On Friday conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer called for Republicans to tackle the Hispanic demographic issue head on - secure the border and offer full amnesty to undocumented workers in the US.

"The principal reason they [Hispanics] go Democratic is the issue of illegal immigrants. In securing the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney made the strategic error of (unnecessarily) going to the right of Rick Perry. Romney could never successfully tack back. For the party in general, however, the problem is hardly structural. It requires but a single policy change: Border fence plus amnesty. Yes, amnesty. Use the word. Shock and awe — full legal normalization (just short of citizenship) in return for full border enforcement."
