Reince Priebus to Latinos: the GOP has changed - Washington Times

“In America, it doesn’t matter where you come from; it matters where you’re going,” Mr. Priebus noted.

GOP returns with their tail between their legs.

"But I hope that it’s clear that we do want to earn your trust and your vote, and that we can find common ground..."

Translation from right-wing nonsense to English: "I hope we can dupe you into believing that we're going to care about your concerns rather than just paying them lip-service while we work to indoctrinate you into our ethos of egoistic avarice."

After looking at several threads over the last 4 years, I have come to the conclusion that if you don't support illegal immigration and/or jump on the amnesty bandwagon, the majority of Hispanics/Latinos won't vote for you and you are labeled a racist.

At the same time we are told not to associate illegal immigration with certain races/nationalities - Latinos/Mexicans/Guatemalans/Brazillians etc

I am a little confused on how that is even supposed to make sense?

So you're telling me one party needs to disregard the rule of law in order to gain votes? Is that what Hispanics want? Do they really think they are above the law because of the color of their skin? Because that is the impression I am getting: "Give them amnesty, or else..."

Yeah, they "changed" like all the other times they said they had...then jettisoned Hispanics when they need to do something to help them as a group.

They are the abuser in the relationship that keeps saying "Oh baby, things will be better next time"...and Hispanics come back till the next time the GOP decides to slap them around a bit.

Nothing in the story or original post mentions illegal immigration.

You are the first to bring it up.

If you don't realize that, then you are confused.

Hmm no, the article does mention it: "Republicans have "reshaped" their outreach, Mr. Priebus told the group, which represents some 6,000 officials. Republicans get community; they get neighborhoods and churches. They get immigration and educational reform..."


What do you think this "immigration reform" is all about? Or are you that clueless? Immigration reform is about addressing illegal immigration more than actual legal immigration in case you haven't heard.

Just what are Hispanic concerns that aren't the concerns of all Americans? Oh that's right they think their ethnic group should be above our immigration laws and will blackmail our politicians for votes to get what they want.
