For both Hispanics and Asians, the GOP must appear less hostile towards immigration.

Particularly for Hispanics, the GOP cannot appear completely against the safety net for the poor.  Some may feel that socially conservative positions can win over Hispanics for Republicans, but that's not the case.  Not only do Hispanics vote primarily on economic issues, they aren't as SoCon as the stereotype.  Hispanic Catholics are actually less anti-gay than the general US public.

As for Asians, while they may have some culturally conservative values too, the younger generation is very socially liberal.  Also, Republicans will not win them over by hostility towards education or science.  In addition, while some Asians are Christian, some are not, the GOP should clarify that's it's not only the white Christian party.

There is one issue where Republicans could have a strong argument with Asian voters:  Affirmative action, which Asians do no benefit from.  Still, it probably won't help, since that could upset other minorities, and Asians won't vote on that alone.

To sum it up, Republicans need to be much more moderate on certain issues if it wants to win diverse groups.
