Obamacare and amnesty will make Obama one of the most influential and successful Presidents in history from the Dem perspective. These two legislative achievements will make the Dems the permanent majority party, Hello socialism and goodbye Constitution.
Immigration reform is Obama’s life preserver. If he gets legalization of status (amnesty) even without a path to citizenship, it will be a major victory.
And the GOP power brokers always want amnesty. The GOP thinks the base will still vote for them no matter what with the kenyan in the WH. They think they won’t ever get a better time to deliver for their big donors.
What I don’t get is the GOP seem to foolishly believe the Dems will give up the issue if they just do another amnesty. The Dems NEVER give up an issue like immigration to the GOP!
