Immigration bill splits GOP

[DaGoose]

The immigration debate is threatening to split the Republican Party, pitting those who focus mainly on presidential elections against those who care mostly about congressional races.

Strategists say that if Republicans are to win presidential elections, which they've been losing lately, partly because of dismal support from Hispanic voters, they must soften their rhetoric about illegal immigrants and embrace some version of "immigration reform."

Some GOP strategists fear they will lose either way.

"This is a perilous debate that Republicans have entered into,"

Republicans eventually can improve their standing with Latinos if they stop talking and acting as though they don't like immigrants, Cook told the House members.

The radical Tea Party Republicans - have more seats in the House than they deserve is a problem for both the Republicans and the Country.

Immigration is just another tip on the same iceberg.

You know...it really isn't going to help the GOP if they keep saying out loud that they are only doing it to garner votes. Just sayin'...
