My grassroots immigration organization had a booth at CPAC for five years. I sat on the annual executive panel that established a theme for CPAC and what speakers to invite. It was a constant struggle to make immigration a major issue. I sat next to Grover Norquist who really ran CPAC under David Keene. He was a constant thorn in the side of those of us who wanted to address the immigration issue.

When Cardenas took over, he shifted the balance towards amnesty. One of his aides and myself got into a shouting match at one of the CPAC welcoming events. He essentially said that the problem with the GOP were people like me who did not want to adopt the policy of outreach. CPAC is just a creature of the Establishment under the veneer of conservatism. They tried to ambush Ann Coulter today and she outsmarted them.

The GOP won't win many more Hispanic votes because most Hispanics favor Big Government and enjoy the benefits it offers. They are not conservatives.
