The Republican party will be irrelevant in 25 years if they don't rethink their immigration policies.

Hispanics are the new voting bloc that will determine elections and the Republican party does nothing but alienate them, so to speak. Rick Perry is much closer to getting it right than all the others by a large margin. And he gets slammed for it. Go ahead. Commit political suicide right in front of everyone. The Democrats will sit back and watch and step over you after you have crumpled into a heap of irrelevancy.
