In an interview with Yahoo, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales says members of the GOP have offered rhetoric that is “anti-Hispanic.” He also called for a reassessment of the border debate.
I think that members of our party have spoken about this in a way that’s not only anti-immigration but anti-Hispanic, and I think that’s harmful to the long term future of the party. That’s been disappointing.
I believe in a secure border, I’m a law-and-order kind of guy, but it seems to me we can talk about achieving a secure border in a way that reflects the reality of why people come here and has a more compassionate tone.
