Yes, I heard this news that the GOP leader announced they would ‘imbrace’ immigration reform aka AMNESTY, even though the RNC platform says NO AMNESTY. These asses even lie to themselves. The numbers prove the GOP won’t gain numbers by catering to hispanics, so what is really going on here?
“Say there are only 12 mn illegal immigrants in America. Let’s assume they’re legalized and that Republicans achieve George W. Bush levels of the Hispanic vote (44%). That still gives the Democrats a net gain of 1.6 million new voters – 6.72 mn new supporters vs 5.28 mn.
Easy to see why the Democrats are for this. But why would a Republican Party that is not suicidally-minded support this?
If amnesty is passed, you can kiss the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and many governorships and state legislatures goodbye, forever. Republicans will never again be able to win any national election again. The Democrats will gain at least 1.6 mn new voters on net and will thus have permanent majorities in Arizona, Texas, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada”

If the GOP wants the Hispanic vote, all they have to do is agree with the Pope and go right socially - against abortion and homosexuality. The millions of Catholic Hispanics will follow them anywhere.
