“THERE IS A SIMPLE NON-EASY SOLUTION: Fight for every Hispanic vote you can. Fight to stop amnesty. Fight to have rational immigration law.”
Unfortunately those seem to be mutually exclusive. If you support immigration reform/amnesty, millions of formerly hispanics get to vote, prob 70/30 RAT. If you vote against amnesty you get branded an anti-hispanic racist and lose the hispanic vote by a larger margin. The fallacy of your plan is evident just by looking at recent election results. Bush supported amnesty, spoke some spanish and even has some hispanic family members. Did he win the majority of hispanics? McCain, who also strongly supported amnesty, also lost the hispanic vote to a guy the hispanics reportedly didnt trust. There is no evidence that the repubs will win the hispanic vote no matter what they do.

South Texas is very DEMOCRATIC but is also very CONSERVATIVE. It’s thanks to Hispanic Democrats that some conservative and prolife legislation gets passed in the Texas House.
To put it another way, the whacko leftists are either blacks or whites, but often not hispanics.
You say ... “There is no evidence that the repubs will win the hispanic vote no matter what they do.”
... how hard have you tried? And maybe it has nothing to do with amnesty.
Bush in 1998 won the majority of hispanic vote running for Gov. By doing so, he managed to rack up a huge majority.
Go figure.
Rather than say it CANT be done. Note that #1 it HAS been done and ask the question: How can we do it AGAIN?
