HEY, THIS IS GREAT! – AT 11:17 A.M. ET:  Occasionally we get to bring you good news.  This is very good indeed, and it disproves the idea that the "majority minority" country to come will inevitably tilt Democratic.  From Fox:

Conservative-minded Indian-Americans are forming a new Republican group seeking to mobilize their large and powerful community to back GOP candidates in what the founder calls “a very important time in history.”

Shalabh “Shalli” Kumar, a prominent Indian-American businessman, has taken the lead in forming the Republican Hindu Coalition (RHC) in order to promote conservative principles such as free markets and limited government, with a focus on how they relate to Indian Americans. The organization is modeled after groups like the Republican Jewish Coalition, and plans to spend big in next year's elections.

"This is a very important time in history. The country has suffered so much so dramatically in the last eight years, and another four or eight years of the same direction, the U.S. as we know it will come to an end,” Kumar told FoxNews.com.

“We are actually giving away our economic future to China, the world is a lot less secure today than it was seven years ago, and conservatives and Republicans have to win and take the White House. This is the time when Hindu Americas should very actively get involved,” Kumar said.

There are approximately 3.7 million Indian-Americans in the U.S. and about 50 percent of those are Hindu, according to Pew Research data. (Though the group is called the Republican Hindu Coalition, organizers say it's open to all faiths.) Kumar said that while many Hindus are ideologically conservative-leaning, they have not yet mobilized to vote for Republicans.

COMMENT:  Look for other groups like this.  The Dems assume that Hispanic-Americans are in their pocket, but the Hispanic community is diverse.  Second-generation Hispanics perform like other second-generation immigrant groups.  They don't want handouts.  They seek opportunities.

I can still recall that Catholics were considered "safe" Democrats.  That was before Reagan.  The Democratic Party began to mock Catholic values, especially reverence for life.  Many Catholics in 1980 became Reagan Democrats. 

A vibrant conservative party that takes the time and trouble to reach out to new immigrant groups can be spectacularly successful.  Ignoring immigrant groups will only lead to failure.
