Those hordes of independents are competing with children for jobs?

That's how they'll see this. Anything that promotes illegal immigration will alienate them mightily.

That's how they'll see this. Anything that promotes illegal immigration will alienate them mightily.

Most of the independents that I know, anecdotal for sure, don't like Obama, but dislike the evangelical side of the Republican party just as much. Most see them as a hate group.

Most independents won't be for dumping a million kids into the streets of a foreign country to fend for themselves.

So siding with the kids is a smart move. Pointing out Obama bye passing congress is another smart move. So I think it was handled well.
