Almost all Conservatives realize immigration built American and lead to greatness. Liberals muck it up by saying illegal immigration is OK, known criminals or enemy combatants should be welcomed and American civil rights should be extended to all of these people. So, yes.

Gay marriage is not a Conservative issue, it is a religious one. Conservative do not care about gays any more than they care about heteros. The issue comes from the fact that the Catholic Church does not allow gay marriage and Liberals don't like that. Liberals want to force Churches to perform gay marriage, and Conservatives say this is not right. Forcing people in the church to do something they believe is wrong is not right. It infringes on their rights. Get it?

Do the majority of them refer to Hispanics as "Mexicans" in a derogatory way?
No, the majority do not. Period. "Mexicans" are just fine to Conservatives. Illegal immigrants are not. Some people definitely let the rhetoric get away on them, but that does not make one bit of difference to legal "Mexican" immigrants.
Are they FOR Pro-Choice?
Some are, most are not. This does not in any way define liberal vs. conservative. Are you pro-murder? Many people consider abortion to be the murder of an infant child. Once again, Conservatives seem to prefer to err on the conservative side and choose not to end a life when the evidence is gray. Liberals are more concerned the with the woman's right to choose (something she had exercised multiple times prior to and during the act of conception) than they are with the rights of the baby.

Are they FOR reforming our criminal justice system
Damn right. Just not in such a way as to make it easier to commit crimes without repercussion. Society has determined what is legal and what is not. We can debate those points as much as we like. However, law enforcement is charged with dealing with those that commit that which is called a crime. Rehab instead of punishment? Unfortunately rehab doesn't work the way you want it to. If it did, then things would be different. And prisons wouldn't be so full now would they.
