They have enough problems already, but a poll released Monday is sure to give anti-immigration extremists and Republican leaders plenty more to fret about.

He seems to be saying Republicans and ''anti-immigration extremists'' need to do whatever they can to out-pander the statists if they want to be elected.

You shouldn’t fight a battle you can’t win. 80% of hispanics are going to end up in the Democratic camp no matter what the Republicans do.

The Republicans need to focus on groups they can attract: Asians and Indians (not native americans, but people from India.) Their values are much more in line with conervative values and are growing rapidly. Republicans can get 80% of these two groups votes if they work at it.

"Immigration" meaning, amnesty for tens of millions of illegals currently here and their extended families in Mexico (and elsewhere). Most of them are too blind to see that they're creating here precisely what they tried to escape from down there.

Actually I love this guy - first the Obama Administration's Homeland (in)Security chief claims that I'm a "homegrown terrorist" now I'm also an "extremist," according to the author of this rag.

Keep it coming libs as I proudly wear my labels.

Mexican immigrants are very often Catholic. We need to appeal to their higher spiritual and moral being. We need to continually spotlight the Democrats’ anti-Christian, pro-abortion, anti-marriage, pro-homosexual, pro-tax positions whenever and wherever possible. Spanish pamphlets, tracts, media spots, signs, all of it. We need to challenge their consciences, even if political success is slim.

Actually, this IS a big problem. The ‘Pubbies don’t stand a chance for getting any of the back vote; if they give up the Hispanic vote they could be crippled.
Of course, how much of “giving up the Hispanic vote” is giving up the PRK, which the ‘Pubbies haven’t won in a long time?

I call BS on this poll.

Mexican-Americans don’t want criminals taking their jobs for starvation wages.

Also Eastern European immigrant groups.

The rest of what you posted is dead on.

But with the RNC leadership and GOP leaders in Congress don’t bet on them ‘getting it’ anytime soon.

Albor Ruiz is an idiot. The GOP, however stupidly, fully supports shamnesty and will be more than happy to back the Democrats to get it passed.

Our present immigration policies and illegal immigration tolerance are big reasons why Republicans have to fret. Pandering to the conquistadors will only make things worse, not only for the Republican Party, but for the rest of America. But, if you want to look at the darker side, once 0 and his merry band of Fascist dreamers are through, the immigration problem will be minuscule, compared to the other disasters. Besides, what do the Multiculturalists care about the Republican Party? Why are they offering advise? My guess is that it isn’t to help us. Why does Albor Ruiz call citizens who are concerned about the culture and political balance of this nation extremists? Why does he insult us with demeaning terms like nativism and intolerance? Because he resides in the ignorance of his own politics. Take a look at what is happening to this country right now. The continued flood of Hispanics from Mexico and Central America will only make it worse. They will always vote in large majorities for the Fascist Democrats.

I’ve got a Mexican-American guy working on some tile at my house right now and he was telling me how hard it is for him to get good work nowadays. He knows first hand why ‘’comprehensive immigration reform’’ is supported by business groups - it’s called wage suppression.

I'm sorry but I have to vent my frustration with this BULLSH!T... I wish people would stop using the f*&king word HISPANIC! That is a broad generalization. Say immigrants, or Mexican-Americans, anything else but Hispanic. I'm Puerto Rican so I fall in the category of Hispanic and you know what... I WANT THE BORDER CLOSED AND ILLEGALS SENT HOME! NOW!

Unless they are coming to America to be a valuable part of society... GO HOME! More than anything I consider myself an American, being that I was born in New York. Even if I was born in Puerto Rico that would still make me an American. But every time people say Hispanic's this and Hispanic's that, I feel thrown in with the whole lot by default.

Thank you for your post.

My neighbor, a Mexican-American, said the same thing before he was killed in an accident by an illegal driving a truck.
