That is a great insight man! That is the simple reason for all this political posturing.
The dems have a base of tree-huggers and America haters that will stand behind them 100% if they gave amnesty to all illegals. But if they did that, all the middle of the roaders they gained during the Bush years will leave them like they left Bush.
They are stuck.
I predict they will do something akin to the following:
1) Make a big todo about "feeling Arizona's pain" and will send more, so called "patrols", to the border in Arizona. (directing the illegals to the east and the west to California and New Mexico so Arizona will just shut up)
2) Claim they have stopped most illegal immigration after a short time and there will be 20/20 and Dateline shows on deserted roads that used to be illegal trails to back up the lie.
3) They will implement an amnesty program that will START in about 7 years after most of them have already made it through the next two + elections.
Then they can "claim" to have been strong on illegal immigration, Claim to have saved Arizona, Claim to have been "humane" and allowed amnesty while actually doing nothing except pushing it off on the next administration.
But then again, maybe Obama is dumb enough to believe the left wing nutcases is all he needs to keep his regime in power. Who knows?
