What does the GOP hope to achieve politically? And why does anyone think the GOP is going to be necessary for future changes in immigration policy?

The answer to my first question is that GOP plans or concessions regarding immigration policy will gain nothing for the GOP. Regardless of how the math is done, even with best case scenarios, present immigration policies and policies regarding illegal immigration are a lose/lose game for the Republican Party. Unless reform dramatically alters present immigration policy, nothing will be gained. Everything on the table furthers immigration policy philosophy since the 70s.

The answer to my next question is that the past election determined what immigration policies and reforms are going to be. We will have amnesty and we will have de facto open borders. A fast track to citizenship is going to happen. Come one, come all, and take what you can is the new immigration policy. None of it is going to require the participation of Republicans. It will all be done through agency rules or through Congressional concessions that won’t do a thing to improve the GOP’s standing with new voters or minorities.

There’s a false premise underlying the question: immigration reform wasn’t the big issue with hispanics this year.

ObamaCare, and “free” health care was. For nearly 65% of hispanics, that was the primary issue they voted on.

Supporting immigration reform gets the GOP nothing. They won’t benefit from it (because hispanics aren’t going to vote based on it), and it will hurt them by driving away their base while simultaneously expanding the Dem base (from the influx of hispanic immigrants who will either become citizens or who will have children who are citizens.

This is why the Dems and the MSM are pushing this issue so much as one the GOP has to compromise on.
