A new MSNBC/Telemundo/ Marist poll released today shows that 78 percent of Latinos approve of President Obama’s recent immigration moves.

It’s no surprise, then, that the Koch brothers would take the opposite position and fight the president’s executive order. The Koch-backed LIBRE Initiative — which purports to empower Latinos — has a long history of spurning Latinos with their backwards policies. In fact, earlier this month LIBRE Initiative President, Daniel Garza, testified that the group opposed the administration’s newly established policy. The LIBRE Initiative claims to support comprehensive immigration reform, but they have poured a large chunk of their war chest into campaigning against the very candidates who truly support comprehensive reform. The sad irony of the Koch Brothers’ efforts to mobilize Latino grassroots supporters for the GOP is that if the president’s executive actions are undone, it will result in millions facing deportation and a smaller voting pool.

In another twist, LIBRE spent $1.4 million this past election cycle taking on Democratic candidates Pete Gallego in Texas and Joe Garcia in Florida. LIBRE protested their support of the Affordable Care Act, despite the fact that 2.6 million Latinos ages 18-64 gained health insurance under the law. Once again, LIBRE is caught opposing policies that benefit Latinos.

LIBRE and the Koch brothers aren’t totally clueless. Daniel Garza said if the GOP continues to block immigration reform, it will be that much harder to convince Hispanic voters to vote Republican.

Free advice: the best approach is to stop taking positions that four of five Latinos oppose.
