I think the GOP quandry over Latinos is a bird-in-the-hand vs two-in.the-bush thing: can they risk alienating their core constituency over the chance of gaining some Hispanic votes?

And in addition, if they let these people into the party, they might start demanding other changes within the party, which nobody in the party wants.

So the choice is obvious: stick with the tried-and.true, don’t retreat, reload.
