When I say politically not possible what I'm talking about is you have plenty of legal Asian and Hispanic Americans in the Republican party who would be offended at such a proposal and would jump ship. Even freezing immigration would be difficult, which is why just lowering it to traditional levels would be politically more appealing. The Jordan Commission's recommendations are moderate proposals and worth reconsidering, there's enormous support for it across the country.
When it comes to illegal immigration though, the Republicans have got to show leadership, we're being invaded, there's no other word to call it. The border has to be closed and illegals deported, no matter how messy it appears. And they've got to change the anchor baby rule. It's the greatest incentive illegals have for coming here.
Ok then.

I agree but it is becoming quite clear that the Powers That Be in the Beltway want this immigration crisis to continue ad infinitum. Heck, the RNC has even instructed all their candidates to avoid any mention of illegal immigration. It's hard to get the ball rolling on immigration reform when the only party that can effect change is silent.
