The idea that you can just get on board with legalizing a bunch of 3rd world illegals and they will suddenly become-- even in part-- GOP voters is laughable. Let us be overly optimistic and assume that 40% of those legalized go GOP. At 10+ million, that is still 2+ million in the hole and doesn't consider the next generation of kids. Immigration spells doom for the GOP barring some kind of mega catastrophic event like the Great Depression or Civil War. There is no political purpose to be served by supporting yet another legalization. 30 years of it already has this country trending left.
They can come up with a plan, but it shouldn't include any legalization.
I said reform. Didn't see where I said blanket amnesty. We need a realistic plan. We don't currently have one. I thnk the Dems are willing to play ball. If we had a pub pres/vp combo with a moderate plan I think something could get something done.
Probably naive, but eventually someone has to lead. Pubs better make sure it is them.
