The current generation of politicians care only about their re-election. Whether the country can absorb up to 25 million illegals is not something they want to take a cold hard look at. After all its an election year and our immigration debate is driven more by political calculation than by an assessment of what we need as a nation in terms of desirable immigrants and what they can do on behalf of rather than take, from our country.

The current generation of politicians care only about their re-election. Which means it makes absolutely no sense for the Repubs to keep pushing for the legalization of these 11 million.
This voting bloc will never vote R, not as long as they are managed by the commie groups like ANSWER who running this whole charade.
