their endpoints has more than a faint whiff of "cherry-picked data" about it. The large illegal marches were in early May and most of the Congressional debate was also earlier in the year; if they wanted to measure the flux in Hispanic support for the Republicans as a result of the amnesty debate then it would have been better to have selected an interval that enveloped those events, say from March 2006 to June 2006.

Rasmussen has the data for overall party affiliation here for comparison. It looks like the Republicans lost support during that time period.

The problem with all of this is that there are no control groups. Based on this data, someone could argue that the resistance against amnesty actually attracted voting Hispanics toward the GOP, but that other more potent forces caused the overall numbers of pro-GOP Hispanics to drop.

If we're going to be scientific about it, let's actually be scientific about it.
