that tent s got big holes in it. so we ve got elected officials sitting in there, getting ready to file. i think you ll watch after the filings in march and both parties have. it s a hot issue both ways. it cuts both ways in our party right now. let s get march out of the way. thing speaker boehner is doing a marvelous job. i like him. i like speaker boehner and speaker gingrich. two remarkable speakers. i knew you all wouldn t, but i m okay with that. watch after the march filings. the republicans are not going to lose the house. that s a pipe dream. and that s why talking about trust issues with the president is good politics for our party. if you look at where hispanic voters are concentrated, right, it s most decidedly with texas, not where republicans are facing them. we have a map that gives you the cluster of sort of the hispanic congregation.
so to kayton dawson s point. if you re playing sort of smart primary politics, knowing people can file in march. republicans are doing that. they re doing what s right. they re doing what may be right for them in the upcoming primaries, but that s a very my op oh pick way of looking at things. not just the fact that it s a very contentious issue on the right, but the longer that they wait to do immigration reform, that is longer that the democrats can use this against them with latinos and other american voters and the longer it can cement latino antipathy to the gop. you went through the list of reasons why they said we could not do immigration reform. that was only half the list, joy. remember we couldn t do it because of the crisis in sear yas and because of the sequester, we could not do immigration reform because of the boston bombing and the fact that some of those suspects were immigrants.
