The Republican National Committee is set to host a historic series of discussions and debates in early January that will likely affect not just the future platform of the party, but the makeup and racial dynamics of its members.
The forums come at a time when the GOP is undergoing an intense bout of political soul-searching, made even more urgent by revelations that a leading RNC chair candidate distributed a racially insensitive CD as a Holiday gift.
Well aware that the party must expand and diversify, Republican officials are scheduled to use the upcoming events to discuss race and the inclusiveness of the GOP.
"[Race] is going to be a large piece of it," said Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform and a moderator of one of the debates. "There will be the immigration and Hispanic issues. There will be the immigration issue with respect to Asians and Pakistanis and Muslims. There will even be [discussion of] Mormon issues. All of those things will be very important."

I really doubt that GOP as a whole is going to change it's stance on immigration. They are too stubborn and will keep playing the no amnesty card till they slip into irrelevancy.
