It is possible that this might have been better in the long run for us. With all the support we have, and plenty of republicans speaking publicly favorably.


The problem is that now, the hawks will have much more time to assembly and decry any efforts as amnesty. We had momentum, the kind that does not last 6 months. This will put a lot of people who could possibly support the cause under the radar, conservative attacks etc... in the end making it politically impossible for some of these republicans to support the cause.
