There is concern firebrands may alienate Latino voters.
With President Barack Obama vowing to press ahead on immigration, prominent Hispanic Republicans are worried about the reaction of staunch conservatives. They fear it will harm the party's ability to win over Latinos in the next presidential election and beyond.
While immigration was generally a muted issue in midterm elections dominated by the GOP, Obama promised the next day to move ahead on his own to remove the threat of deportation or grant work permits to an unspecified number of immigrants living here illegally.

Republicans in the House voted 85% no to Amnesty in the last Amnesty votes during the Bush years
fact is Republicans have held a majority in House for most of the years since 1994 and since then there's been No Amnesty. Bush wanted Amnesty badly. Democrats wanted Amnesty as they will get 40 million new democrat voters. clinton wanted Amnesty , Obama wants amnesty. why haven't Republicans passed it since you say they want it so badly?

Why are the blessed RINO leaders out there pushing Amnesty? Answer that. Is it Opposite decade? Does that mean promising the people that told them no they are getting it is a good thing?
Are you even listening?
OMG, you need to read my post, preferably *before* replying to it. I didn’t say there were not other amnesty pushes — I said “the last amnesty push was in 2007.” As in the most recent, not that there weren’t prior pushes.
And where exactly did I claim Pelosi did not want amnesty? I said she needed some GOP votes as well in order to get amnesty over the top.
Please just read my post. Carefully. My goodness, some people are so anxious to jump all over someone, that they make asses of themselves.
How dare you notice? Don’t you know you need to STFU and let them pass it as they promised because thats conservative? Don’t you dare keep these Freepers to their word about holding feet to the fire. They went 2 whole days before proving that was another bald faced lie!
If they are afraid to fight for the people who sent them to Congress, they ought to step down now.

Riddle me this:
If the Republicans are so against amnesty, as you say, why does the Republican leadership keeping coming back to supporting it, once again ticking off almost the entire base of the GOP?
3 days ago we could have stopped this. But it was too important to send Jonbon and Mitch back to DC NO MATTER WHAT.
do you all even realize that it is Obama who will give amnesty to illegals by himself, by executive order, link:

“With nothing left to lose, and as a Republican blowout in both houses looms mightily this evening, Obama is throwing caution to the wind and preparing to give legal status to nearly 11 million illegals by this Christmas”
LMAO.
I couldn’t be any more conservative, but I am a realist and an adult.
if they want to so badly then why haven’t Republicans passed Amnesty then in the past 20 years? they’ve had plenty of chances even many most of this year.
There’s been no Amnesty . last Amnesty was during the Reagan years with a democrat House
Obama will act like a dictator and pass amnesty himself. does that worry you?

You ducked the question. I am not shocked.
A nation rife with unemployment in which øbama might well threaten your job...if you have one.
Adults do not attack conservatives and scream to support RINOs Jamie Lee.
The two boobs at the top of the GOPe are unfit to lead. It’s going to be hell for the next two years. Pathetic losers.
There’s an extra ‘more’ in the sentence.
