If there is an all or nothing(the whole enchilada) strategy, why would Feinstein’s amendment deal with only the narrow segment of ag workers?
I like that “whole enchilada”. Because it was the best she could hope for. Listen I picked up on the “whole enchilada” strategy during the SAVE Act dust up. La Raza got mad at the dems because the bill was supposed to provide dems with cover during campaigning because it was an enforcement bill. La Raza went crazy because it had no amnesty provisions. They demand an amnesty provision in any immigration bill. Once that camel’s nose is under the tent La Raza has a victory they can build on. Visas, fence, enforcement? These are reforms La Raza can’t hang their hat on. Its amnesty(no matter how big or how small) that increase their power. Now Feinstein can say she tried one last time before November.
