Ironically, the best way for the GOP to gain Hispanic voters would be to stand firmly against amnesty.
Two separate polls of legal Hispanic voters indicate a 2-to-1 majority against amnesty.
And, upon reflection, doesn't that make sense? Legal Hispanics have either been U.S. citizens for generations or earned their citizenship by going about it the right way.
Consequently, just like the rest of us, they're not in favor of illegal invaders getting their citizenship as a gift.
Yeah, they will point to the Reagan amnesty of 1986 which was popular with the entire Latino community, including the legal portion. But they conveniently forget that was a carefully targeted amnesty which covered no more than two million people who met specific circumstances including being self-sufficient contributing taxpayers. It also included stepped up border enforcement and accelerated deportations for those who had no business being here, all provisions which were conveniently ignored.
