Jason, I would start with people who were brought to the US as small children and who are now teenagers or young adults. I don’t have especially firm opinions past that. Taking the cases where there is public consensus off the table is good policy and (I think) good politics. But I only think it is good policy if it is combined with an attractive economic agenda. Otherwise you just get an endless immigration debate with one side constantly escalating their demands. We are for a limited amnesty and also for policies that will increase your take home pay and make it easier to raise your children. Let the other side obsess with maximalist amnsety demands.

Republicans need to work hard on not being perceived as the party of white males. The MSM creates this vision, but regrettably the GOP does little to combat it. It’s likely that Latinos and Asian-Americans feel like the Democratic party is more welcoming of them and growing only more so.
