5 Reasons Amnesty Would Be Political Suicide For The Republican Party

You can add a fifth reason: that plenty of DEMOCRATS also oppose amnesty, so the talk of how Republicans "must" appeal to Hispanics in order to win is really attempt to get Republican votes as cover for Democrats who refuse to vote for it. Even Harry Reid admits that he doesn't have enough Democratic votes to push amnesty without Republicans--and it was the failure of five DEMOCRATS to vote for it that doomed the Dream Act in 2010.

Of all the misguided, corrupt and deranged ideas floating around inside the D.C. bubble, perhaps the single worst one is giving illegal aliens amnesty as part of some sort of attempt to capture the Hispanic vote. If the GOP were to pursue a policy that primarily benefits corrupt business owners, the government of Mexico, and Democrats at the expense of our country and our own base, we'd truly deserve the "Stupid Party" moniker that has so often been hung around our neck. This policy wouldn't be a calculated risk or even a longshot; it would be a game of Russian Roulette...
