Is the GOP Pushing Minority Voters to the Left?
Shikha Dalmia and Grover Norquist on Republican's Anti-Immigration Stance
HD Download"The reason that Republicans cannot win Latinos - or other minorities for that matter - is because Republicans counter liberal 'Santa' version of big government with what I call the 'Darth-Vader' idea of big government, " says Shikha Dalmia, senior analyst at the Reason Foundation, during FreedomFest 2013 in Las Vegas.
"What Republicans show Latinos and other voters is not the humane and kind version of limited government."
Grover Norquist, founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, joined Dalmia in discussing how the GOP's anti-immigration rhetoric and political position is pushing minority voters to the left.
