WaPo: The GOP is no party for blacks, Latinos, and gays

[Sopranos Republican]

I think it's stupid to say that either party, as a whole, is racist today. The biggest reason republicans get blown out in the minority vote isn't because their racist, like has been said, it's because of their strict immigration policies with Hispanics and strict welfare policies with black people. Honestly I think the GOP could do much better with both groups, I'm for some welfare programs as long as they make sense. Seriously just as long as welfare payments only go to people who really need them and are working/trying to find work. I think some conservatives are against ANY welfare and that is really hurting their case. In regards to immigration I think some republicans could a little more understanding, just because there are some violent criminals who come across the border doesn't mean that most of them aren't good people who just want a better life. Now don't get me wrong, I believe our borders still need to be secure, but I believe it should be easier for non-violent people who just want to work and raise their family in America. My main point is that the GOP could do better with both groups without becoming just like the democrats.
