Thank you for pointing out the real reason for the current immigration surge: that is, that 2016 and 2020 scared the daylights out of the Democrats because the people they thought they had in the bag, started displaying signs of independent cognitive activity and started turning towards the Democrats' opponents. I think the GOP could carve out even more of the "ethnic" vote but the question I have is who is helping GOP organizers better understand and reach out to those groups? As I understand it, the GOP is notoriously lazy and ambivalent about blacks and Hispanics, with the recent Senate election in Georgia a prime example. Who's working to drive the GOP towards making overtures to these voters? I for one would much prefer the type of right wing positions more common in Ibero-America (such as Bolsonaro's aggressiveness towards the LGBT agenda) than the milquetoast crap that passes for conservativism in the US. We're going to need a harder line if we're going to have any kind of future.
