Why Republicans Are Losing the Immigration Fight



Taegan Goddard's Political Wire
by Taegan Goddard

First Read: “There are two reasons why Republicans aren’t winning the political fight over President Obama’s executive action on immigration. One: The GOP remains divided in how to respond (beyond decrying the action Obama took on Thursday). Two: It ceded the political high ground when House Republicans refused to consider any immigration bill that dealt with border enforcement and the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.”

Over the weekend, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) said, “I think we ought to put legislation on the president’s desk. That ought to be the response.” And Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, “Shame on us as Republicans. Shame on us as Republicans for having a body that cannot generate a solution to an issue that it’s national security, that’s cultural and it’s economic… I’m disappointed in my party.”

“As long as there are these kinds of quotes from Republicans, the GOP isn’t going to win this fight, even if the public doesn’t like the process Obama used here.”
