Republican's are looking at this as lost votes if they hold to the letter of the law. Maybe so but only in boarder states. California is already a lost cause, Texas will be OK. This might tip the balance in New Mexico and Arizona.

Just like there are tens of thousands of 9/11 Democrats that now vote Republican, what do we stand to gain in votes from moderate dems by holding the line on immigration?.,. I think a lot. So maybe it's a wash.

the political equation here (overall) is hard to read - mostly because I do not see any good polling on what hispanic-americans want to see regarding "immigration reform". that the key block being fought over.
