The only thing about the Republican party is it has conservatives within it that are fighting amnesty and the invasion. The democrats have none and are infinitely worse. There isn't much choice at the moment but to work within the GOP and try to influence change.
But I agree with you, the RNC anyway is running scared and is afraid to touch it, that is going to backfire eventually, the conservative base is fired up on this issue and they vote.

My own Rep has really turned around on immigration and has pleasantly surprised me on a number of related issues. Letting your representatives know where you stand on the issues is essential in influencing change. If they get little input from their constituents their tendency is to follow whatever the party leadership says.
