Immigration and the Republican Party

Some time ago I commented that the Republicans were busy destroying the great start Bush had made in getting Hispanics to vote Republican. In some ways it would be a natural match, and not just for Cuban Americans. But, I said, the anti illegal immigrant talk was too often couched in terms of anti-immigrant talk, or worse, anti-Hispanic talk. Josh Marshall has this comment on the same topic. Take a look at it and see what you think.

Now that Democrats control Congress, it is possible that Bush may be able to pass his idea of immigration reform, which has been anathema to some conservatives. That would be one positive outcome of the elections.
