I fear you are correct - the GOP establishment wants to return to being the neocon party that favors free trade deals and open borders to get more illegal labor that drives down wages.

The GOPe wants to move to the left. Basically a US version of the toothless Conservative Party of GB. Easiest way to do that is import a bunch of Democrats and shift the elecorate hard left. Then the GOP only has to be one inch to the right of the radical Dems to pick up every moderate and right vote. At least that is the theory. They all but admired it in Romney’s “autopsy report.” In reality if people want Democrat policies they will just vote for Democrats leaving the GOP out of power.
