No more illegal immigrants, I am outraged that some hispanics are voting for obama since he will allow illegal immigrants in, they broke the law kick them out
And that is how you lost the election
Even Karl Rove is lamenting the loss in the Latinos. Party will be making a push to bring them in. Non of that is happening while you are threatening to card and deport them all the time.
People need to stand up to these illegal immigrants, report them and help get them kicked out. They are one of the groups causing the demise of this country
Doesn't really matter what the Republicans do, the left has won. By 2016 we'll have enough Latinos voting, legal or not, that either the Republicans eternally lose or they become just a second Democrat primary. Same policies, but you get two rounds of votes for who'll carry them out. I predict that 2016 is the year Texas goes blue, and after that there'll just be two parties competing to hand out the most loot.

I see them remaining a demographic without a voice for the foreseeable future. Neither the fiscally conservative nor the socially conservative parts of the Republican Party can be competitive alone, and each drives away some of the other. Democrats on the other hand promise something for everyone. What cares the person who wants others to pay for his health care if someone else is getting a free education or free day care or government subsidies for his solar telephone sterilizing company? We're importing (legally and illegally) more and more poor people who want "free" stuff, and we're creating with our outsourcing and welfare programs more and more poor people who want "free" stuff. It's a double whammy, and one for which the Republicans have no real answer. If the Republicans can't beat Obama they can't beat anyone on the left, so they have a choice, they can either choose to be a permanent minority party with increasingly less relevance and power, or they can choose to become the Democrats and promise more "free" stuff, or at least more efficient handing out of the "free" stuff. I predict the latter; I think they'll be more interested in holding office than in holding whatever principles they have. Essentially you can vote for the Democrat, or you can vote for the other Democrat. Fiscal conservation will mean nothing more than 75% of the country getting government checks rather than 76%, or 75% top brackets versus 90% top brackets.What do you see happening to those who are turned off by the R's pandering to the religious right and social conservatism, but don't care for most of the Democrat platform either, say mainly due to being fiscal conservative? It seems like this is a growing demographic without a voice, could be wrong however.
One possible ray of light the Repubs might have is that many latinos are religious. I have heard that mentioned before, no idea how or if it will play out in reality.
As far as immigration, anyone else get frustrated that nowadays wanting to simply enforce existing laws and return to a sane, diverse, and orderly immigration policy is painted by many as anti-immigration? Or perhaps xenophobic? For awhile 'nativism' was the word du jour.
So sick of the disingenuous bullshit surround this issue, while both sides use the poor saps for political gain.
Does anyone think say Sweden or Denmark are racist xenophobic assholes for enforcing their immigration policies and not allowing people to freely cross their borders and setup shop? No?

Who is going to kick them out? Go ahead and report them to Obama, he'll laugh in your face. Even better, what did Bush do about it the eight years he had? Nothing.
Whose going to do it!? Not Democrat, not Republican. Who did you vote for today? Part of the problem.
They're culturally religious, but that's not going to matter at the ballot box. I can't find any numbers from 2012 yet, but didn't Obama win the Catholic vote by a good margin in 2008?
