GOP Gives Up Hispanic Vote

11:11 pm EST November 28th, 2005 | Republicans | 4 Comments

I guess they’ve given up pretending and prefer to throw some red meat to the base, saying that they really don’t like those brown-skinned folks.

Now, I’m against “guest worker” programs myself, and I think we ought to have secure borders – including our northern border, the one the GOP doesn’t seem to care about – but the Republican’s immigration jones is nothing more than a sop to the racist base of the Republican party (see Malkin practically panting with anticipation here). I see 2008 in the GOP being a race to prove who hates the brown-skinned folks the most.

    how is a proposed guest worker program so obviously racist? it’s a better idea than just letting possible illegal day laborers hang by the 7-11 in herndon virginia. securing our borders is a nice idea, but it will never happen as long as there is a demand for cheap labor.

    I really do not understand your underlying assumption that Republicans hate brown skinned folks

    Feigned ignorance doesn’t become you, JD.

    Look, if Repugs really wanted to end illegal immigration–they could. But to do it they’d have to target demand not supply. IOW, Repugs would be going after all the businesses who love undocumented workers because it keeps their labor and overhead costs down.

    But, no. Repugs won’t target businesses–better to go after some poor brown-skinned guy who is only hoping to eke out a living for him and his family.

    I really do not understand your underlying assumption that Republicans hate brown skinned folks. But, I guess you need some hyperbole to get on the radar of the others bloggers on the left.
