Even if the politics are difficult, Democrats might gain support with their base if they take up the cause of immigration reform. "It divides them (Republicans) worse than us," Democratic pollster and strategist James Carville told a group of journalists last week. "Politically, I think it is a good issue for Democrats to bring up. It gives (the GOP) fits, real fits."
Carville's blunt remarks underscore a demographic reality that shrewd Republicans also admit: As the nation grows browner, the GOP is increasingly a party of older whites. Vehement anti-immigrant rhetoric in the party's ranks has alienated Latino voters.
That alone ought to give Republicans the courage to join with Democrats to adopt comprehensive immigration reform. And then there's this: It's the right thing to do.

I wish this guy was advising Obama instead of freaking Rahm Emmanuel.

Dream Act is a smaller part of CIR and it would take a lot less time to debate, vote and pass.
