Regrettably I agree Joe. The Republicans have become so comfortable in DC that they no longer have the backbone to make tough policy decisions in the interests of the majority of their constituents if it draws the ire of the socialists or certain business lobbies. In poll after poll most Americans think our immigration is too excessive. Who is representing the American people on this?
To wit, they support "getting tough on immigration" as a concept, but then suddenly get very reluctant when the conversation turns to details--because some of those details will personally inconvenience them.
