Someone’s delusional. The GOP is not trying to attract the Latino vote. They’re doing their damnedest to turn the Latino vote into a reliable part of the Democratic base. The Democratic Party has not always been the best friend of black folks, but it has a long record of being the party of immigrants. Immigrant-serving political machines have always been a Democratic phenomenon. Each wave of immigrants has come of age politically through the Democratic Party. Latinos might have been different. Machines are on their way out, and Latinos tend to share some of the culturally conservative values that Republicans espouse. But, then, so do Muslims, and you won’t see too many of them voting Republican any time soon. It’s a funny thing. People don’t vote for political parties than demonize and vilify them.
