RE :”Well she agrees with me that they are just stoopid rather than deliberately helping the rats”

The two arguments regarding the GOPs motives for supporting this are :

1) because they believe that this will help them in elections regarding Hispanics

and 2) That they were bought off by business (SJB main point)

There is truth to both of them.
On #1 Potential POTUS candidates are terrified of Hispanic backlash like Romney suffered, GOP House members are the least affected by that as hispanic districts are already Dem.

On #2 The Senate bill was reported many times to be a deal between the Chamber of Commerce and labor (big unions) by Senators themselves. So SJB is right too.

Senators worry about both depending on state specifics.

No need to disagree on their motives #1 vs #2.

last : Rubio is lying to us , no question about that.

And no, Republicans are not going along with this because they want to lose their own elections. That one is not worth debating. Its mainly #1 and/or #2.

I agree with you, but not with R buffoons (#1) that this will help them in elections apart from money from fat cats.
