"Obama set the immigration trap, and the GOP walked in"

"Obama set the immigration trap, and the GOP walked in" says Republican Tamar Jacoby in LAT oped: "Americans aren't hearing the message about the president's abuse of authority. They're hearing the GOP say it hates immigrants."

For now they want to keep their base engaged and happy. They plan to go more 'softly, softly' as pampango Feb 2015 #3

the 2016 election approaches - if their base will let them. They obviously hope that Hispanics, Asians and others have short memories when it comes to their immigration policies.

they've done so well in past 30 yrs because of long-term plans. Cheney Cabal worked & plotted long & hard f/ long haul. Are they getting too smug -- just because their power in state/local rigged districts so they won seats while losing in actual vote numbers in past 3 elections?

Or do they think their attacks on education & info sharing (viva net neutrality!) have dumbed down electorate sufficiently?

Well, trick, trick Repubs --we're not gonna let anyone forget. Even if we have to do it 1 byte at a time. Liberals have a looong memory when it comes to injustice.
