The Koch brothers have bent over backwards to try to convince everyone that they are expanding the Republican tent and appealing to minority voters in the way the party so desperately needs. Everyone accepts that the billionaire brothers’ economic agenda is ultra-conservative. But they’ve managed to persuade some folks that their platform is more inclusive when it comes to social issues, immigration, and beyond, all while funding right-wing organizations that push extreme polices on these fronts.

Look no further than the current immigration debate for proof of their antics. A Koch brothers-funded group called The LIBRE Initiative was founded in 2011 to focus on Hispanic outreach. They are a self-proclaimed “grassroots organization that advances the principles and values of economic freedom to empower the U.S. Hispanic community so it can thrive and contribute to a more prosperous America.”

So what is The LIBRE Initiative doing to help move the immigration debate forward?  They seem to be promoting the strategy of Jeff Sessions, who is so supportive of immigration reform that in 2013, he said that passing the bipartisan Senate immigration bill would constitute a “crushing hammer blow to working Americans that they will not soon forgive.”

Meanwhile, the CATO Institute, which was co-founded by Charles Koch in 1977 and still boasts David Koch as a board member, is filing briefs challenging the legality of actions President Obama has taken in his attempt to shield families from being torn apart.

If President Obama’s executive actions are undone by Congress or the courts it will result in millions of people being subject again to deportation.

For a couple libertarians who are supposedly fighting to expand Republican appeal and empowering the Latino community to prosper, the Koch brothers sure have an interesting strategy…
