Will Hispanic-Americans be ‘Juntos con Romney’?
Remember those right-wing bloggers and commentators who got bent out of shape by the creation of “African Americans for Obama,” accusing Obama of playing the race card or even being racist?
Just this week, Victor Davis Hanson was complaining that to Obama, “‘Us’ now means all sorts of targeted appeals to identity groups like African-Americans for Obama, Latinos for Obama, gays for Obamas, greens for Obama, or students for Obama.”
Yet Hanson and his colleagues were oddly silent this week when Mitt Romney announced the creation of “Juntos Con Romney,” or “together with Romney,” a team led by former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez to “help guide the campaign on important Hispanic initiatives and outreach.”
Nor did they complain when Romney produced ads such as these:
(Among other things, the ad promises that on Day One — Dia Uno — Romney will introduce tax cuts “that reward job creators, not punish them.” That means either higher deficits or higher taxes on the rest of us, but I digress.)
Personally, I’m glad to see Romney making the effort, hypocritical as it may be in some ways. As Jeb Bush noted this morning on CBS, the GOP needs to change its approach on immigration issues and its attitudes toward immigration.
“I worry that it’s shortsighted because tonally, in terms of the tone of the debate, it sends a signal ‘we want your support but you really can’t join our team…,’” Bush said. “Demographically, Latino voters, Hispanic voters, are gonna be important in this election but, going forward, even more so. … I think there needs to be a lot more intense efforts to recognize the demographics of the country are changing and our messaging, not our views, not our principles … need to change as well.”
Bush, for example, has endorsed the concept of a DREAM Act allowing young immigrants who were brought here illegally as children to attend college. Gutierrez, the chair of “Juntos con Romney,” has also endorsed the legislation. Romney has said he would veto such a bill.
And rather than be frightened or angered at the sound of Spanish, Bush argues that “When we hear foreign languages in the streets of America, that is a validation of the Republican vision to create a place where people want to come and make their lives.”
Romney, in contrast, has long supported making English the nation’s official language, an effort that many Hispanics see as an insult. In other words, while Romney may make superficial gestures of inclusion, and while he personally may feel differently, he is too weak to try to challenge forces within his party that make tangible, effective outreach impossible.

Business wants illegals for cheap labor. Politicians want them for the vote. The Catholic Church wants them for parisoners. That our Govt. tolerates millions of illegals, many of whom see making English our official language as an insult, only shows how both parties feel they can ignore the wishes of the majority and slavishly pander to the wants of the illegal minority. How did this happen?
In the same way that the majority of Americans can’t get our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. So, when both Parties ignore the majority of Americans, you can either vote for the lesser of the evils, vote for a third party or just not vote at all. As Paul Simon more or less said “any way you look at it, you lose”.

My church had a Republican guy come in and ask to start a voter’s registration drive. When my sister, who is an American but has lived in Brazil for the past 15+ years so her english is “choppy”, asked him, in broken english, how she could help, he told her the first thing she needed to do was to “Become a Citizen”.
I was a bit confused when she told me this. I mean, if he didn’t think the majority of our parishoners WERE legal citizens, why was he at our church trying to start a “voters registration” drive in the first place?
Made no sense to me………….

As we learned earlier today, it’s not the principle, it’s the Party that’s the guiding force behind the decision to praise or condemn.
Gotta have high principles, ya’ know.
Jeb Bush’s wife is Hispanic. I think that gets him a bit of credibility on this subject. But that won’t make any difference to Republican ideologues.
As far as Romney, opening a dialogue may open his mind, but it may not do a thing for his spine.

Jay, your masters at MoveOn are pulling out all the stops aren’t they? The Wisconsin and California votes hurt you bad, didn’t it? The truth is, under Obama, the immigrants to this nation are suffering more than anyone else. Those that still want to work (as opposed to those that have already learned to live off of entitlements) cannot find a job. Many of the hardworking Hispanics are now returning to Mexico and many more aren’t even bothering to come here at all because they know there are no jobs. So, in short, what good is immigration reform when you have nothing to offer them if they did come? You liberals have completely missed the point. Obama has been the great destroyer of jobs. He has spent billions upon billions for his favorite campaign donor industries while penalizing those that he know his base hates such as coal and gas and the jobs just plain didn’t develop. No-one can trust the Labor Department numbers anymore. When Obama touts that a bus driver driving a diesel bus is a “green” employee you know we are in big, big trouble. Diesels have been around for about 100 years so why weren’t they green before? When you have 20% of the working age people of this country unemployed the un-employment number is way higher than 8.2%, isn’t it?

End of day it takes two to tango and spending is nothing new to either party. One can say that spending increased when Dems took over in 06 (it did), but they can’t say it was going down in the 1st 6 yrs of Bush……. because it wasn’t.
End of the day, I am for cuts across the board and phasing in of the taxes rates in place when Clinton was in office.
Ryans’s budget was as big of a fraud as Obama’s. Now it is time for all of the to sit at the table like adults and get something done.

Nevermind then. But back in the day Doomy was quite the playa down in Central America. Hot Hispanic honeys are always welcome at my door. Yo me gusta las muchachas bonitas!

if the GOP really does want to play this card, they’ll take on Obama for his not always legally kosher deportation policies
True but that would imply that Romney would ease deportation. The base ain’t gonna like that one bit.

Is somebody going to break it to Vast that Rubio IS a natural-born citizen? And that the election is still a long way from over?
Or maybe, to borrow Vast’s phrase from another thread, Rubio is foreign born in that alternate universe in which Vast lives.

Romney is a descendant of Mexicans. Romney goes against legalizing those children while he himself is a child of such people?
