The rapid rise of Florida Senator Marco Rubio makes one thing clear about the Republican Party: They've convinced themselves that outreach (or the lack thereof) is their issue with Latinos. Solve the communications problem"?with gentler language and high-status Hispanic politicians"?and you'll solve the electoral problem. It's why Fox News CEO Roger Ailes has committed himself to making the network more friendly to Latino voters"?an abrupt shift for a place that refers to immigrants as "illegal aliens" -- and why Rubio will give his State of the Union response in English and Spanish.
None of this is bad. The GOP's new push to win Latino voters includes growing support for comprehensive immigration reform, which will be a huge humanitarian boon to millions of undocumented immigrants if it's passed. But Republicans are fooling themselves if they think this will fix their problem with Latino voters or if they think immigration is the beginning and end of the issue.?
