Former staffers for defeated California candidates Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina have an urgent message for fellow Republicans: Their political future depends on Latino voters, and the Obama administration may be providing an opening.

Mr. Wilson, managing partner at Wilson-Miller Communications Inc. in Sacramento, said that if the topic of immigration arises, Republicans should avoid anti-immigration rhetoric meant to stir up the conservative base. "We're on safe ground when we say, 'We have to secure our borders and get a guest-worker program, then work on a pathway for citizenship for people who are already here'—and then quickly pivot off of that and talk about [other] issues important to Latinos," he said.

Political observers say, though, that more immigration-friendly policies, such as giving citizenship to undocumented workers, could alienate the conservative Republican base.

Thank you. You’re very kind. If we can just get the GOP to play the hand.

Notice they didnt get the Hispanic vote in CA with their pandoring.

And rational independents, and even some Dems.

Not to mention that tens of millions of new poorly educated leftist voters just might destroy the nation.
