What to do? Make them all legal. They are here to stay anyway, so might as well get their votes

Reagan already did that in 1986.

Did That win votes for the GOP?

NO.

If we forget our principles in a bidding war for Latinos we will always get outbidded by the dims.

WE promise them car, the dims buy them a house...

Re: “Outreach”

This comes back to my Socialist vs. Conservative argument.

You didn't become a Conservative because of a GOP outreach program.

You just...knew.

You didn't get up and vote because of a GOP outreach program.

You voted because you can't imagine NOT voting.

Self-discovery and self-reliance are keystones of the Conservative philosophy.

You are correct, in terms of political organization Conservatives badly trail the Democrats.

But that is not stupidity or laziness.

I think it's just instinct.

Socialism is built on mass organization.

Conservatism is built on individual choice.

Socialists do it better because its the only thing Socialists have done for the last 150 years.

Oh please. Have we actively engaged the hispanic community where they live and where they work? Hell no. They view us as people who want to raid their workplaces, check their papers and send them backing. They hate us.

Did you ever bother to read my post?

NO

In the next election after Reagan' 1986 amnesty, Latinos percentage was barely different from the pre amnesty vote. Getting 1/3 of their vote while giving Democrrats 2/3s is a losing proposition.

We lost California, Nevada that way....
