So we FReepers should compromise our principles (and do so during every mid-term election)? I don't think so. If a couple of Republicans lose their sets, so be it - that will be because they compromised their principles abandoning their platform and core constituency.

I hope no incumbent Republican loses his set; if they won't vote for enforcement of immigration laws *now*, imagine once they're eunuchs.

You nailed it.

That is my point. The right thing to do is enforce these laws, because that is what the American people demand. I don't care whether the Pubs win in November if they abandon their principles.

Is it a matter of "principles" or knowing when to bend a little in order to still be in charge, to feint to the side a bit, and win the battle in the long run...

Giving up the battlefield has never been much of a strategy
