How important is the Hispanic/Latino vote for Republicans? Fox News recently did a segment on “Hispanic outreach.” Some left-wing media outlets have called it a “fluff piece.”
How committed are the right-wing presidential candidates to Hispanic voters? Will their policies address Hispanics’ concerns? Does it behoove Republicans to focus on anti-immigration policies? Will those with anti-immigration policies be able to attract Hispanic voters?
President Obama’s recent executive order on immigration has been one of the few times that he has been willing to stand up to the Republican Party, and they are, predictably, livid about his decision.
According to Mike Papantonio, he’s made the GOP feel impotent.
Considering the fact that presidents since George Washington have made executive orders, it is difficult to see how his executive orders are illegal.

Apparently, Mark Levin gets paid to go on rants about Latinos and television host Jorge Ramos…
Jorge Ramos Ávalos is a Mexican journalist and author based in Miami, Florida. He anchors the Univision news television program Noticiero Univision, Al Punto, and the Fusion TV English-language program America with Jorge Ramos.
Media Matters video.
“Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a leader in an anti-immigrant movement, agreed with a caller during his Sunday radio program that it’s possible that a Hispanic majority in the U.S. could conduct an ‘ethnic cleansing.’
Kobach made his remarks in response to a right-wing caller who asked, “What happens, if you know your history, when one culture or one race or one religion overwhelms another culture or race?”
Kobach understood: the caller was worried about ethnic cleansing.
“What protects us in America from any kind of ethnic cleansing is the rule of law, of course,” Kobach said. “And the rule of law used to be unassailable, used to be taken for granted in America. And now, of course, we have a President who disregards the law when it suits his interests…”

Jorge Ramos has been the anchorman for Noticiero Univision, on the American Spanish-language television network Univision, since 1986. He also hosts the Fusion TV English-language program, America with Jorge Ramos.
Has been called “Hispanic TV’s No. 1 correspondent and key to a huge voting bloc” by The Wall Street Journal. Time magazine included him in the list of “the 25 most influential Hispanics in the United States.”
Here he interviews Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. Notice how O’Reilly says that on certain issues he’s liberal, like the death penalty and global warming.
Ramos asked why he treats President Obama differently than he treated George W. Bush. (OK, Fine would disagree with the comment that O’Reilly “destroyed President Obama.”) O’Reilly said, “I gave him (Bush) the hardest questions I could give him.”
The interview was on America with Jorge Ramos.
OK, Fine.
