Sean Hannity Flips On Immigration Reform, Now Supports Pathway To Citizenship
One day after the GOP suffered a crushing presidential defeat that spotlighted the party's unpopularity with Latino voters, Fox News star Sean Hannity announced that his position on undocumented immigrants had "evolved" and that he now supports a pathway to citizenship. (Listen above.)
Musing on his radio show about how his party could convince Latinos to switch parties, Hannity proposed a solution:
"We've gotta get rid of the immigration issue altogether. It's simple for me to fix it. I think you control the border first, you create a pathway for those people that are here, you don't say you gotta home. And that is a position that I've evolved on. Because you know what--it just--it's gotta be resolved. The majority of people here--if some people have criminal records you can send' em home--but if people are here, law-abiding, participating, four years, their kids are born here... first secure the border, pathway to citizenship... then it's done. But you can't let the problem continue. It's gotta stop."
Wow.. Talk about "evolving on an issue"...only 48 hours after getting stomped... By 70+% of the Latino population. It appears we've had a "Come-to-Jesus" meeting with the GOTP hierarchy, and the hardly-subtle "We've got to find a way to sucker those Latinos" push is starting already.
No, really... We like Hispanics....No, REALLY!!.....Pay no attention to those guys in the closet.... Why, some of my best friends...........etc., etc. Why, I've even picked up a few words of Spanish... rofllol
Charles Krauthammer is also pushing for it. Interesting. Polls say immigration is actually way down on the list for Hispanic voters, fourth or fifth place. Much more important issues for them since most Hispanics in America are either legal or covered by the Dream Act.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
