IMHO, pushing for comprehensive immigration reform is stupid with all the unemployed and underemployed. Rats could lose a lot of single white females.

How is amnesty ‘reform’ anyway? Just like 0bamacare is ‘Affordable’?

RE :”Much of the discussion surrounding the Gang of Eight’s 867-page immigration-reform bill has focused on how many Republican senators will ultimately support it. Their Democratic colleagues, meanwhile, are generally assumed to favor the bill but have largely escaped scrutiny. This is particularly true of Democrats from conservative states seeking reelection in 2014, for whom supporting immigration reform could prove politically challenging. Recent polling suggests their constituents may not be so enthusiastic about the Gang’s proposal.
Numbers USA, a group that favors “lower immigration levels” and opposes the Gang of Eight’s bill, recently commissioned polling in states such as Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, and North Carolina, all of which voted for Mitt Romney, where incumbent Democrats are seeking reelection in 2014. The results, obtained by National Review Online, indicate that likely voters in those states do not support the major policies in the Gang’s bill, particularly its lack of a strong border-security and enforcement trigger, and would be unlikely to back a politician who does.”

Of course GOP Senate traitors will give them cover by supporting it.

What most people mean by immigration reform is enforcement of the laws, crack downs on the businesses who employ illegals at slave wages, refusal to provide any other than life/limb/eyesight care to illegals in emergency rooms, etc.

Politicians, seeing that immigration reform is a top concern, draft a bill to give illegals even more incentives to enter the country illegally, and to give them an easier path to citizenship than legal immigrants have available, all so that they can increase their voter base. They count on no one noticing what their amnesty bill really is, if they call it "immigration reform."

I should be fair: not all politicians are doing that. It's mostly just the liberal politicians.

Simply put, no one trusts "The hero of Benghazi" to sign a bill that wouldn't simply be one more step to an overload of the system.

Best case scenario is to delay and bury anything from this regime until there's a group in power that recognizes and respects the Constitution.

Senator Mark Begich is trying to win reelection in a state that Romney carried by 15 points, and has already broken with his party once this year on a major vote — he was one of four Democrats who voted against the Toomey-Manchin background-check legislation. An April poll of likely voters in Alaska conducted by Pulse Opinion Research suggests that Begich could face a backlash for supporting the Gang’s immigration bill.

The people of Alaska need to hold Begich's feet to the fire over Obamacare. He voted for it in all instances.

Let this story be a lesson to all Republicans who sell out and support amnesty as well. Rather than worrying that supporting the enforcement of immigration law might alienate (mostly non-existent) Mexican GOP voters, Republicans should start worrying about alienating their base, which is overwhelmingly opposed to amnesty.

If you want reform, look at H-1B visas and perhaps some of the procedures for getting here legally. (Making it difficult to come legally perversely serves as an incentive to come illegally.) But first, cut off ALL benefits to illegals, require use of E-Verify, and put those who knowingly employ illegals in jail. (No matter how high you make the fine — and it should be higher — they will only pass it along as a “business expense.”)
