Is GOP sending mixed messages to Hispanics?

Which Republican message will get the attention of Hispanic voters? That's the question some people may soon be asking.

That's because the Republican Party of Texas has just released its first Spanish-language video of this political season in which six Hispanics - including a congressional candidate from San Antonio - explain why they are Republicans.

The video comes three days after the party faithful met in Dallas for the biennial convention where the majority of the more than 8,000 delegates made it clear that they want the state to get tough on illegal imigration. This includes a law like the one Arizona recently passed, which has most Hispanic activists up in arms because they see it as racial profiling.

This kind of tough GOP talk has prompted a good number of lifelong Hispanic Republicans, like public relations guru Lionel Sosa of San Antonio, to warn the party that its anti-illegal immigration rhetoric could hurt its efforts to reach out to Latino voters. Spanish-surnamed Texans now constitute more than a third of the state's population and are expected to be the majority group in three decades or less.

We could soon find out which Republican message Hispanic voters listen to.
