House Deportation Vote Unlikely to Hurt GOP This Year

Nate Cohn: “Republican hopes for attracting more Hispanic voters suffered another setback on Friday when the House passed a bill to effectively end President Obama’s program to defer deportations of undocumented children. Yet the vote is unlikely to deal a severe blow to the party’s chances in November’s midterm elections. Hispanic voters may be flexing their growing political muscles in presidential elections, but they have far less sway over the composition of the House or the Senate, particularly in 2014.”
