Basically elected "establishment" Republicans have dutifully lined up behind the chosen candidate, Mitt Romney and are selling him to their constituents.
Then about this:
While preparing his re-election campaign, Obama is courting Hispanic leaders, reasserting his support for an immigration overhaul and revising rules to make it easier for close family members of U.S. citizens to avoid deportation and work here legally. The new rules spare illegal-immigrant relatives from having to return to their home countries indefinitely while seeking permission to re-enter on grounds of family hardship.
Jan 8, 2012: Re: “hardship waivers” ….”House liberals cheer proposed Obama administration immigration reform …..”Becerra on Friday said Republicans left the White House no other option but to act unilaterally on immigration reform. President Obama is right," he said. "We can't wait for Republicans in Congress to stop playing this nasty game of politics, blocking immigration reform legislation, which is tearing families and America apart."
Seek them...? All they have to do is visit Northern California. They’re everywhere....
They are going to need more than hispanics once the GOP runs off conservatives with the Socialist Light candidate (Romney).
After a couple of weeks with little mention of the immigration issue, some reports say that Romney will revive the discussion at tonight’s debate. With Obama and Holder intervening to block SC’s new immigration law, it will have some more immediacy than even in previous debates.
Well...I must say I’m stunned at the gall of anyone who would attempt to court the Hispanic vote. Doesn’t everyone know that LaRaza Ricardo has Hispanics, Mexicans, illegals, immigrants,illegal immigrants, future offspring of illegals, Mexican workers, Mexican non-workers, all in his corner and it’s one of the reasons he’s shunned. Why would Obama, the Dems and the we-had-no-choice-Republican Congress
want this?
I love this part:” While preparing his re-election campaign, Obama is courting Hispanic leaders, reasserting his support for an immigration overhaul and revising rules to make it easier for close family members of U.S. citizens to avoid deportation and work here legally. “
Hello. We’re from your friendly Immigration office. How are you today? Are you and your family close?
‘spose this legislation covers Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Omar types too?
Hugh Hewitt has been saying that Romney will announce Marco Rubio as his VP choice. Hewitt is a major Romney sycophant and probably has inside information.
And while Marco Rubio seems to be a matinee idol around here he sure isn’t for me. He failed the test when he was asked about Arizona’s 1070 bill, the bill that has allowed Arizona to enforce the immigration laws that Obama, and Dubya for that matter, refused to enforce.
Rubio opposed Arizona 1070.
Meaning that he puts the interests of illegal aliens ahead of the interests of the beleaguered American citizens of Arizona. It’s either ethnic pandering or ethnic solidarity. Rubio isn’t someone I want in higher office. Florida can keep him.
Are Hispanics a special class of “American” that needs to be handled differently? Or would a commonsense conservative message of lower taxes and less government appeal to them as it does to all Americans possessing commonsense?
