Nor should bilingual education or college tuition rates be political tools. All of the children in America represent our future and it is to all of our advantages to educate all of them as best we can, regardless. It's not an Hispanic issue.
NAFTA and CAFTA aren't Hispanic issues. Public health isn't an Hispanic issue.
Republicans don't need to change any substantive policies to appeal to Americans of Hispanic descent that I know of.
We can play politics with political things such as appointing Hispanics to highly visible offices, celebrating Hispanic holidays, recognizing the contributions of Hispanics to our nation, locating government buildings and post offices in Hispanic neighborhoods, running ads in Spanish, hiring more Hispanic police officers, campaigning in Hispanic areas, including Hispanic leaders in public affairs, etc...
By the way, many years ago I was on a committee that oversaw MART. I never heard anyone express an opinion contrary to that of our President at that time, Ronald Reagan. I did get requests on things such as immigration of family members from Mexico and various import and customs problems, recommendations for jobs, college admissions, etc... but not one single policy issue.
Who is this masked man, you might ask . .
¿Quién es este bayourod enmascarado del hombre - el guardabosques o el Tonto solitario?

Who is "we"? The quickest way to get on the wrong side of me is to appoint me to anything because I'm hispanic. I won't have it, even if it means having to turn down the next tony opportunity that comes my way. The day HR is appointed to anything, it had better be because she's the best for the job and not because some politician is trying to play politics and pander to voters.
"The issue of foreign workers is not something that should be used as a political tool to appeal to American voters of Hispanic heritage."
lol You cant admit that even PART of all this is to appeal to hispanics?! Dont bother answering because I wont believe you.
