By being insensitive, particularly to people who were brought here as children and have lived their lives as americans, the GOP has signaled its intolerance for immigrants... at least when they don't have white skin like our canadian friend above. .
That is a false premise and an unsubstantiated accusation.
You have a pointy head.As well you should.
He is a Canuck, after all.
NO, he is an AMERICAN.
However, until the rhetoric gets out of silly season with stupidity like "self-deportation", the GOP is going to have a problem....
You have a pointy head.
the party that can only get small fractions of the votes of people of color doesnt get to define racism.
Your the racists and only fat dumb white men dont understand that
More racism from the democrats.
Why is everything about race to you guys?
Well...thats all they know.
As well you should.
He is a Canuck, after all.
NO, he is an AMERICAN.
I am a Canadian-American..
Because the charge of "racism" is difficult to prove. When they spew calumny on us over little-known false claims, it can take 6 to 8 months to prove them wrong. By that time, the damage is deep, and us waging endless court battles over character assassination doesn't set well with the public.More racism from the democrats.

As long as you're an American I don't care what the other part is.

he means he was born in Canada.
Imagine a congressional district in California, a state where the GOP last week suffered a political bloodbath. Imagine this district voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and has a significant Democratic voter advantage. Imagine, too, that 70% of its residents are Hispanic.
Now imagine that last week, a first-time Republican candidate trounced his Hispanic Democratic opponent, capturing 60% of the vote. Pure fantasy, right?
Pure reality, as it happens. In January, David Valadao will come to Washington to represent California's 21st District, nestled in the San Joaquin Valley. In a state where Republicans suffered at least four incumbent losses on Nov. 6, Mr. Valadao was the party's only offensive victory, flipping a seat that hasn't elected a Republican in 20 years, and doing it with strong support from the district's majority Hispanic voters. ...
His farming background counted big in the 21st District, which is heavily blue-collar, with a huge farming industry and oil-drilling sector. What Hispanic and non-Hispanic residents there share is a growing fury over federal, state and green-group actions that have cut off water for farmers, made life tougher for drillers, driven up prices, and led overall to some of the highest unemployment rates in the country. ...
The Republican kept the focus on those topics by embracing the immigration issue early ona second lesson for the GOP. Mr. Valadao, who likes to note that his own parents are immigrants, made clear his frustrations with a broken immigration system that separates families, keeps people waiting decades for visas, robs employers of workers and leaves nobody happy.
These are the day-to-day concerns of many Hispanics and of many employers in the 21st Districtnot to mention the roots of the broader illegal-immigration issueand Mr. Valadao's promise to push for a total overhaul moved the debate beyond flash-point terms like "amnesty" or "border security."
The Republican credits his success in talking about immigration to his "common-sense approach," though colleagues note that a big part of it was simply his tone. His willingness to tackle immigration reassured Hispanic voters, freeing them to concentrate on even more pressing policy concerns.

That is both illogical and ungrammatical.
