If the GOP believes that by pandering to Hispanics they'll make electoral headway with that demographic, they're completely delusional.

First of all, the majority of legal Hispanic voters resent illegal aliens and are dead against amnesty. ...so the GOP could very well be alienating them by pursuing this particular course.

And secondly, the GOP seems to be taking for granted that they won't lose a significant percentage of traditional voters ("they have nowhere else to go"), which of course is ridiculous.

The GOP is now a fear-based party.

People keep saying this, but I haven't seen anything to back it up other than a few personal anecdotes. Did I miss something? (likely with the hundreds of immigration threads that have blossomed on FR) Anybody here have something more concrete?
