Not just that word, but the other word he used in that same phrase:
"'We used to hire 50 or 60 wetbacks and — to pick tomatoes,' Rep. Don Young said in a radio interview."

Most voters can recognized fakery when they see it, and they will reject this lame attempt to "rebrand" the GOP. The very first objection came from Republican Party consultant John Weaver, who then convinced Boehner to comment. I will believe the GOP is turning the corner when Boehner's reaction to a comment like this is instantaneous, spontaneous, and vehement.
