There's a HUGE split among Republicans on immigration. The working stiff Republicans see foreigners as threatening their jobs and their pay grade. The employer Republicans see actually doing anything about illegal immigration and restricting legal immigration as threatening the cheap labor they have enjoyed for years. It's a real conundrum for their leadership, so far, they do nothing.

They need the working stiff votes, but they need the employer bucks. What to do?

Where should the Dems be on this? It's simple, they should strongly support limited legal immigration for those our country needs and come out HARD against illegals. Insist that employers that hire illegals raise their pay enough to attract Americans - If you've got to pay a guy 20/hr to pick fruit - that's what the job is worth. Make it a jail offense to hire illegals. That alone would win them millions of working stiff votes in Red states and elsewhere.
