Bill O’Reilly weighed in on immigration reform in tonight’s Talking Points Memo, arguing that a hard-line stance by the GOP will help Democrats. […]
“The Republican Party must compromise on the immigration issue or it will lose the presidency again in 2016,” O’Reilly said. He noted that Mitt Romney only got 27 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012.
“If that happens again, you can say hello to President Hillary Clinton,” he said. …

O’Reilly will be one of those that votes for the 70 year old battle-axe.
I agree. Total control of borders, coasts, and visas is the first step. After that we don’t need any more steps. All the other laws on the books are more than workable.
The truth is, though, that the other side wins by having nothing done. They just get to keep hiring illegals under the radar, and illegals get to keep coming.
They win by getting a new amnesty bill, or they win by keeping the status quo.
What these imbeciles fail to recognize is that pro-amnesty Republican candidates wind up alienating far more conservative opponents of illegal immigration than they can ever hope to attract among Hispanic voters. So the net result of pandering to minorities is fewer votes rather than more.
My understanding is that Bill’s audience are mostly senior citizens.
I don’t know a single person who watches him, he is widley considered a buffoon.
So what is the compromise? Let all illegals have all the rights, privileges and entitlements of those here legally? Then I’ll bet the 47% would not be against of sharing their goodies. Let the newly legal go to the front of the line for public housing, Medicaid, need scholarships, adjust SNAP and replace English speaking teachers with those who speak other languages.
If Republicans don’t compromise and demand people use the current laws to stand in line and come here legally then they will do better.
Immigration HELL! The Republicans need to not compromise on impeachment. That will drag Hillary to hell. Get the investigation started and let’s see her squirm when she’s called to testify on Benghazi. There’s enough facts out there to slice and dice the ****. The GOP gets something served up on a platter and they still blow it. Is it time to spoon feed them?
BS. Do the math O’Idiot. Romney could have got 80% of the “hispanic” vote and still would have lost. Same with McLame.
Mark Levin likes to point out that the % of “hispanics” voting GOP has been declining since 1980 in every presidential election. Even AFTER Reagan signed Amnesty in 1986 GHW Bush got less in percentage in 1988 than in ‘84.
