The Corner - National Review Online: "If Republicans want to change their stance on immigration, they should do so on the merits, not out of a belief that only immigration policy stands between them and a Republican Hispanic majority. It is not immigration policy that creates the strong bond between Hispanics and the Democratic party, but the core Democratic principles of a more generous safety net, strong government intervention in the economy, and progressive taxation. Hispanics will prove to be even more decisive in the victory of Governor Jerry Brown’s Proposition 30, which raised upper-income taxes and the sales tax, than in the Obama election. "

Yep. Republicans aren't getting the Hispanic vote any time soon. And I would add another reason they won't be voting Republican: racial identity. For better or worse, (worse) Democrats are the party of non-whites.
