"I'm beginning to believe that the voters--who have never put illegal immigration in the top five issues of concern to them--wouldn't even notice if the whole discussion about immigration just faded away."

Which spikes the whole lie that 'we have to do something NOW!' that the open-borders lobby was trying to push this Spring.
They really wanted to sell swill and pretend it was better than "inaction", but got a huge voter backlash.

There was no "voter backlash." If there was any strong sentiment at all in favor of an enforcement-only immigration plan, the Senate would have passed the House bill.

I doubt if any bill will pass, which means things will just go status quo, and will stay that way at least during the next two years.
