You are counting on many things happening that would be unprecedented - like a democrat telling the truth, like democrats giving up on a welfare program for want of funding, like the GOP not going along with the funding of social welfare programs.

And the most relevant one here, like assuming the democrats will allow an initiative of theirs to be rolled back - formerly illegal immigrants having their legal status revoked.

Not really.

I’m looking at it along the lines of how the Clinton assault weapons ban was allowed to sunset, with no negative impact to the Republicans.

If, again, what Guiterrez says is true, this is time-limited. It doesn’t require Democrats to be truthful, in fact (like the implementation of Obamacare) takes advantage of their lies and allows inertia to run it’s course in exposing those lies for what they are.

Now here’s a possible kicker ... If I were running dirty tricks for a Conservative organization I’d start pointing out to the Hispanic community that this thing is time-limited, and when it does sunset in a few years DHS will convieniently have all sorts of data on the illegal registrants that can be used to find them and arrest them for deportation.
