we need Hispanics voters

It's not quite that simple. The Republican Party has always been split on the immigration question. You've got the pro-business Chamber of Commerce type Republicans who view immigrants as helpful to the economy (and helpful to employers in particular since immigrants work for low wages). You've got constitutional conservatives who view executive amnesty as an affront to the rule of law. You've got populists who view immigrants as displacing American workers.

My point is it's hard to pin down one Republican view of immigration, and it's not so simple as "we need Hispanics' votes."

Does your erection have the same "direction" as it did before the accident? Is the angle of your erection (relative to your body) the same?

Yes, there is a specific list of disqualifying crimes (such as aggravated felonies), but that list also includes "crimes of moral turpitude." This category is extremely broad. So while some crimes might not be disqualifying, most crimes you'd think of probably are.

Ah yes, I remember that now that you mention it. But I think it's still fair to say that the split you see in the Republican Party predates 2012 (even if 2012 really brought it to the fore), for exactly the reasons I mentioned: business-type Republicans have one view, whereas the more populist or rule of law types have another.

I'm a big sweet-tooth and lover of candy, especially. I recently bought a candy thermometer and started making very basic confections – soft caramel, various fudges, even marshmallows. What are some beginner- or intermediate-level confections that I should try next?
