It might surprise you to hear that I agree with that.  I've been working on convincing my Republican friends that they're missing the opportunity of the century, which is the opportunity to turn the largest minority, the Hispanics, to a majority Republican faction.  Their culture is religious, family-oriented, hard-working with a high percentage of small business entreprenuers.  And they will vote GOP if you treat them as equals.

Our largest border city, El Paso, a city of 970,000 that's 85% Hispanic, just had their 2016 mayoral election go to a runoff, in which the white guy beat the Hispanic guy, and both of them -- the top two vote-getters -- are Republicans.  That didn't surprise me.  When I was in El Paso in 1974, my boss, a white conservative Republican, won the mayor's race in a landslide, by promising equal economic opportunity to Hispanic small business.  We could have the Hispanics voting GOP for the next 200 years... just give their undocumented friends a legal way to stay.
