All but drowned out by Republicans’ clamorous opposition to President Obama’s executive action on immigration are some leaders who worry that their party could alienate the fastest-growing group of voters, for 2016 and beyond, if its hottest heads become its face.
They cite the Republican Party’s official analysis of what went wrong in 2012, the presidential-election year in which nominee Mitt Romney urged Latinos here illegally to “self-deport.”
“If Hispanics think that we do not want them here,” the report said, “they will close their ears to our policies.”
“Both the president and the Republican Party confront risks here,” said Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster. While the danger for Mr. Obama is “being perceived as overstepping his boundaries,” Mr. McInturff said, “the Republicans’ risk is opposing his action without an appropriate tenor, and thereby alienating the Latino community.”
How the two parties manage their respective risks as they battle for public opinion is likely to define the final two years of Mr. Obama’s presidency as well as the emerging race to pick his successor....

Legal Hispanic immigrants do not want this either.
Obamatraitor is doing everything in his power to pit white against brown, to further balkanize America Not sure it can be prevented after this stunt unfortunately.
I betcha Senator Cruz thinks otherwise
Hint to republicans..
You are NOT doing your job if you don’t upset someone.
That’s like saying, “We shouldn’t offend people who hate us and want to kill us, because they might hate us and want to kill us.”
That’s the truth.
Hispanics who have been here and who belong here understand the constitutional Republic is the source of our rule of law, wealth and individual freedom. The ignorant foreigner cheers this lawlessness by the rabid regressive in the White House.
The rinos are nervous.
blah blah blah
I know dozens of LEGAL immigrants and they are pissed.
So we’ll alienate the illegal aliens? They’ve already been alienated when they came across the border illegally.
I told them I would help them pack.......MY house, my rules, I win.
Full court liberal press on this issue. I’ve given up listening because they have nothing to say.
They better spend their time worrying about the rest of us who are learning to despise the GOP.
My legal immigrant urologist is pissed off about it.
This won’t be a problem if we declare war on mexico.
Again
The Mexican Government needs a Regime Change.
Cruz will figure out a way to stop this, cementing legal Latinos and now-bitchslapped-by-Obama blacks behind him.
Remember, you can check if an illegal opted out of Jury Duty by checking the box ‘non-citizen’. Then go find out if he voted. Felony, 10K fine and some graybar time.
exactly
what is it? Kiss Obama’s ass early and often? The future is the same as the past.
We need to use the same tactic on Federal taxes.
Run on the promise of amnesty for not paying taxes.
Let the DNC go after the money owed when they get back in the WH!
The precedent has been set with 100% full approval of the MSM.
