Republicans in a changing demographic situation to win the presidential election (which they have lost recently) need to expand their electoral “base” among ethnic minorities. In this sense, the Republicans have a lot of hopes on one of the rising stars of the party Marco Rubio.
Some Republicans sees a way out in the softening of rhetoric on the problem of illegal immigrants. This is one of the reasons why President Obama counts on the success of immigration reform. In an interview with the leadership of the newspaper Des Moines Register Last year, Obama said: “If I win, it is largely due to the fact that the republican candidate and party pushed off the most rapidly growing demographic group of the country, the Spanish-speaking community. George Bush and Karl Rova (a prominent republican strategist) are smart enough to understand the changing nature of America. So so. I am sure that they will be deeply interested in this. ”
