Now, I can see the political dynamics has shifted in favor of the Democrats...
The Democrats have an upper hand on the so-called "fiscal cliff" negotiations. In addition to that, the Republicans want to do something about immigration to stop any more Hispanic voters moving to the Democrats...

Although the birthright plan that the Republicans are having is unlikely to become reality due to the complexity involved in the process, it is good to see that the Republicans are alarmed.

At least, for President Obama's second term, there won't be as many issues bigger than immigration as during his first term. For the past four years, immigration was pushed off due to the economy, the health care reform, the budget/tax bills, the financial reform, etc. And, now, the Republican leadership is alarmed by the fact that more than 70% of the Hispanic vote went to the Democrats.
