I’m sorry, but I don’t trust anything on this matter coming out of Martinez, Crist, Grahamnesty, or Steele.
So you give them amnesty and then they still vote for liberals and grow the welfare state even further thru the roof.
Then what?
Yeah, brilliant strategy.
If Latinos/Hispanics won’t vote for you because you won’t back an illegal amnesty, then throw overboard the rule of law to pander for their votes (as if illegals would ever align themselves with Republicans anyway.)
Meanwhile stick your thumb in the eyes of your base, who will have to subsidize the illegals. Pick up one vote for every 10 votes you run off.
Brilliant.
I am confused. Race does or doesn’t matter?
Calling Mr Orwell!
Nice to see the handful of Rino’s having meetings with one another.
Meanwhile, the American people would like to see the current federal immegration law enforced with hopes of returning their neighborhoods to 1st world status.
Martinez, Crist, Graham, Steele, McCain, Specter & Lugar,
joined by former president Bush, plan immigration strategy:

The rank and file need to wake up and realize remaining in the Republicrat party will only result in more socialism.
mccain was an open borders guy.
It didn’t do him any good. why not?
hispanics didn’t didn’t give him more votes for his trouble.
americans gave him less votes for being a traitor
these articles are fud
Ahh yes, race politics.
Works for democrats, never has and never will work for republicans.
“Graham said he’s considering forming a political action committee, or some other entity, aimed at recruiting strong Hispanic Republican candidates.”
Strong Hispanic Republican candidates....
translation...open border, hispandering rinos!
How many elections do these morons have to lose before they figure out the American people have had enough of their open border/pandering politics!
This really only applies to Catholic Hispanics.
There is no substantial issue with Protestant Hispanics, even against the Obama wave Republicans still won 48% of the Hispanic Protestant vote.
Our two-party system has evolved from Democrat & Republican to the TaxPayer & Non-TaxPayer political parties. !!
If Latinos wouldn’t vote for Juan McAmnesty why would anyone think pandering on illegal immigration would win them over?
If the GOP wants to win over Latinos:
1) Focus on issues like abortion and same sex marriage. Most Latinos are Catholics and are conservative on these issues.
2) Remind them that they won’t benefit from amnesty. The current system (if enforced) is more favorable to Latino immigrants who are American citizens, because they can petition for their close relatives. If amnesty is passed they will lose that advantage and their family members will have to wait in line behind the 12 million illegals and in line with the family members of those 12 million illegals.
3) Continue to point out how liberalism has devestated minority communities.
4) Be the party that talks to Latinos (and blacks) like adults, instead of pandering to them and treating them like helpless children.
5) Explain the benefits of conservative principles, to them, just like anyone else. Our ideas are better, if we continue to clearly and persuasively present them, people will gradually be won over to them.
I do not want my Culture destroyed by these RINO’s
The latino vote could be problematic going forward thanks to the politicians who have coddled illegals over the years and allowed them to lay down roots unmolested by the law. That has led to them having a lot of citizen offspring. Go to a kindergarden in central NC. There are an absurd number of latinos and you can bet that most have illegal parents. Those kids will be eligible to vote before long. Millions of them nationwide. And given the way they breed millions more will come onto the voter rolls before long.
Are they still here?

Why does the GOP hate Hispanics? (Vanity)

Core Obama constituencies (groups where it would help Republicans to make inroads):
13% of voters-African-Americans: 95% for Obama
3% of voters-Jews: 78% for Obama
18% of voters-Persons aged 18-29: 66% for Obama
9% of voters-Latinos: 67% for Obama
2% of voters-Asians: 62% for Obama
As they try to shut Mario Rubio out of the election process in FL. The GOP is the stupid party.
John McCain not only tried to pry open the borders with back room legislation but went and prostrated himself before La Raza (The Race), a violently anti-American criminal support group, during the campaign. If the RNC can't figure out that this is a losing formula then they need to go ahead and update their resumes.
What exactly did all those Whig politicians and hanger-ons do after their party collapsed for lack of spine?
