Politics ... as usual
The furor over immigration is an issue that won’t go away – can’t go away – because once it does it will no longer provide political ammunition for Republicans to use against the Democratic Party.
The easiest way for Republicans to win politically on that issue is to propose solutions that – at least to Democrats – defy logic and are unrealistic. Why? Because Democrats are suckers for logic and reject solutions that don’t make sense “logically”.
Years of failure by Democrats to deal with their myopia have not even begun to teach them that logic is their enemy. Take, for instance, their insistence that American workers are voting against their own self-interests. Speaking logically, of course they are! Doesn’t bother them a bit, but the argument is insulting to working people and is counterproductive for Democrats hoping to win workers’ trust.
