What the GOP Should do in 2015

Now that the new Congress is sworn in here are some things the GOP needs to do in order to be viable in 2016.
Both parties poll badly on favorability ratings, so start with the proposition that the vote was more of an antiObama vote rather than an endorsement of the GOP. Not all of the ideas here will be popular, but this is about 2016 not whipping up the ideological base.
1) Pass legislation and send it to Obama.  He either signs it or vetos it, but it shows that there is a path forward and the GOP is trying to move the country beyond the inactivity of the past few years.
2) Offer a plan on immigration.  Ideally the plan will be the same as what Reagan and the dems worked out, but in reverse order.  Give each illegal immigrant an "L" number (for lottery) and a 3 month window to register for the L number.  If no L number, no chance for amnesty.  As the border is secured and benchmarks are met there is a lottery to decide which L numbers become lawful permanent residents.  If an L number holder commits a crime, they are deported and the L number is forfeited.
This removes immigration from the table.  With that moderate Hispanics are more likely to vote with the GOP based on shared social values since the issue of immigration has been nullified.
3) Tie the minimum wage to the Social Security COLA adjustment.
This takes the issue off the table and also keeps the minimum wage in line with what the government has calculated is necessary to keep up with inflation.
4) Work on an omnibus energy security bill.  This will include both carbon based and renewable resources.
This blunts the environmental argument since renewable sources of energy are involved and helps to insulate the country against the whims of the Middle East.  It will also likely create jobs as fracking and the Keystone pipeline will doubtless be a part of the plan.
5) Enter into trade agreements with Africa.
This will create an alternate to China as a source of production thereby insulating the country from ill effects of a trade crisis as well as overall weaken the Chinese economy and reduce their ability to be a superpower.
6) Earmarks.  Hear me out on this one.  Use earmarks creatively to restrict the budget Obama is able to use.  For example as part of the budget earmark some for expanding the strategic oil reserve.  This would be in tranches with date certain releases.  If the date arrives and there is no activity towards expanding the strategic oil reserve then the budget bill dictates the amount to be released in the tranche is to be evenly split between servicing foreign owned debt and supplementing the Social Security trust fund.
This allows for the ability to compromise with Obama (knowing he will not act on earmarked portions he disagrees with) while at the same time reducing the national debt (thereby lowering future interest payments) as well as helping to fund Social Security.
