It's too bad that NPR did not poll on the immigration issue to determine whether in fact at least for the congressional midterm election the Republicans must accede to amnesty or lose election for losing the Hispanic vote.

Judging from the overall numbers it seems clear that immigration has not gained traction for the Democrats and has not significantly jeopardized Republican chances. It appears that it is only the Republicans who are jeopardizing Republican chances by pushing the issue of immigration.

No good can come of bringing immigration to the floor before this election in November it can only serve to divide the party and remind Hispanics what terrible racists Republicans are. The Republicans are going to win anyway, they do not need the money of the Chamber of Commerce and the rest of the elites so why do they persist with this issue on nearly a daily basis?

Yes, Boehner, McConnell and others are jeopardizing Republican chances.

Makes one wonder what's in it for them.

It does make you wonder if the Sheldon Adelson, Rupert Murdoch, and Mark Suckerberg money is going to Boehner, McConnell, et al. directly (rather than to their campaigns).

If the GOP brings immigration to a vote before November, they will cut their own throats. Unhappily, they like cutting their own throats! Whenever we tell them to go for the jugular, they go for their own...or ours!
