Immigration Losers is Richard Nadler's reflections on the findings and lessons derived from Border Wars: The Impact of Immigration on the Latino Vote.The main lesson for the GOP:
To retain their Hispanic gains, Republicans need to repudiate only the immoral, uneconomical goal of mass deportation.
Good luck!
As I've said before, it's too late--at least for 2008. A rhetorical or minor policy shift on the part of the GOP will not do.
As long as the GOP and its presidential candidates continue bowing at the alter of Nativism, an anti-Latino bigotry propping up the likes of Dobbs, O'Reilly, Savage, Coulter, Tancredo, Buchanan, et. al., Latinos will rightly keep their distance. It's the honorable thing to do.

Just heard an interesting song about ICE Raids and deportation from the authors of "Elvira's Song". It's on the Elvira's Song website that I found through this blog a few weeks ago: www.myspace.com/elvirassong
