If the GOP is dead because of not regularizing and giving amnesty to illegals, how come Abel Maldonaldo, a Republican pro-amnesty American of Mexican descent, got defeated in California?
How did Hispanic Republicans with hard line views on illegals get swept into office?
The liberal media would like to propagate that Americans are pro-illegal, but I think one issue that binds Americans across party lines is their opposition to illegal immigration and pandering to the Latino fascist groups.
I actually believe that a hard line approach is politically better for the GOP than a pandering, supplicating approach, despite what the liberal propagandists in the media spew on a regular basis about the GOP losing Hispanics over the illegal issue.
If we don't roll over for amnesty and open borders, we will lose the Latino vote. /s
Boo hoo. I’m crying so hard I can barely type.
“I actually believe that a hard line approach is politically better for the GOP than a pandering,”
I think you’re a 100% correct. Talking to local legal immigrants, they are either lying to me or they don’t want the illegals either.
Pandering to the racist elements of the “Latino vote” will only make the matter worse. Give them enough numbers, as of now, and look at how the concept of “illegal” doesnt seem to matter. More more birthright citizens. The time to stop is now. No more excuses. If Latinos want to punish candidates, then the results will be more and more Anglos coming over to the conservative side
Better now than later. Pandering for votes and looking the other way is what got us here in the first place.
Sometimes it’s hard to do the right thing. Hopefully the new Tea Party Repub’s coming in will do the right thing regardless of the screaching from the lefties.

This is a stupid question. If your parents are here ILLEGALLY how can that possibly under any stretch of the imagination make you LEGAL? It cannot and it was never intended to do so.
Every poll I have seen on the subject has been over 90% and against “anchor babies”.
Vote Republican, or those guys will BE the police.
But it also could further hurt the GOP in its endeavor to grab a large enough share of the growing Latino vote . . .
The "growing Latino vote" will only get larger if the Pubbies allow amnesty in any form, and they ain't a'gonna vote anything but Democrat if they do get it.
I remain eternally skeptical of advice given by the left about what the GOP should do to win.
This is kinda funny, since the GOP just picked up two House seats in formerly Dimocrat, predominately Latino districts in South Texas.
Which you won’t hear about on NPR because it just doesn’t fit their template.
AMERICANS of Mexican or other Spanish descent know who shares their values.
“...I think one issue that binds Americans across party lines is their opposition to illegal immigration...”
That’s because the Rule of Law is the unspoken theme at the center of this article. Liberals/Progressives ignore it totally, and this is at their peril.
Once the Rule of Law breaks down no one is safe in public, at home, or in their person.
I suspect the majority of Libs don’t perceive this fact — they’re totally operating on emotion with this issue and the desire to hopefully acquire more Democratic voters.
They’re being used by that faction which wants to overturn and gut the U.S.A., then establish a communist government amid the chaos.
George Soros has a hell’uva lot of money wrapped up in this issue.
Yeah, it’s a crackdown: The DREAM act is dead and our government is actually considering enforcing its own laws.

Tired of paying for people who have no right to it. Including the idiots at NPR.
You can’t outpander the libs anyway ... the left will never love you Olympia and Susan et al, so do what’s best for your country.
The worst thing that has happened to Americans of hispanic descent is illegals. There are a few that have made money off exploiting illegals but the majority have seen the damage that has been done by illegals.
Depending on which poll numbers you use, 70% to 80% of Americans are opposed to illegal immigration. Those numbers also (more or less) run across all demographics.
Any dolt ought to be able to see that bucking that trend is a losing political strategy.
Response: Many brave words will be uttered with chest tones of deep conviction, study groups formed, discussion, debate, different points of view shall be expressed on the "topic". Billions in ad revenue will be made by media conglomerates. In the meantime relity dictates that millions will pour over the border and the taxpayer will pick up the expense and politicians the Mexican votes.(Plus Mexican drug money!)
Birthright citizenship is the ace in the hole for ILLEGAL ALIENS to LEGALLY collect state and federal benefits. It may be a bigger magnet to this country than jobs and drains the system for years on end. IT MUST END NOW.
