The
call for Republicans to discard their opposition to immigration amnesty will
grow deafening in the wake of President Obama’s victory. Hispanics supported
Obama by a margin of nearly 75 percent to 25 percent, and may have provided
important margins in some swing states. If only Republicans relented on their
Neanderthal views regarding the immigration rule of law, the message will run,
they would release the inner Republican waiting to emerge in the Hispanic
population.
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.
