Republicans mistakenly believe that if they just play nice and go along with the Democrats on immigration that somewhow that will translate into votes for them.

Wrong. The GOPe wants the flow of cheap labor, legal and illegal, continue to flow to satisfy their corporate paymasters who help fund their campaigns. Groups like the Chamber of Commerce and Americans for Prosperity could care less about the voters. The corporate elites own both parties.

Actually, I think it's both. They're pandering for the votes and as you accurately said, they want the flow of cheap labor to continue to satisfy their corporate paymasters.
