The real problem for the GOP is that we are no longer the same people (electorate) that we were in 1970 or 1980. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 90 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history.
Multiculturalism, liberal control of the education system, and government programs that reinforce racial, ethnic, and gender identities, e.g., affirmative action, minority business set asides, etc., have affected assimilation into America and respect for the vision and ideas of our Founders and the importance of the Constitution.

Reagan would never be elected Governor in CA today. It has nothing to do with his political philosophy or his ideas. He would have an R after his name, which would make him unelectable. Reagan didn't change but the electorate of CA has. The consequences of that demographic change are permanent and long lasting. It will be many generations before any Rep candidate for President is ever victorious in CA.
And that same process that transformed CA is happening now in CO, NM, AZ, VA, FL, NC, and NV.

If you feel that is not possible and don’t wish to help find a way, we really don’t have any choice but to roll over and die.

Are not legal immigrants offended by the illegal immigrants cutting lines just to take advantage of the fruits of liberty without bearing any of the burden?
