'No mas,' No more "George Bush's political strategists have long promoted amnesty for illegal aliens as a device for increasing the Republican vote among Hispanics. They also warn that denying rights to illegal aliens will hurt the GOP. ... "The 1986 amnesty signed by President Reagan did not trigger a Latino surge into the Republican Party. ... "'But Hispanics are Republicans waiting to emerge,' counter the Bush strategists. Socially conservative on homosexuality and abortion, Hispanics just need to be invited into the party by an amnesty and not scared off by immigration enforcement. This 'social values' argument has been around since the early 1980s, and it's still awaiting confirmation. The majority of Hispanics vote their perceived economic interests, rather than their social values. ... Blacks are equally conservative on gay rights and other favorite liberal crusades, and that doesn't affect their allegiance to the Democratic Party. ... "Republicans should craft their immigration policy based on principle, not on politics. But if they insist on deciding the future direction of American sovereignty based on political expediency, they should at least get their politics right." -- Heather MacDonald, writing on "The Republicans' Hispanic Delusion," Wednesday at www.City-Journal.org
