But for the far right, immigration orthodoxy now seems to apply not just to candidates but to staffers as well. And when conservative pundits ignore just how much powerful anti-immigration sentiment is in the GOP base, they only delay the shift on immigration the party so desperately needs. In 2012, being even slightly pro-immigration was enough to sink Rick Perry, and in an impossible-not-to-be-related development, Mitt Romney won only 27 percent of the Hispanic vote. The longer the GOP puts off a change on the issue, the longer it will limit its chances to capture the White House.
