Immigration Schmimmigration

Of course the feckless Dems were scared shitless.  Solving problems, standing up for progress, and fighting your opponents don't appeal to them, partly because they don't believe it and partly because they don't care.   Most of the national Dems are hopeless right-wing clowns who aren't Republicans only because of optics or careerism.  The Dems should have been campaigning on this immigration thing for the past six years, paving the way for Obama's final defeat of Republican obstruction right before the 2014 election.  That didn't quite play out.  I wonder why?
