The Koch brothers have succeeded in taking over the Republican Party, but they’ve found a gaping hole in their plan to take over the country: Republicans’ across-the-board lack of credibility with Hispanic voters. The Kochs know that if they don’t do something, the hundreds of millions of dollars they’ve invested in their candidates could be wasted.

So, as the AP recently reported, they’ve quietly started investing in grassroots efforts to provide Spanish speakers with English classes, health checkups, and courses to help them earn high school diplomas. They’ve invested millions to create the LIBRE Initiative, a grassroots organization that performs outreach across the southwest in places where “conservative organizations don’t typically go.”

But don’t let their generosity fool you – that money comes with strings attached. Their classes on immigration law have a conservative bent, and the food they hand out in communities across the southwest come with bilingual pamphlets in them espousing conservative ideology and talking points. They’ve essentially created a “shadow GOP” to recruit Hispanic voters to their cause.

Now it’s one thing to “help” people while trying to indoctrinate them; it’s another to be so two-faced that you’re also supporting candidates who are working against these voters’ best interests, but that’s exactly what the Kochs are doing.

Koch-backed Ted Cruz of Texas and his allies have used the border crisis as an excuse to target DREAMers and eliminate all legal protections for children who could be deported.

Koch-backed politicians and their staffs have attacked immigrants through policy changes and by saying some pretty awful things, including comparing them to dogs.

And, according to KPBS San Diego, which covered the Kochs’ most recent exclusive and secretive dark money donor meeting, the Kochs invite people who get a laugh by using racist slurs.

The list goes on and on, but that doesn’t faze the Kochs, who are spending $500 million this election cycle to buy the U.S. Senate so they can finally get the extreme policies they want. All that matters to them is getting their lackeys in office, no matter how many dreams – or DREAMers – they crush in the process.
