DALLAS — Sen. Rand Paul on Friday met with George P. Bush, a rising star in Texas GOP politics, to discuss how to broaden the Republican Party’s appeal in diverse communities.
“Really I wanted to get advice from him, as much as anything, about how the party grows in Texas and states with large Hispanic populations,” Paul (R-Ky.) told POLITICO backstage after stumping for a state senate candidate here.
Bush recommended “showing up” in those communities, Paul said. The senator, who has said he is seriously considering a 2016 presidential bid, often talks about the importance of growing the Republican Party, and has made it a point to reach out to minority communities. Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, is running for land commissioner here, and as a Hispanic Republican — his mother is from Mexico — has been a vocal advocate for expanding the GOP tent.
“He’s very personable and I love to see the young faces, the new faces, maybe in the party,” Paul said of Bush. “I also think he brings a lot to the party as far as being a fluent Spanish speaker.”
Bush tweeted a picture of the pair, adding, “Great to visit w/ @senrandpaul regarding the bright future for the GOP.”
Paul’s comments came after a speech at the Frontiers of Flight museum, where he threw himself into a hotly contested GOP state senate primary by campaigning for a tea party-backed candidate, Don Huffines, a real estate developer who has known the Paul family for decades.

That's a good opportunity...but what is actually being said? Political speak, or using this as an opportunity to teach how conservative principles benefit?
Screw them both. NO AMNESTY PUSHERS!!

Rand Paul, George P. Bush talk Hispanic outreach
I am all in favor for “outreach”. However, what has George P. Bush ever done in the world of politics to merit such a visit? Yes, I know that he is running for office right now. I also know that he has given a few political speeches. Anyhow, the advice he gave Rand Paul is sound as far as it goes. The GOP needs to actively campaign in all areas and must field candidates of all backgrounds.
I have a strong suspicion that Rand Paul will replace Daddy Paul and will jump in every presidential election for the foreseeable.
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow...

I live in a community that’s majority Hispanic. Most of the older generation are registered Republican. A candidate whose last name ends in Z, though, will get 100% of their vote. Rand needs to campaign against racism in those communities.
Open advice to George P:
I am all for Hispanic outreach.
I am TOTALLY OPPOSED to amnesty.
Outreach yes. But no amnesty. None.
“Rand Paul, George P. Bush talk Hispanic outreach”
That’s racist.
I don’t trust anyone who uses that 11/12 million figure. According to the last California census, there are close to 11 million in California alone. Since they have become a problem all across this nation, the true number must be staggering.
So all it takes is a name? No meat on that bone.
While he MIGHT have been a darling to Florida and national conservatives, Jeb Bush is married to a native of Mexico (Columba is the daughter of a migrant worker). And before you scream “ethnocentric bigot” at me, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Love knows no bounds.
George P. Bush is Jeb’s kid. Both he and junior are ALLEGED to be Republicans (RINOS?) but they are probably afflicted with a form of cultural schizophrenia, having a foot (or other body parts) in both cultures which may partially explain WHY they’re pushing AMNESTY. They’ve forgotten that THEIR loyalty SHOULD be to el Estados Unidos (sorry, the United States) and they swore oathes to the Constitution HERE, not that of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguy, etc.
And why the Pubbies are falling all over themselves to court the 16.4% (50,477,594) of allegedly LEGAL RESIDENTS who call themselves Hispanic is beyond reason. And that a number of Pubbies are hell bent on hiking that number by another 11 to 20 MILLION NEW VOTERS, a large percentage of whom — conditioned to the freebies and other goodies supplied over the years by BOTH parties — WILL BE DEMOCRATS, causes one to question their sanity.
Memo to the GOP: With a number of exceptions, the bulk of the hispanics already here are NOT Pubbies and the new ones won’t be either. Do you clowns have a DEATH WISH??
Between the invasion from the south and the Muslim invasion, any vestige of European culture — the culture MY great-grandparents and probably yours brought here after standing in line at places like Ellis Island, being interrogated, proving they had a “sponsor”, being deloused and recorded — will be a distant memory – IF it’s remembered at all.
And if — in some strange and metastasizing American desire to return to a royal family dynasty — Jeb or his son should win the White House in some future presidential beauty contest designed to divert the American electorate every four years, I’d bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W’s behavior look like a warm-up exercise.
All of that said, ya’ gotta wonder about why Rand Paul is now making pro-amnesty noises.
Bracing for FLAMES from the Bush people in here.
Texans! Support David Watts for Land Commissioner.
No dynasties!
its more likely around 50 million. fudge the numbers so people don’t know that illegal aliens are a huge drain on our economy.
Indeed that’s why I will not support Rand Paul...TROUBLE.
Whenever GOP and Hispanic voters are mentioned...it always means Amnesty
GOP needs to appeal to ALL voters
GP Bush just spouted the same talking points that the RNC already knew. Turn up in their communities.

Speaking in a mix of English and sometimes-halting Spanish, George P. Bush said his uncle was not to blame for the gun policy, which has angered Mexicans. He instead blamed it on “some local INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) guy who’s trying to be tough, act macho.”
