Why do articles always assume that the Republican Party needs to broaden its appeal to hispanics? A Republican Party that campaigned about the potential for success for all US citizens, across the economic and social spectrum, would appeal just fine to hispanics who came to the US so they could succeed on their own merits

Pandering never wins people to ones cause.

tar the Republican Party as anti-immigrant

So I guess boosting American's job opportunities is now considered anti-immigrant.

Maybe this will quiet down some Trump supporters since he is unlikely to support this proposal.

The vast majority of US politicians need to get their heads out of their back pocket; legal immigration is not the issue, it is a political side show.

The issue is, "Who is taking all the low-skilled jobs? And, the answer is not, "Legal immigrants."

From the article: "California is gone because of the invasion," Herron said, referring to that state's growing Hispanic population. "The same thing is happening here in Colorado."

As a native and former resident of California and owner of real estate in Colorado, Herron nails it.

To return a lot of jobs to the US, it needs to do three things.

1) Close the border to illegal immigration, and build border prisons for dangerous criminal illegals to be detained awaiting repatriation after serving their criminal sentences.

2) “In 1965, the United States passed the Hart-Celler Act, abolishing nation-of-origin restrictions. Effective June 30, 1968, immigration and naturalization exclusion on the basis of race, sex, or nationality was prohibited. Under the Hart-Celler Act, new immigration criteria was based on kinship ties, refugee status, and ‘needed skills.’”

This law needs to be repealed. It needs to be replaced with a nation-of-*birth*-origin restrictions, to prevent immigration “leap frogs”, who use an acceptable nation as a spring board to come to America. And as with most countries, money and education prior to coming to the US should matter as well.

Likewise, H1-B visas should be restricted to jobs where a “good faith effort” has been made and failed to recruit Americans first.

3) Exclude from the US market companies that do not employ a substantial number of Americans, use American raw materials, or pay US taxes. If they want to play here, they have to follow our rules.
