What is a Government-hating -- and people-hating -- unpopular Political Party ever to do?

“The GOP knows that the future of their party relies on Latinos,” Freeman said. “They’re intimidated and know that they can’t win the Latino vote without supporting immigration reform.”

Let’s first look at the Tea Party’s stance on immigration independent of the impact on the Republican Party.

Because: the Party of Hate will have no purpose -- without someone to hate. Duh.
