Conservative pundit Ann Coulter continued to tell Republicans to stop sucking up to Hispanics and other voters when it comes to immigration reform during an interview Saturday on the Fox News Channel show Huckabee.

As usual when Coulter speaks about the Latino vote, she based many of her assertions on faulty premises.

Dont suck up on things like amnesty, Coulter said, later continuing, This idea that recent Hispanic immigrants want a huge wave of illegal immigrants to compete with them for the same jobs and drive their wages down, is silly. The Democrats are trying to persuade Republicans to fall for this so that the Democrats get more voters.

In fact, polling data shows that immigrants from Latin America tend to support immigration reform in greater numbers than U.S.-born Latinos.

Instead of supporting immigration reform, she urged Republicans to follow the partys 2012 presidential candidates example.

As Romney said, we will appeal to Hispanics the way we appeal to everyone -- by saying were the party that offers opportunity and freedom from regulation and we wont pass stupid bills like Obamacare that pay for abortions, Coulter said, paraphrasing comments from U.S. Senator-elect Cory Gardner (R-Co).

Romney, who pushed the policy of self-deportation and pledged to strip deportation relief from those brought here illegally as children, won only 27 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012. It was the worst performance among Latino voters in a presidential election since Bob Doles failed attempt in 1996.

Coulter raged against Latinos after they rejected Romney, implying in a column that those who backed Obama, particularly nonwhites, are nitwits who deserve lives of misery and joblessness. She singled out Latin American immigrants in particular, portraying Latinos as a lazy underclass looking for a handout, despite the fact that immigrants use less government benefits than they are entitled to, according to a study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Coulter said the new Republican-controlled Congress should pass bills popular among conservatives that Obama would be likely to veto, in order to showcase the divergence between him and the GOP.

The newspapers are going to have to report what Obama just vetoed and people are going to have to say, Wait a minute, illegal aliens are getting earned income tax benefits? Coulter said. Most people would be shocked to know thats happening now. Send that one up.
