Republicans just can't help themselves. They really, really, really want to do the right thing. But there is an element in their party and a rightwing media that just won't let them. So they just go on saying offensive things and driving minority voters over to the democrats
Once there is amnesty, who's going to be doing those jobs that "nobody else will do" at below min. wage? This is why there will never be a closed border, just amnesty after amnesty.
GOP gets it and the dems want the voting block.

Oh I'm sure the left would never even DREAM of introducing race into the discussion, and attempt label their opponents as such, when they don't happen to agree with Obama's policies. It's much easier to take the low road than stand and defend a difference of opinion.

After the republicans got thrashed in the last election they set up a commission to evaluate why they lost and how to avoid losing in the future. The prime finding of the commission was that the demographics of America were changing (no surprise there) and that if the republicans wanted to remain relevant they needed to change also. The recommendation was that the republican party needs to actively work toward bringing Hispanics into the party.
They have a perfect chance to do that now but I fully expect that the republican party will once again shoot themselves in the foot. What the republicans need to do is to come out with a broad immigration plan that offers a way for Hispanics to become American citizens. But THAT is exactly what President Obama is preparing to do. This places the republicans in a bind. Should they strongly support a sweeping immigration plan (similar to what Obama is offering) OR should they dig in their heels and refuse to accept any plan Obama offers just as they have done throughout the last five years.
I am betting that the republicans will dig in their heels and refuse to offer a plan similar to Obama's. In other words, they will once again play the obstruction card and in the process slap the people who could help them win elections in the face. And then, after losing the Hispanic vote by a wide margin in 2014, they will once again scratch their heads and ask "Why did we lose? I don't understand."

Sure dumbfuck...whatever.
The Democraps lost big time in the last midterm election over "obamacare" and that was before it was actually fucking people's lives up like now. Nevermind the silly website can't work and people realize their "gods in DC" are really liars and idiots.
It is over for Obama and his fellow scum. Go fuck yourself.
Not at all, OKTexas, that won't pass the Senate.
All three components must be passed in the same bill.
If not the reactionaries will renege on the other two, if only a close the border bill is passed first.
The Dems and business are willing to have no bill pass because they will benefit, one at the ballot box and the other in the cash box.
You mean like the commies reneged on border security with Reagan? We can actually learn from history here and not make the same mistakes again. Security will be first with the house all else is dead until that is accomplished.

Republicans lose on the issue of immigration because many on the right fear change and diversity; they perceive such change and an increasingly inclusive American society as a threat to their positions of advantage and privilege.
And there is a significant element of racism present in the Republican Party republican politicians of good faith must acknowledge and also fear.
This does not mean republicans are racist, or that racism is an official tenet of the Republican Party. So too are conservatives not racist, nor is racism an official tenet of conservative political dogma – but racists, for the most part, do identify as conservative and are more likely to be attracted to the GOP.
This racism manifests itself as an animosity toward Hispanics perceived by many republicans and conservatives as interlopers, seeking not freedom but jobs, and refusing to assimilate.
Hispanic Americans correctly perceive this animosity as indeed racism toward Hispanic persons, and consequently vote democratic. Republican opposition to immigration reform is also correctly perceived by Hispanic voters as animus toward the Hispanic community, where republicans seek only to ‘stem the tide’ of Hispanic immigration.
Republican politicians need to find the courage to stand up to the racist elements in their Party and support comprehensive immigration reform; the alternative is to continue to drift closer to the abyss of political irrelevance.

And here we see an example of the stupidity, hate, and ignorance common among the right that will also contribute to the continued failure of the GOP.

As long as people in the GOP consider Democrats to be 'Communists,' their party will never get anywhere. It's so totally foolish and ignorant to hold such a point of view.

It is interesting to note that President Obama has deported more people to Mexico than any other president. Will you give him any praise for that? Of course not. The bottom line is Obama will push for an immigration plan. The gop, thanks to the tea party, will refuse to pass it. The Hispanics will see who is trying to help them and they will show their anger for the gop at the polls. In other words, THE GOP WILL SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT ONCE AGAIN.Securing the border and a workable entry/exit system is needed before anything else is considered. That will be the republican focus. Once the flood gates are closed then the rest can be addressed. The senate plan is dead because it is unconstitutional, it contains revenue raising aspects in fees and fines that must originate in the house.
What commies in the GOP reneged on the bill, OK?
Doesn't matter what is first in the House if it is dead in the Senate on arrival.
Only the Dems and business win with no bill, not the GOP. Americans faith in our GOP is at historic lows.
Jakey the dems lost all credibility on security when your dear leader refused to complete the fence that the law said, the secretary WILL build, not optional and the dem congress let him get away with it. Yes both houses were controlled by dems at that time. The republicans won't make that mistake again. I've told my congressman that criminal penalties should be incorporated in any new law for any administration official that fails to follow the law. It's way past time to hold these politicians and bureaucrats accountable, maybe the threat of jail will get their attention.
(1) The public trusts neither party since dear leader Reagan.
(2) The Pubs made the mistake when they controlled all branches of the governments by not doing so
(3) The demographics are changing so that the growing Hispanic vote is more numerous and important than that of the far right anti-immigrant vote in America.
No bill will pass if all three components are not part of it.
The public will punish our GOP severely if that does not happen.
