Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration."
I agree with him that Latinos should be a natural constituency. But the issue isn't that the GOP has pushed them away; it's that the Dems have gotten very, very good at policy misrepresentation and identity politics that Latinos refuse to even look at all the issues where they're Conservative and therefore more aligned with the GOP.
Boehner, as I've said in other threads, has stumbled into the right course on this: we don't trust Obama and the Dems, we can't trust Obama and the Dems. Until their nonsense stops - and that includes both enforcing the existing laws AND cutting out the identity politics crap we're not even going to discuss the matter.
Which, of course, results in the stalemate that Paul mentions: because without identity politics the Dems have absolutely nothing ...

No, Rand Paul is a demagogue.
