re: #307 Dark_Falcon

Because Republicans need border security measures as political cover, is a large part of why. This is not only due to anti-immigration sentiments, but also due to the feeling among Republicans of the Far West and El Norte regions that they got tricked back in 1986. Thus they want assurances that illegal immigration has been throttled back before a pathway to citizenship is opened.

Then those Republicans are fucking morons. Our immigration system is already throttled. Ask any immigration lawyer. Even people here legally have to go through ridiculous hoops and can easily fall through the cracks of the system despite doing everything right.

Just because the idiot base of the GOP wants to keep out all the brown people doesn’t mean that they can stall immigration reform. Something needs to give.
