Few topics are as divisive as immigration. The hard right faction of the GOP despises immigration and fight to limit it at every turn. The monied interests in the GOP, the ‘Fortune Five Hundred’, have a divergent opinion on the matter but are loath to voice their support for fear of angering the base the GOP needs to turn out and win elections. American clearly benefits from immigration and desperately needs comprehensive immigration reform but that simply is a heavy lift with mostly weaklings in Congress.
