#1 The interesting piece is that approval by recent immigrants has dropped by 20 points in 2010. (74% to 52).

#2 The bad news is that western GOP operatives will likely see this as an opportunity to grab hispanic votes, and pander accordingly.

#3 If the GOP panders properly, towards LEGAL immigrants I think they would do well. Make that a hard and fine distinction. These people jump in line and cause all sorts of problems and then some folks try to blur the distinction which is unjust. If they pander towards fixing complicated immigration laws (and while removing anchor babies) and fixing the worker Visa laws so that those here simply to work don't have to come across the desert and can't simply stay under the radar, and kill any thought of amnesty.

If they did all of that they'd change the debate and force the Democrats into agreeing, or coming out against minimum wage laws and workplace safety laws based on ethnic background which is the nut of the pro-illegal position.

#4 Sounds great, rj, and that's what needs to be done, but unfortunately, the current crop of GOP leaders would rather take the easy route and do the "god's children" route, pretend to be against "discrimination" etc and try to snare a few diasffected hispanic votes-- all while doing nothing to solve the problem. This is what W did and what Rove, Steve Schmidt, Mike Murphy and the rest of the western GOP strategists advise. They all think supporting enforcement/opposing amnesty is a third rail and the GOP is better off not even touching the issue.

We really need a new political class in this country.

#5 "We really need a new political class in this country."

Truer words have never been spoken but unfortunately anyone outsider of the normal Republicrat/Democran parties is greeted with scorn in large parts of the country :(

#6 seems that since tar and feathers fell out of vogue, the political class has been much moving further and further out of touch with the people.
