RE :”MSNBC political analyst Chuck Todd predicted last week that “immigration reform” will get “80 to 90 votes” in the U.S. Senate after the GOP’s great Latino lashing of 2012.
“Republicans will run, not walk, in trying to support that now,” Todd said.
So far, it’s been more like tiptoeing. House Speaker John Boehner told ABC News a “comprehensive approach” to immigration “is long overdue.”
“This issue has been around far too long,” Boehner remarked, apparently bored with musty old things like borders, national sovereignty and the rule of law....
.....
Hispanics have a high labor force participation rate, but are nevertheless disproportionately poor. In 2011, more than 40 percent of Hispanics reported that they lacked health insurance, which makes Obamacare potentially appealing.
Low incomes force families to rely on government assistance. According to one study, “Households with children with the highest welfare use rates are those headed by immigrants from the Dominican Republic (82 percent), Mexico and Guatemala (75 percent), and Ecuador (70 percent).”
One survey found that 73 percent of Hispanics opposed cutting Medicare spending and 83 percent preferred to deal with the deficit by raising taxes on the wealthy in conjunction with some budget reductions.”

Promises of tax cuts for the rich (Romney's main trick) didn't get Hispanics to vote R so amnesty will. I am sure all these poor Hispanics will vote for 'tax cuts for the rich' if we just give more of them the vote.

What could go wrong with this plan?

For Chuck Todd, simple surrender is not enough. Maybe Boehner should follow Obama's example by apologizing for the history of US immigration policy, which has been remarkably generous in the last 30 years, but apparently not generous enough.
