The immigrants must flow. The uniparty has decreed it, and no political candidate who wants to have any chance at all is going to buck that.
If immigration is your sole issue of concern, then prepare for disappointment.
I agree with pretty much all you said. Yet, there are those who are using immigration as their litmus test and seem to be gearing up to help the Dems in their quest for retaining the WH - they seem to think there is a potential for a panacea/singular event that will turn everything around and not require a decades-long battle of attrition to weed out the RINOs and to get the message across that we want conservatives that walk/talk/act like conservatives.
Well. I don’t think there is a whole lot of difference between the Rat-e and gop-e anyways. So if folks don’t show based on the wretched immigration policies of both, then I would be about the last person to criticize them for it. But for the candidacy of Ted Cruz and a handful of what I think are sincere conservatives, I would be making my November 2016 vacation plans as well.
I see no point in providing legitimacy to a de facto one party system out of a misplaced sense of duty.
