CPAC 'GOP minority outreach' panel goes as well as you'd expect

[hopper]

It was already mentioned, but it bears repeating:

The GOP doesn't need "outreach" to minorities when the GOP can simply exclude them from participation through gerrymandered districts, voter suppression, and targeted ICE raids.

Obama's DHS is helping the GOP deport illegal immigrants so they won't be able to vote?

Yes, the GOP enforces immigration laws (that their legislators clamor for) selectively.

The GOP business classes have a great desire for Hispanic illegal migration, as long as the immigrants themselves do not become politically active through unionization/collective bargaining efforts, public demonstrations, voter registration drives, and the like.

Union/Collective Bargaining-Hispanics don't really live have big populations in the Rust Belt where the Unions still have an influence. I wouldn't doubt though there aren't some Hispanics who work in Las Vegas at the casino's and they are unionized.

Public Demonstrations-I just don't get what is with the demonstrations for immigration reform. It has no effect on the political process going out there. Just basically doesn't move the needle on the issue.

Voter Drives-Nobody is stopping anybody from having voter drives.

I was about to inject some of my local knowledge on this subject here, but the above sentence didn't really make any sense and I've no idea what you're talking about anyway, so good day.

What I was saying was there are Hispanics  who work at the tables(like blackjack) that are unioized as dealers in casino's in Vegas probably.

Okay. I agree the penalties are excessive, but what is so damned difficult about turning in the forms the day (or even the day after) they were filled out? Indeed, why wouldn't they have been doing that already?

Ummm... had you heard of these registrations being a problem?  No?  They why the need for a bunch of new laws?

Here's what Republicans said when their was actual poison flowing freely through the drinking water of their constituents courtesy of big business...

So one thing has no reported problems and they want to regulate the hell out of it and turn people into felons.  And there is something else that is poisoning people and there is 100% no reason for any new laws.  Make sense to you?

I love this...

So if you do voter registration on a college campus on a Friday night and turn in  the forms first thing Monday morning when the office opens... congratulations you are a felon!  Seems reasonable.

So don't do the drive on Friday. You can't adjust your schedule to show up on another day or do the drive on a different day? There aren't exceptions for people registering to vote on Friday that you can turn the papers in on a Monday?
