I’d take issue with the GOP Hispanic strategy having much potential either in the near term or the longer term.

But how about referring to Trump addressing the “Silent Majority”, as he revives another old phrase?

“I’d take issue with the GOP Hispanic strategy having much potential either in the near term or the longer term.”

I think that short term we can talk border security and have common ground. Hispanics seem to agree on the need for securing the border, it’s more the GOP elite, Dem leaders and “Hispanic Activists” (i.e., Dems) that want the country to keep getting flooded. That’s why Hispanics voted as they did in the South, in 2014. No one talked deporting, at least in Texas, but they all talked about securing the border, and it did not drive Hispanics away from Republicans.

But once we have the wall and agree that we’re securing the border, the next steps will create some friction - as families will be dealing with people having to head home (under Trump’s plan at least) with no promise of being allowed back on a permanent basis.
