That is absolutely false. The idea has always been, build a wall FIRST and prove sincerity about controlling borders, THEN work on dealing with those here. Don't try and pin the Troglodyte label on anti-ILLEGAL immigrant conservatives, it just doesn't fly.Well, it may not be what you wanted, but almost every poll for months reflected that a majority of Americans wanted some type of comprehensive immigration reform that included a path to citizenship and/or a guest worker program similar to what the President wanted. The fact that both houses of Congress were comprised of a majority of Republicans, and both houses passed immigration bills, yet refused to come together to even attempt to settle differences tells much.
While a comprehensive bill under the Republicans may not have been perfect, what we are going to get now with a Democrat congress will be far worse.
Apparently, they were too busy trying to amend the Constitution to bother with immigration, budgets, and energy. Nor did I use the term troglodyte...you did.

I really doubt that. Show me 1 poll that reflects this please.

What can be worse than granting blanket amnesty and eventual citizenship to the 20 million illegals already here? What could be worse than extending that amnesty to over 100,000,000 illegals in the next ten to twenty years? The existing Senate shamnesty "plan" does exactly those things.
BTW, I have yet to see a single reputable poll that shows a majority of Americans requesting an amnesty program; in fact, the exact opposite is true... which is why the original Senate plan was tossed out by Congress.
