I am saying that an anti-Obama independent group do this, The Republicans doing this could backfire on them.
Romney, himself, or Ryan, could cut an ad warning Hispanic families here legally to advise the illegal youngsters among their numbers to not take a chance on the deferral working out. He could promise that he would, instead, call for a law to be passed when he’s elected, a law that would provide them a clear path to citizenship without having to risk deportment,..
I definitely don't like that idea.
Romney was the most anti-amnesty candidate in the primary, Him flipping that big now would keep many Republicans home on election day.

That’s a reasonable suggestion, although the group doing so would likely be tagged as a aligned with the GOP anyway.

I agree that this would be very risky, for the reason you state. And it’s probably not necessary pre-election. However, I do think the way to make inroads on the Hispanic vote is to find a reasonable compromise on how to deal with the long-term illegals, especially those brought here while very young, and to combine that compromise with the passing of a law that strictly enforces our national borders.
Obama failed to do that, as did Bush and everyone before him for that matter, but demographics argue that the GOP has to eventually make inroads into the Hispanic vote, or risk obsolescence as a party. A principled approach to a compromise might be a decent start.

Agreed.
