Because with or without amnesty, Latin Americans will become an increasingly larger portion of the country and the electorate as time goes by. So, it's a question as to whether you'd want to win the primaries now, or lose the national election forever. The leader on this issue was none other than the number one Republican himself, the President. You can be sure, McCain was not the only Republican supporting this issue. If it was really simple, you wouldn't see McCain and Kyl out of Arizona going in different directions. And if Americans really could decide what they think about it all, you'd see both Republicans and Democrats going one way or the other. Some Democrats did not support it either. For sure, more Democrats did than didn't. But mostly because they expect to reap the results, most especially if Republicans line up firmly against it.

It is not split 50-50 I assure you. Most Repubs pols favor enforcing our current laws and securing our borders. And most republican voters strongly favor enforcing our immigration laws and securing our border with Mexico. Look at the Repub presidential candidates, Juan McCain was the only one to come out in favor of the Senate Amnesty bill and his campaign has been tanking ever since.
The only presidential candidates who have a proven record of being tough on illegal aliens are Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, and Ron Paul. All the Dems are for open borders and amnesty for all the illegals in the USA!
It is the Dems who have a major split when it comes to immigration. It is about 50-50 when it comes to the Dem voters and the issues of amnesty for illegal aliens, but the vast majority of Dem pols in Congress favor amnesty.

Big business wants cheap labor despite its ruination of the schools and services and wages the other half of the Republican party needs for its own families. The populist side vs the globalist side.
I consider myself independent, now.

that's not even rather well worth the attempt to describe what each and each claims to stand for. extra interesting is what they're doing.. the two one in all them remember heavily on worry. The Republican's are unique of their usual worry motivator that's being attacked by means of brown human beings. no remember if or not they're Muslim or African or Mexican - Republican management has confident their occasion that whites are below consistent siege by means of brown human beings. and that they are an easily available scapegoat for any concern. The technical words are "Terrorism" and "Immigration". meanwhile Democrats usual worry motivator is the synthetic destroy of our organic components. This incorporates the nutrition, air and water. The Democrat management has confident their occasion that each and each marketplace or technical boost has dramatic irreversible injury upon our atmosphere. The technical term of course being toxins. the two events have their base confident that the different occasion is the propagators of a international nefarious plot to place in an authoritarian government. The Democrats think of the Republicans are going to do it with organic and organic weapons and protection rigidity whilst the Republicans think of the Democrats are going to do it with law and economics. subsequently of each and every of the terror all of us is scared, untrusting and unwilling to open their perspectives. this may be a Machiavellian administration technique - or it could only be the organic effect of a particularly youthful business society. nonetheless somewhat sparkling on their own from millenium of monarch rule. the two way - the actual quantity one priority of all national politicians is stability. Or keeping status quo. the place they fluctuate is diffused questions of budgeting and priorities. the two events are constituted of distinctive sub sections. One interesting component of the GOP is the non secular perfect co-latest with their Libertarians (ala Ron Paul). in my view i'm pulling for the latter. meanwhile on the left you have complete blown atheist communists co-latest with our own Libertarians (ala Ralph Nader). national politicians inspite of occasion association are frequently decrease from the comparable textile. everybody at that time has been vetted and knows rule quantity one - stability. previous that they are going to "stand for" regardless of their base needs them to "stand for".

No that is not true 80% of Americans are for secure borders and stopping illegal immigration. This is one area where we are very united.

None of the republicans that I know disagree. Enforce the laws and secure the border.
It looks like Mitchell doesn't hate foreigners (and good for him). He just hates half of all Americans. Bravo.

Republicans are not united on the issue of immigration and it is the reason why they are so divisive.
