Look, it's pretty simple.
Democrats have an unhappy base comprised of union and/or black Americans that are against this.
Republicans have a base that demands law enforcement and/or culturla preservation.
This results in at least 2/3rd's of Americans against blanket amnesty with mere rhetoric given to border enforcement.
Both parties stand to lose because they are chasing a minority. For Republicans they are chasing the dream of a Majority of Hispanics voting for them in future even though Hispanics ahve a split about this, as well responding to the businesses that fund their campaigns.
Dems are responding to the slim Majority of a Minority, the slightly over half of Hispanics that favor this....and trying to bring in more Dem voters by making illegals "legal".
The right thing to do would be for both parties to call "uncle", stand in unison and do what the Majority of the American people want. It would be the simplest act as well.

Unfortunately, that will happen about when monkeys fly out of thier butts. You're right on in your analysis, but there is too much acrimony on both sides for either one to make this happen. Too bad...because this sh*t is NOT going away, and it will get worse and worse until something is done. My fear is that even then it will be the wrong thing...
