It's Official - Reconciliation It Is

Good, and politically it has to have your party shaking in its boots.

Just think what happens when Obama gets immigration reform after Bush and the Republicans refused to do anything about it so that their big money interests could profit off of illegal labor

Your memory of recent history is bad. Bush pushed hard for immigration policy changes and paid a big political price for it.

And I think the days of "big money interests" being more in the pocket of one political party over another are long gone. That's a tired, worn out cliche.

But it is an issue that divides the Republican Party and that's why it will be the next issue on the agenda. The Dems are united behind the idea because they believe it will deliver 25 million new voters into their rolls. That may make a difference in 2012, but not this year.
