  It will be interesting to see how this plays out with the Palin-esque identity politics. For instance, are all these minorities “real Americans” who wear Carhartt jackets and hunt?
  Which one of the Hispanic Republicans will go on Bill O’Reily and ask him about his comment that the higher birth rate for Hispanics is a “problem”?

  I live in the 47th Congressional District, in fact. It used to be represented by “B1″ Bob Dornan, an arch-conservative Republican; it is now represented by Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat. This change coincided with the rapid influx of Hispanic and Vietnamese immigrants in the 80’s and 90’s.

  This district is exactly the sort of community that the Tea Party protesters and Palin supporters grumble about- the signs are not in English, you feel like a minority when you walk through the park, day laborers congregate on every corner, soccer has replaced baseball, and there are more Buddhist Temples being built than Christian churches.
  Yet as I have pointed out on other threads, the people are very much what we celebrate in conservatism- hard working, honest, self-reliant, devout and family-oriented.

  There is a very ugly anti-immigrant and anti-minority mood among the Right nowadays- the Vietnamese store owners may be fervent capitalists- but they also understand very well what it means when angry townhallers scream about “losing their country”. The Hispanic day laborers may be hard working family men who attend Mass every week, but they know very well who is behind the ICE raids that make life hellish for them.

  The Right is at a crossroads, torn between rising demographics on one hand, and the traditional base on the other.

  Esther Velazquez: This Hispanic Republican woman could make history in New Jersey by becoming the first Latino to win a council seat in the Borough of Hightstown

  Seriously … the “Borough of Hightstown”?

  Granted, that may mean more voters than the town of Wasilla … but still. That’s digging pretty damn deep…

  Article: Mexican flags at immigrant rallies cause flap
  Article from:Chicago Sun-Times Article date:April 6, 2006 Author:Yvonne Wingett and Daniel Gonzalez Copyright

  PHOENIX, Ariz. — Paul Cattelino thinks of himself as a liberal. He votes independent, supports gay marriage and is anti-war.

  His great-grandparents immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1917, and he has always empathized with Mexican immigrants. Then, last week on TV, the Phoenix retail manager watched in amazement the images of people at huge pro-immigrant rallies in Phoenix and across the country waving the Mexican flag.

  If the marchers’ goal was allowing illegal immigrants to become Americans, why wave Mexican flags? Cattelino wondered.

  “Call it racism, call it whatever you want, but the fact is that the waving of Mexico’s flag showed the rest of us, even this die- hard …

  I love Sasha Gong! She is a courageous, intelligent woman. I would love for her to have a future in the party.

• 8 balconesfault // Oct 3, 2009 at 5:53 pm

  It’s a good list … and good to see. Although I really think that the value of any such list is heavily diluted when you start to add “Mecklenburg County sheriff race” in there next to people running for the US Senate or Gubernatorial races.

  I’d actually organize the list a little by type of race (and I don’t mean the ethnic type).

  Unfortunately, the problem with a forum like this is that as much as you’re trying to create a positive story … there are those commentors who only see everything in terms of culture wars, and who will try their hardest to make this a discussion about conflict in ways that are going to turn off many minorities who might be drawn to the article via an outside link. It’s kind of the problem that Bush had in trying to outreach to Middle Eastern moderates at the same time half his party was shrieking about Islamofascism.

• 9 balconesfault // Oct 3, 2009 at 6:04 pm

  Texas and Michael Williams will be an interesting test. He’ll be in a tough primary fight with two darlings of the social conservatives … fellow Railroad Comissioner Elizabeth Ames Jones and State Legislator Florence Shapiro.

• 10 EscapeVelocity // Oct 3, 2009 at 6:19 pm

  I have no problem with people waving Mexican flags. Those people love their country or homeland. It just shows you where their loyalties lay.

  The birthright citizenship should be removed from the Constitution and a sizable Guest Worker program instituted. Furthermore Mexico should be pressured to ease up on their immigration and property ownership laws (this wont hurt Mexico or Mexican Nationals..it will boost their economy and business activity).

• 11 EscapeVelocity // Oct 3, 2009 at 6:20 pm

  I remember that race for Dornans old seat. Mexican illegals were encouraged to vote. Voter ID laws continue to be opposed by certain Parties of the Leftwing variety.

  Other minority GOP candidates include African-American “Corey Poitier ” who is seeking a U.S. Congressional seat for Florida’s District 17.

  There is also Teresa Hernandez is running for the vacated seat of former Rep. Hilda Solis in California. She’s a small business owner, a passionate community leader, and believes in common sense solutions to America’s problems!

• 14 balconesfault // Oct 3, 2009 at 6:50 pm

  Mexican illegals were encouraged to vote.

  Cough cough. Bullcrap.

  Go read David Iglesias’ new book … according to him, out of hundreds of thousands of voter fraud investigations by the DOJ during the Bush years (it was quite the priority) there were 14 where DOJ officials actually concluded there was enough evidence to prosecute.

  Those illegals must be incredibly savvy. Not to mention the ACORNistas who were stupid enough to let themselves be taped condoning illegal activity (that they reported to police afterwards) … but smart enough to fool the entire Bush justice department.

• 15 Reason60 // Oct 3, 2009 at 8:03 pm

  When Loretta Sanchez won Dornan’s seat, I didn’t get the chance to inspect the papers of each and every voter, so I really can’t say definitively whether they were all illegal.
  What I CAN say with absolute clarity, is that this afternoon as I drove around doing some errands, is that about 50% of the small businesses are owned by Vietnamese; that about a third of the population is Hispanic.
  Escapevelocity appears to share Dornan’s view of things, this dark malevalent pessimism about the loyalties and impact of the immigrants. They know it, and voted for Sanchez, a Democrat.

  The Vietnamese found a ready home in the GOP, due to their hatred of the Communists from where they escaped; but since the fall of the Cold War, that memory is fading, and the appeal of the GOP is as well.
  What the younger Vietnamese now see are Tea Party protestors grumbling about non-English speaking foreigners, loudly complaining about “anti-white” this and “anti-Christian” that. Unless the GOP can stand up and embrace wholeheartedly the diverse immigrants that make up this district, they will lose even the one ethnic group they can claim.

  I read somewhere that there are two kinds of religions, ones that seek converts, and the ones that cast out heretics. Today the GOP is burning heretics by the score while the Dems are proselytizing.

• 16 balconesfault // Oct 3, 2009 at 8:16 pm

  Today the GOP is burning heretics by the score while the Dems are proselytizing.

  Goes in line with what Tannehaus has been saying – Democrats adopted language of the Republicans and made it easy for moderate conservatives to cross over and support specific Democratic candidates. Republicans completely attack any Democratic Party language … and thus build a barrier to any moderate liberals supporting Republican candidates.

  Of course this is nonsense, however the Leftwing media and the the Left in general like to play upon minority fears and promise them special favors, rights, previleges, and preferences over the Evil White European Christian Patriarchy.

  Its there stick. Divisive racial and ethnic politics. Trying to keep illegals from voting as an attack on Hispanic Americans.

  Escape is 100% right that leftist Democrats continue to oppose voter I.D. laws and always act like any common sense law in this area is a return to 1964 Selma, Alabama.

  How can anyone be against making sure the vote is legal unless they are hoping to steal elections?

  I’ll say one thing – the KKK wouldn’t decertify the local chapter where the members came from, would they?

  And let us know when Garofalo is invited to be the keynote speaker at a major Democratic party event. Sure – there are lots of people with silly, lightweight opinions on the left as well as on the right. They generally get cited a lot more by people like you than by anyone else on the left.

  Robert Enriquez from Illinois donates and supports Democrats.

  From the Illinois State Board of Elections:
  Enriquez, Robert and Dania

  Individual Contribution to Democrat Friends of Linda Chapa LaVia

  It gets better:
  Enriquez is a Rod Blagojevich – appointee, but I guess Enriquez doesn’t care as long as he receives his $40,000 pay check for seating in that board.

  Is it your contention, that minorities are so wrapped up in their own racist, sexist, identity bigotry, that they would only vote for someone that looks like them?

  Is that what you are on about and promoting here?

• 26 hhr // Oct 3, 2009 at 11:36 pm

  You mean kinda like folks who vote for people who only share there religous views? The kind who wont vote for a Mormon or a Jew? Mention of these candidates is not pandering or asking one race to support them because they share the same skin tone. We need to show the nation that our Party has many new upcoming faces. They are white, black, asian but what we must be is responsible for taking action to grow our Party in communities where we are currently under-represented. It is a valid and necessary business module for reaching our overall goals of winning elections and being politically relevant.

• 27 EscapeVelocity // Oct 4, 2009 at 12:52 am

  If you want to grow the party, you need to promote the ideas of the Party.

  A good way to do that is via the school system….which is infested with Leftwingers and Leftwing dogma. That is where the battle should be. Not trivial skin color and other inane identity markers. Playing that level of politics is what the Left does. Its vile and disgusting.

  Its ideas that matter. That is where the battle is.

  OK, what ARE the “ideas” of the Party as regards new immigrants?

  Leave out the ILLEGAL immigrants for a moment. Let’s talk about LEGAL immigrants:

  Do we say to the LEGAL Hispanic immigrants: “Welcome! Let us show you our platform for economic opportunity!”

  Or do we say to the LEGAL Hispanic immigrants: “You worry us, because if you continue to grow in numbers, you’ll be able to outvote the white folks in many districts.”

  Because frankly, on conservative blogs, I hear the latter more than I hear the former.

  Escapevelocity – working round the clock to make sure Frum’s New Majority doesn’t expand the tent!

  While “escapevelocity” is rather extreme,

  failure to alleviate the VALID concerns of Americans about immigrants is what doomed Bush’s immigration bill. The bill would have passed if there weren’t so many senators from states being flooded with illegal aliens.

  During the furious congressional date over that bill, Rasmussen did some interesting polling. He found that Americans would support giving illegal aliens who were already here a path to citizenship–but only AFTER America’s borders were maximally secured so that the flood of new illegal immigrants would end. Without border security first, Americans said no dice to immigration reform.

  This was not what Bush and Ted Kennedy originally had in mind. What they wanted was to make some weak symbolic moves on border security, but in general continue to allow a flood of illegal aliens to come across the border, giving them guest worker privileges and a path to citizenship, both for humanitarian reasons and to keep agribusiness and the hotel industry happy.

  Obama is likely to demand an immigration bill that is far more liberal even than the Bush bill that failed.

  Immigration will not go away as a hot button issue until the American government becomes serious on border security. And that won’t happen until the American government becomes serious on stopping the hiring of illegal aliens.

  The dirty little secret of the American economy is that prices are kept low by illegal aliens. Everything from the price of produce at the supermarket to the price of a hotel room would soar if those industries had to hire American workers and pay at least the minimum wage with accompanying fringe benefits like vacations and such.

  If Obama wants “change,” let’s see him tell the American people the truth for a “change”: You want to stop illegal aliens, then be prepared to pay for it.

• 30 EscapeVelocity // Oct 4, 2009 at 10:59 am

  Ill get to the ideas of the party soon (they arent difficult to ascertain).

  But I wanted to say, that if you play identity politics for the same groups as the Left does, then youve already conceded the Leftist zeitgeist, youve adopted it. Appealing to people on identity marker grounds. Assuming that people with different identity markers are not equally served by universal values and issues.

  As we’ve seen here earlier someone promoting school choice as an African American issue. Its not an African American issue, its all races, creeds, religion and sex issue…more correctly stated its a children and parent issue.

  Breaking up people into identity politics groups and promising them special laws, priveleges, government subsidies, payouts, rights, preferences……will eventually lead to dissaster, and the ugliest of violent murderous conflicts.

• 31 EscapeVelocity // Oct 4, 2009 at 11:05 am

  While I agree with most of what youve written in post 29, sinz.

  First of all, Americans will be put back to work by cracking heads with regards to illegal immigrant employment…and wages will rise.

  But when done right, Mexican national labor in a guest worker program and tough border security and immigration and employment law enforcemnt will raise prices somewhat, however the flip side is that Americans will be employed and off the government dole, furthermore, American local, state, and federal government resources will be less burdened, the net effect is nil.

• 32 EscapeVelocity // Oct 4, 2009 at 11:08 am

  Furhtermore remittances make up a huge chunk of the Mexican economy, that can be leveraged into “nudging” the Mexican government to ease its immigration and property ownership laws with respect to Gringos, for a sizable Guest worker program that will keep the dollars flowing.

  The problem sinz is that we have millions and millions of illegal aliens (mostly from Mexico). This problem needs to be addressed. Until it is a lot of imprecise language and hostile feelings are going to be stirred up in both directions.

  The Left loves this situation, as they get to play their favorite game of calling whitey a bigoted hatefilled racist, while championing the oppressed brown folk. This is the modern formulation of the Left, the Third and Second world as Proletariat. Racist class warfare.

  We could easily and rationally deal with the problem if not for the Left muckracking, fearmongering, hatemongering, etc. But we dont have that luxury. It would be nice if we did, but we dont. It would have been nice if we got to fight the Cold War without the treasonous Western Left as well. But alas…

  There is a difference between being on the ballot and actually being a contender. While I’m no expert on some of these races, I’d like to see what the favorabilities on these candidates are–and–whether or not they’re county party/state/national supported candidates. They could be rogue primary candidates who have no support whatsoever.

  But when I hear some of your fellow social conservatives saying things like:

  “If we allow too many Hispanics to come here and have children here, eventually they’ll be able to outvote the white folks”

  then I submit to you that THEY are the ones playing identity politics. THEY are the ones assuming that the interests of Hispanics will always be inimical to those of Caucasians. And that therefore the number of Hispanics in America must be kept limited.

• 39 balconesfault // Oct 4, 2009 at 7:44 pm

  Oneon1isto – I was wondering the same thing.

  Those of us from different places could help. For example, as I noted, Michael Williams is a serious contender in Texas, with some heavy hitters behind him, but he’s going to run straight into the social conservative buzzsaw that currently runs the RP here (the Texas RP platform declares the US a “Christian Nation”). On the other hand, Marcus Dilworth has as much chance of getting the Republican nomination as I do.

• 40 aDude // Oct 4, 2009 at 8:07 pm

  The loyalties of immigrants. Kinda reminds me of Executive Order 9066. Not our finest hour.

  It still amazes me how clear it is that groups like Vietnamese and Hispanics could become a vital part of the base for the Republican Party, but so many Republicans would prefer a pure Anglo-Saxon Protestant America instead. So instead of welcoming hard working groups who are living the dream of free enterprise every day, we immediately assume that they are disloyal, illegal, trying to unite California with Mexico, or some such silliness. We have been welcoming immigrants (well, with varying degrees of welcome) for a couple of centuries now, resulting in the growing strength of this country while so many others have gone into serious decline.

  This list gives me hope that there are those in the party who see a brighter future than the WASP huggers.

  So we have the Left promoting Indentity Politics, and very successfully. Gaining votes for their efforts to split people into groups and inflame resentment of other groups to keep them voting. Followed up by special rights and preferences and privileges and payouts.

  The natural reaction to this is that eventually, certain groups precluded by PC from participating and who are therefore the losers in this game, because they arent even let onto the field and any greivance aired about this situation is derided as hatefilled racist blah blah blah.

  Well the end result is that they will organize into Identity Political groups, and the end result isnt going to be enjoyable for the coalition that the Left has formed. But its the Left that is driving this situation….they are responsible for the creation of this divisive identity political atmosphere and climate.

  Of course they will keep blaming the same peoples and groups they always blame and villify. If we could just kill the Jews and Whitey, then we could live in a Socialist paradise of radical egalitarianism, multicultural diversity celebration.

  Other amendment to the (IRCA) law can be added, but the majority of public opinion demands no path to citizenship or BLANKET AMNESTY. Leave America and apply for an immigration entry visa like honest potential immigrants have for years? If you live in America previously without THE PEOPLES PERMISSION, you will be subject to fines, but not necessarily exempt from an entrance visa. Criminal aliens and anarchists obviously must remain–persona none gratis. A points system must be enacted similar to countries in Europe and even Australia. Points are observed for special highly skilled individuals, specialty engineers, scientists and computer specialists and other equally outstanding credentialed labor that has no equal in our nation.

  The deterrent for smuggling yourself and family members into a sovereign country, with no longer is a civil offense. Every business within the jurisdiction of these United States and its territories and islands will be instructed to install E-Verify permanently. A mandatory directive will include criminal penalties for not operating the E-Verification application in all employment. No working person shall be exempt including those who have been on payroll for twenty years or more. New immigrants cannot access any welfare or government subsidies, unless under emergency status. A new stage 2 E-Verify modified to check the persons right to health care, drivers licenses, car insurance, real estate including home purchase. E-Verify could also be adapted to vet a persons voting status in coming elections to halt violations of the law. Within the local Social Security administration those who have remained in limbo, can be verified for any number of irregularities.

  In time as E-Verify and its innovations are upgraded, with biometric and photo recognition improvements, the system will certainly pay for itself. Chances are in the coming months rogue politicians whose immigration grading can be viewed on NUMBERSUSA, will try to weaken or drop E-Verify for the favors they owe the US Chamber of Commerce and the nausating special interest groups? Just as they are accomplishing breaking down 287 G, police immigration questioning. ICE raids and other enforcement tools. As I have said before this is all about ECONOMICS. ITS about deteriorating infrastructure, its about the Census bureau stating that in the year 2050, the nation’s population is projected to increase by nearly 130 million people — the equivalent of adding another four states the size of California. Understand about this physical nightmare at CAPSWEB. In conclusion, there is much more information about the corruption in our political parties; not just immigration at the JUDICIAL WATCH site.

  A mandated law must be authored that renegade businesses who employ illegal entrants, must be held accountable for the huge bills that hospitals and taxpayers get stuck with?

  PAY ATTENTION to the fact that the present Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently endorsing San Francisco’s–Sanctuary City–Liberal/Socialist Mayor Gavin Newsom for the new Governor of the State. This would be an absolute atrocity to the legal communities, when Newsom allowed ID for illegal aliens and refused to put young illegal immigrant gang members in the hands of ICE? Indirectly the sanctuary policy that was indifferent to Federal law, was an accessory in the June 22 slaying’s of Anthony Bologna and his sons Michael and Matthew. There is already a mayor in Los Angeles who supports the illegal immigrant invasion, so you definitely don’t want Gavin Newsom giving bogus identification or welcoming millions more illegal families to extract subsidies from the already cash-strapped Californians.

  Its likely there is going to be a nasty battle ahead over comprehensive immigration reform? My thought is that instead of starting from scratch, like the open border insane society is demanding we should fabricate amendments into the 1986 Simpson Mazzoli bill. First and foremost the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), was full of loopholes. Its main content was to legalize guest workers, whose labor was mostly spent in agriculture. The problem that once legalized, they vanished from the fields and orchards, taking jobs on Main Street, stealing jobs from Americans. The numbers of illegal aliens escalated, because the perforated borders and limited border patrol agents led to floods of more foreign nationals skirting our national border.

  Farmers, agriculturists and businesses had to seek more workers once again, so the borders remained intentionally open thanks to Democrats and Republicans. So instead of the estimated 3.5 newcomers the actual figure was more like 5 million, with more crossing the inept border incessantly. Most of the new entrants lied about their period of residency and produced utility bills and other bogus documentation, including fraudulent affidavits. So the prior (INS) Immigration & Naturalization Service couldn’t attempt to handle the overwhelming influx of illegal immigrants applying? Now President Osama and his Democratic happy faces want to swamp us yet again, with an estimated 20 plus illegal immigrants already squatting here? Even today the doors remain wide open, because the political parties under funded the real border fence, originally drafted by Rep. Duncan Hunter of California. His short 50 mile fence in San Diego, California is double tiered, with a no-mans-land between for border patrol vehicles to make their inspection tours.

  The fence that crosses America is–ONE STRAND BARRIER–and in many places doesn’t exist at all, except for ailing cameras, sensors and other vehicle barriers? Now if the powers in Washington had any brains, they could amend the (IRCA) law? First is agriculture that wants Guest Workers to pick fruit and vegetables, they must be issued a special visa limited to a specific time. They cannot work outside that boundary and must return to their country of residence after the document expires. If they want at some point in time to qualify for permanent legal status, they must apply like all new immigrants through their embassy. There fingerprints and other data should be recorded just in case they disappear from the workplace and placed on an arrest list by ICE.

  How about employer penalties. Do away with all the criminal proceedings, except for evasion. Instead, create a program where employers must pay into a general fund for the state for each undocumented worker they employ, in order to offset costs to the state services from undocumented immigrants. And make harsh penalties for failure to pay into the fund.

  Mesh that in with your Guest Workers program. And deny instant citizenship to children of undocumented aliens born in the US – require a notation on the birth certificate of the residency/citizenship status of both parents.

  And deny instant citizenship to children of undocumented aliens born in the US

  Absolutely unconstitutional.

  The Fourteenth Amendment states:
  “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside”

  To deny birthright citizenship would require a Constitutional Amendment.

  Yep. you’re right. Should always check the big doc before suggesting legislation.

  Constitutional Amendment indeed.

  However Leftwingers are used to bypassing the Constitution through “reinterpretation.”

  That doesnt mean we couldnt remove the clause that is being abused in order to take advantage of Americans….the correct way, through the Amendment Process. However its always an option, thanks to the Left for creating the environment.

  Personally, I thought that Bush should have expanded the Supreme Court and stacked it with Conservatives ala FDR.
