So much for that fresh start with Latino voters.
In a dramatic departure from their determination only months ago to win a second look from that rapidly-growing community, national Republicans have embarked on a sustained campaign to make the immigration crisis a central issue in 2014 and exhort voters to punish the White House for failing to lock down the U.S.-Mexico border.
The intensity of their rhetoric has increased as a surge of child migrants has renewed attention to the border and amid anticipation that President Barack Obama will issue a set of executive actions on immigration, including potentially suspending deportations for countless migrants.
Gone are the days of tiptoeing around the real and perceived sensitivities of the Latino community, which holds powerful sway over the Electoral College in presidential elections.
Public and private polling shows border control creeping up the list of concerns among conservative voters and independents, and the GOP is responding accordingly. Republican candidates are lacing into the Obama administration and its congressional allies for supporting “amnesty” and casting them as unable to secure the southern border.
Three major Republican Senate hopefuls – Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Scott Brown of New Hampshire and Terri Lynn Land of Michigan – are airing commercials blasting their Democratic opponents for supporting “amnesty” and attacking “lawlessness” and “chaos” on the border. Other candidates are expected to join them.

1/4+ of those voted GOP.
Of the remaining (about 7% of the overall electorate), most are in BLUE Calif., RED TX and RED AZ.
The Electoral College would not be altered if ALL Hispanics voted Democrat for at least another decade.
After that, we're likely screwed unless we restrict voting or eliminate it all together. OR, convince all White folks to vote as a bloc.
In all SW states, over 1/2 of the kids in school are "Hispanic"...or, in other words the children of illegals.
I am curious: why did a conservative family take so long to start voting conservative?
Well done, BTW. On the face of it, Hispanics SHOULD vote against Democrats. I’m glad your family does.
Why is it nobody ever publicly challenges these jerks who try to claim that the hispanic population wants amnesty for illegals? Surely, people who played by the rules and came here legally are not in favor of amnesty for the gate jumpers.
The truth is, Republicans do not need the hispanic or the black to win elections!

Right now, with the finely tuned Rat voter fraud machine, what they need is the kind of turnout that you describe in order to overwhelm all of the fraudulent votes.
Nobody will challenge them because on this issue the principles are all on the same team.
perhaps he should just move to Mexico if he loves the third world that much

No need; the Third World is coming to us.
Thanks, Bigg Red! That is precisely my point.
Last time I checked, we outnumbered them.
All we have to do is turn out the Conservative voters who sat out 2012, and we win!
I have seen several articles suggesting that the important thing for conservatives to do is GET OUT AND VOTE!
AGAINST LIEberals!
My concern is that millions of conservatives will sit out the 2014 election because their non-LIEberal candidate is not conservative enough.
Well, you know where that got us in 2008 and 2012 — FRicking Ophonybama!
And all of his evil entourage and their baggage!
McCain and Romney were not my first choices, but I believe I can safely say that had either of them won the Presidency, the USA and the world would not be nearly as chaotic and uncertain, and there would be a whole lot more people alive today, worldwide!
I am hopeful that We the People have learned our lesson; that We will get out and vote against Ophonybama, Dingy Harry and the evil LIEberals.
Those evil LIEberals are ruining my life, your life, and the life of virtually everyone in the world!
Except, of course, themselves and their cronies!
This is a message we HAVE TO ENSURE GETS OUT TO ALL CONSERVATIVES!
all too true and in some states it is already here
