What the Republican party does not appreciate is the fact Hispanics have many problems other than just immigration. Not that immigration is not important, it is vitally important, but the majority of Hispanics fall into the Middle Class and actually Lower Middle Class.

The point is come 2014 and 2016, the GOP is not going to slide by the issues that still beset the Hispanic population in the USA by addressing immigration reform.
As a matter of fact, as the Hispanic population in the USA takes their place among voting citizens they will demand the disparity between the rich and poor in the USA be addressed.
Why won't the citizens, including Hispanics, address topics such as Chained CPI? Are you joking? With loopholes in the income tax structure that chronically reward the wealthy for purchasing personal gratification items rather than investing in the American workforce?
Here again the lower income Americans are asked to sacrifice their consumer price index increases to benefit the wealthy.
The answer is no.
There needs to be income tax reform, too. It has to be meaningful and it has to stop victimizing the poor and lower income citizens in the USA. That is where the majority of Hispanics live. If the Republicans are going to impress these minority Americans, they have to move past immigration reform to making life reasonable for all Americans.
Close the loopholes and take another look at increasing taxes on people earning over a quarter million to a half million a year. The Republicans need to get serious and mean it. Capital Gains needs to be looked at again, too.
