the  fight within the GOP over this.



Hi,
Maybe not where you are, but there is a lot of publicity about that here. 
 
There is a lot of publicity about ALL the different angles and people  
fighting, too.
 
Within the Republican party, though--there are a lot of people who joined  it 
who are not *really* Republicans (ie pro-big business) so that could also be  
an issue in the situation. There are a lot of them who joined because of 
'moral  issues' and there are a lot of people who are meeting that one head-on 
and 
 discussing the issues of the poor, etc as just as moral an issue as the 
rest.  And, they are making headway...  (and how that impacts on immigration 
can  
go many different directions--all of which are being talked about...)
 
But, are you also suggesting that the Democrats are in unison on their  point 
of view about immigration?   What, then, is that point of  view?  Or, at 
least, the California Democratic party point of view?
 
(here there is division within the Democratic party on this issue,  too--just 
as much as in the Republican party--which is, it is true, hugely  divided on 
this issue. And it is very hard to put anyone in a partisan box here  in 
regards to this issue...unlike things like abortion, etc.)
