Serious whats wrong growing your Hispanic base? They don’t like being violated by the Feds any more then anyone else! We’re talking about tax paying citizens here not illegals.
The problem is that the GOP strategy for "growing their Hispanic base" inevitably boils down to de facto amnesty for illegals (I don't care if you want to call it "path to citizenship", it is what it is), liberalized immigration law, and support for multiculturalism.
In other words, the GOP strategy of appealing to minorities is to become more like the Democrats.
