Apparently, Jacob Monty has the grand plan to bring back Latinos to the Republican Party. And they’ll do it by supporting their version of an immigration plan, which probably includes an all new Bracero program.
What Mr. Monty doesn’t seem to understand is that, along with voter suppression, anti-immigrant and anti-Latino rhetoric, and the over 900 hate groups that the GOP has helped develop, Latinos and most people of color aren’t going anywhere.
It’s all about policy. And when rhetoric and hate are the two tools which the Republican Party strives on to build their policy pronouncements, well, not even some wealthy Republatino will be able to change their minds.
Of course, that’s on top of Mr. Monty being known for helping “Liberal, Pro-Amnesty Mes’kins” in their election campaigns.
Cultural conservatism aside, Latinos are fast making political decisions based on who will help people get ahead educationally and economically, and not based on whose rights we violate next.
Kuff gives him his own left cross.
Monty started with a great idea, pressure President Obama on immigration, but it went downhill from there.
I find it hard to take anyone serious who quotes white supremacist data (20 million undocumented workers vs. 12 million used by the WSJ). He makes even harder when he characterizes the Employee Free Choice Act as “outlawing secret ballot union elections.”
Sorry Monty, you would have had me at hello…
