Republicans break up with Hispanics

[DonViejo]

By Fernando Espuelas

Breakups are rough — regrets, pain and bitter memories. As Republicans in the House block immigration reform time after time, American Latinos get the message: It's over, don't call me. Have a good life.

Incapable of producing even one GOP vote in favor of the Democrats' last-ditch gamble at forcing an open vote of the House, the message to Latinos is crystalline. Whatever goodwill the clutch of pro-immigration reform House Republicans won in the last year since the Senate passed its bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill has now evaporated.

What remains are the weekly flip-flops by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the yelps of "amnesty" coming from a seemingly frightened Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the tiny fig leaf provided by Rep. Bob Goodlatte's (R-Va.) seven bills he's been talking about for a year and the shameful action to deport all Dreamers through the recently unanimous vote of the House Republican caucus's fantasy bill, the Enforce Act.

1. They'd have to have been together in order to break up

and most Hispanos lost interest in the GOP a long time ago over its lumping all Hispanics in with Mexicans here illegally, among other things.

That party is getting so tone deaf they'll be pissing off old white guys with a little money saved up next.

2. Not just this time either

but over the decades - over and over again.
While simultaneously expecting loyalty, money and votes--Pretty sick thinking if you ask me.

3. If you're not STRAIGHT, WEALTHY, WHITE, CONSERVATIVE, & MALE, then the GOP hates you.

5. Please, please, please put a Latino or a Latino on the Dem ticket in 2016.

The election will be sealed if we do that. It will not matter who the other candidate is. Trust me. Won't matter whether the Latino/a is president or VP. The Dems need to start vetting candidates now.

6. Adios.
