The conventional wisdom in the Republican Party is changing.
Less than two years ago, party leaders solemnly declared after an exhaustive study that the GOP "must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform.'' It was critical for the party's survival, they said, to address an issue that was paramount to the nation's surging Hispanic population. But as President Obama issued a sweeping immigration order last week, some of the Republican Party's most prominent governors, likely presidential candidates among them, described immigration reform as little more than an afterthought.
"This issue is probably not in the top 10 of most voters in America,'' Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is considering a 2016 White House bid, said alongside nodding colleagues at the Republican Governors Association annual conference in Florida. Walker dismissed the Democratic president's order that shields as many as five million immigrants from deportation as a trap designed to divert attention "from the real issues in this country.''
The comments reflect a dramatic shift among some GOP leaders emboldened by this month's midterm success just as the next presidential contest gets underway. Having claimed the Senate majority in the low-turnout November campaign, the sense of urgency that dominated Republican leadership after losing the White House in 2012 has all but disappeared.
The evolution presents risks, however, for Republicans competing in a 2016 election that will draw a much larger and more diverse electorate, especially in a handful of swing states where the Hispanic population is quickly growing.
The contrast between the parties has never been clearer.
Prospective Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton praised Obama's order as an "historic step.''
"Now,'' she said in a tweet, "let's turn to permanent bipartisan reform.''
And as Hispanic leaders cheered the order, potential Republican presidential candidates threatened lawsuits and perhaps a government shutdown but no immigration policy of their own.
The Republican criticism has focused on the president's decision to act unilaterally, although political strategists acknowledged the distinction may matter little to Hispanic voters come 2016.

President Barack Obamas executive actions on immigration reform have Republicans upset by the presidents unilateral approach and Democrats defensively pointing to similarly far-reaching immigration legislation that was passed by former Republican president Ronald Reagan.
Whats missing from the current, back-and-forth debate is a look at the policys substance and its economic impacts.
Economists and politicians have widely different views on what impact Mr. Obamas executive order will have on the labor market and the economy, reported The Wall Street Journal.
Supporters of an immigration overhaul estimate that granting legal status will bring more workers into the tax system and boost government revenue, but many critics have said that it will overwhelm social-welfare programs and displace numerous workers, the WSJ continued.
Analysis by the Presidents Council of Economic Advisors says that the presidents immigration reform will amplify economic output and increase GDP by $90 million to $210 million in 2024, stated a White House press release. The CEA also predicts annual wage increases for all workers and a reduction to the federal deficit.
John Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has long been pushing for immigration reform because of the positive effects it would have on business.
It would help revitalize our economy by raising the gross domestic product, boosting productivity and attracting investment from around the world," he wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Times. "It would spur innovation and entrepreneurship. It would create jobs for immigrant and native-born workers alike. And it would help us address our challenging demographic realities.
