Our only chance to gain the Hispanic vote is to come out for common sense immigration reform now and pray to God that it is enough.

What the hell, Boehner, McCain, etc. get favorable coverage in the NY Times, and all you give up is the future of democracy in this nation. Let's support GOP "leaders" who want to compete with Obama buying votes. Long term sacrifice of the nation for possible short tame gain.

She isnt going to be too popular here with ideas like that.

It shows how pathetic Rs are that their only approach to hispanics is being Obama’s bitch on illegal immigration.
Somehow I dont see that as helping them much with anyone.

I proposed a 'common-sense' idea here a while back: that we grant temporary 1 year visas to those here illegally who apply and they are valid till April 15th at which time they must submit a tax return showing they paid the top marginal tax rate, whatever it is that Obama gets passed.
And they must be IDed finger prints and photos and cell sampled to get it so its easy to find them later and boot them out.

Oh, and give us a new tax deduction for being here legally in the first place.

That would hurt.
