GOP Immigration Reform - Business Insider: "However, even a comprehensive immigration reform package may not solve the GOP's minority problem, says Francis Wilkinson at Bloomberg:
For a little perspective, consider the votes of another minority — Asians. Romney won among all voters making more than $100,000 a year by a margin of 54-44. Asian-Americans happen to be the highest-earning group in the U.S., out-earning whites, and they generally place enormous emphasis on family. A perfect fit for Republicans, no?
No. Asians voted for Obama by 73-26; they were more Democratic than Hispanics.
Of course, Asians may have been just as disgusted as Latinos were by the GOP's immigration rhetoric. "The party's position on immigration is off-putting to many ethnic and racial groups," says Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post, "because it reflects, they believe, a GOP that doesn't want them and doesn't want a diverse society.""
