Ann Coulter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The GOP (Republican Party) deserves to die if it backs immigration reform, allowing more Latinos to become citizens, right wing pundit Ann Coulter says in a new column, If the GOP is stupid, it deserves to die<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article is the latest in a series since President Barack Obama’s November reelection in which Coulter paints Hispanics as lazy, poor and government-dependent, concluding that they could never vote for conservatives and immigration reform would destroy both the Republican Party and the country as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they\u2019ll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote,\u201d Coulter wrote in the column, published Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Coulter went on to claim that Latinos don\u2019t favor a path to citizenship.<\/p>\n

\u201cHispanic voters are a small portion of the electorate,\u201d the column says. \u201cThey don’t want amnesty, and they’re hopeless Democrats. So Republicans have decided the path to victory is to flood the country with lots more of them!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what Coulter bases this on, as she does not cite a source. A Fox News Latino poll published last year found that 85 percent of Hispanics support offering a path to citizenship<\/a> for the undocumented. A poll released this week by Latino Decisions found that 81 percent of Hispanic voters want Congress to address the pathway to citizenship<\/a> and border security simultaneously, while only 13 percent favor the border security-first approach advocated by conservatives like Coulter.<\/p>\n

Coulter reinforced the views presented in her column during an appearance on Fox News\u2019 \u201cHannity\u201d Wednesday evening that ran under the banner \u201cLegalizing Illegals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill has nothing in terms of enforcement,\u201d Coulter said. \u201cIf you\u2019re serious about enforcement, just say \u2018we\u2019re enforcing E-Verify.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, the comprehensive immigration reform proposal under debate in the Senate pours $6.5 billion into border security and mandates the expansion of E-Verify.<\/p>\n

During a disagreement over whether Coulter was directly responding to a question about the path to citizenship, she and the host called one another \u201cliberal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not answering my question,\u201d Hannity said, as Coulter continued speaking. \u201cYou\u2019re like a liberal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, nothing\u2026 you, you\u2026 on the contrary, you are like a liberal,\u201d Coulter stammered back as Hannity sniggered.<\/p>\n

She said if \u201camnesty\u201d happens, \u201cAmerica is over\u201d and \u201cthe only thing left for people like you and me to do, Sean, is to punish the people who destroyed America.\u201d – Huffington Post<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
