Just recently he was bragging about not bowing down to Obama and the Senate. For his troubles, his own party kicked him out for being too soft on us. Canter wasn't going to pass any immigration reform this summer, but he was smart enough to know the GOP is going to be in trouble long term if they continue their anti-immigration rants.
At least now it's all in the open and the lines are drawn. The Tea Party have made us their #1 enemy and have told the GOP candidates that they won't win their primaries if they even bend a little on immigration. Now we know what the party stands for so my guess is in the near term, the GOP may get some hard core right wingers, but those guys are the crazies and will eventually screw it up by saying the wrong thing about rape, gays, women, in addition to their usual hate for immigration and lose the election.
It may take a couple of election cycles for the GOP to wake up and kick the crazies out but then, it was going to take a couple of elections to get immigration reform passed anyway.
Meanwhile, we have to get our citizen friends and relatives to register to vote. There is no excuse to not vote this time.
