According to Census numbers, Hispanics and Latino Americans are expected to become the majority in the U.S. within the next 30 years or so and in 6-8 years Hispanic and Latino American school age children will surpass white children in numbers. Within the next 15-20 years they'll be roughly equal in numbers to whites.

Unless the GOP figures out how to address the immigration issue (that is appease both immigrants -documented or undocumented- and the party faithful) they're done. I see no reason to expect they will do so. Of all the issues that could (and to some maybe should) lead to the party's demise, immigration may very well top the list.
