Not a bit. Of course this was a dog & pony show to persuade the uninformed masses the government is serious about cracking down on the illegal aliens. All they want is just barely enough credibility (what they cannot ever get from loyal American conservatives who were on to them long ago) so as to hang on to enough of the badly fractured Republican base to prevent a disaster at the ballot box with a bunch of RINOs getting booted out of office.
"...to sell AMNESTY for 12 to 20 million illegal aliens."
It's not selling.
