It’s been months in the works, but the last two weeks have seen more or less the entire GOP field go all in to join Donald Trump’s team of anti-immigrant policy extremists. Even Jeb Bush — long, though it appears erroneously, seen as the “reasonable voice” and the “adult in the room” on immigration — couldn’t stay away, refusing to back down from the offensive “anchor baby” rhetoric he used to describe American citizens born in the United States to immigrant parents.

This is a problem for the Kochs, who today and are hosting much of the GOP field at their “Defending the American Dream Summit” — one of the premiere events for GOP candidates to cozy up to Koch network donors.

It’s a problem because it exposes them. And it exposes the LIBRE Initiative, Charles and David’s Latino outreach front group, as the propaganda machine that it is.

It’s impossible for the Kochs to claim that they’re advocating the best interests of the Latino community while they simultaneously host candidates opposed to birthright citizenship and employ policy fellows calling for ending birthright citizenship.

The claim by LIBRE’s Daniel Garza that the group is “vehemently” against ending birthright citizenship, as reported by Politico, needs to be taken not with a mountain of salt. The Kochs, their candidates, and their other front groups, have done nothing to support that.

But all that can change this weekend.

We know the Kochs are worried about Donald Trump — he can’t be bought, so they can’t control him. So, will they use the opportunity to make a power play to end his dominance? Will they decry Trump’s offensive rhetoric — the same rhetoric being parroted by the candidates they’re hosting — and try to get the GOP’s racist, runaway clown car back under control? 

Far more likely: The Kochs will stay silent as Republicans hit the reset button on a decade of — apparently disingenuous — outreach to the Latino community.

Why? Because LIBRE has never been about helping the Hispanic community; it’s about helping the Kochs.
