The Los Angeles Times duly reported, "Some Republicans fear that pushing too hard against illegal immigrants could backfire nationally, as with Proposition 187 (the 1994 ballot measure that sought to deny benefits for illegal immigrants, that) helped spur record numbers of California Latinos to become U.S. citizens and register to vote. Those voters subsequently helped Democrats regain political control in the state."
The backlash will come in Nov. and they won't need illegals to vote to get the result. The Republicans are sealing their fate by continuing to ignore their constituents IMO.

So the GOP will tap dance around the issue, do nothing, open the floodgates to millions more illegals with the expectation of what? That they'll vote for the Republicans when they register to vote?
What a crock of delusional crap.
