How xenophobes control the GOP: The right's impossible immigration reform dilemma


http://www.salon.com/2014/01/31/how_xenophobes_control_the_gop_the_right%E2%80%99s_impossible_immigration_reform_dilemma/

On Thursday, we examined the bind Democrats would face if Hous
e Republicans will only agree to an immigration reform plan that forecloses (or effectively forecloses) on the possibility of eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants. What would Democrats do if the best outcome they could offer the 11 million was legal status — freedom from the fear of deportation — but permanent unequal status in the United States?
But as happy as Republicans are to jam Democrats whenever they can, they find themselves on the horns of a more serious dilemma. Actually, they’re on the horns of two different dilemmas simultaneously. In fact, a decent alternative title to the recently released House GOP immigration reform principle would be “We Face Some Tremendous Immigration Reform Dilemmas.”
what they face is the unwillingness to compromise and let their racist bigoted attitudes stay outside of their job, their whole thing IMO is rounded off to one main driver they know Hispanics are traditionally Progressive voters letting them stay with citizenship creates effectively 11 million more Democratic votes rendering them obsolete.
As expected, the Republican plan contains no eventual citizenship guarantee, which means they’re unprepared at this time to support a plan that explicitly contemplates allowing the 11 million to become voting citizens.
Democrats are happy with the principles insofar as they nudge the process ever so slowly along, but a reform bill that precluded citizenship or erected severe roadblocks to citizenship would create obvious tension between Democrats and advocacy groups fighting for a citizenship guarantee.
It might even create tension between actual immigrants (many of whom would be thrilled to eliminate the threat of deportation) and the groups organizing on their behalf, who oppose a half loaf like permanent legal status for a mix of principled and parochial reasons.
ahh confirmation, they really don't know how to relate to non haters their rhetoric is all geared to inflame those already at the trough, these people are die hard segregationist they don't want to mingle with others not of their kind, that shows a paranoid sense of self what are they afraid of that other people will rub off and they will experience a sense of humanity and not being able to handle it?
