Mitt is right, Hispanics and Asians should be flocking to our party's ideals of family values, protection of life and individual freedom. By not resolving this issue in the most conservative fashion possible, we allow the liberals to use it against us. Meanwhile we fail to enlist the socially conservative Hispanics and Asians who should be Republicans.
There is a way to reform the immigration mess in a sensible and conservative fashion. Why aren't we doing it?
Immigration is demagogued. I’d have to see what Romney proposed before I could tell you whether I thought it was rational or not. At some point last year, he managed to get some support from the anti-illegal-immigrant anti-amnesty crowd. But he certainly wasn’t the best candidate on that issue.
