The Republican Party Leadership's performance on immigration is not acceptable to the vast majority of the American people and this issue along with others unless there is a dramatic change in this leadership's performance is going to lead to the Republican Party losing power in future national elections. Both on the DACA issue and on their efforts to reduce legal immigration the Republican Party leadership has got it wrong! Many rank and file House Republicans recognize their party has got it wrong on the DACA issue that is why they signed on to circumvent their leadership and bring immigration bills to the floor. The vast majority of American people think it is only fair to give people in this DACA group legalization and a path to citizenship and want Congress to cut a fair deal to bring this about they think this DACA conflict has been around too long Washington is dysfunctional if they can't solve this one and the Republicans are Washington right now. On the DACA issue with everything that has been transpiring over the past three months that being that the status quo on DACA is completely untenable one would hope that the message that key Democrat members of Congress tried to communicate to the Republicans on January 9th at the big White House summit on immigration which was and is when when the conversation opens up to things like increasing detention facilities for illegals and deportation resources you'll talking comprehensive immigration reform which includes a myriad number of issues it is ten times harder to get a deal done but if the conversation is limited to a DACA fix for a just concession(s) like a border wall a deal is doable!
The Republican party is making a colossal mistake on immigration trying to reduce legal immigration, the American people hear in the media that the fishing industry and other seasonal industries in America cannot get the number of workers they need to succeed economically as well as they readily can because Republicans won't issue the needed number of visas for foreign workers and it moves the American people to believe we need to remove the Republicans from power in Washington they are not getting the job done!
