Does Immigration Hurt Republicans?
Charles Taylor doesn’t seem to think so.
I don’t know many who challenge the idea that immigration can be a winning issue for Republicans this year - as long as they produce an enforcement bill. The debate seems to be whether it will cause more damage down the road with latino voters.
It will be interesting to see how widely it is used by Republican candidates. Immigration seems to ‘cut’ more away from the borders. It will be used by some of the Ohio and Pennsylvania candidates mentioned by Tom Reynolds - those on the ‘watch list’ - in the same way that Taylor is using it in North Carolina.

The Idea that poor, uneducated people coming from a socialist state and having a poor opinion of the gringos are going to become Republicans always struck me as a most stupid idea.
They are natural pickings for the Democrat hustlers. True, after they have been here a couple of generations, those who have not succumbed to the welfare state mentality might become Republicans, but thats a long wait.
