Default Anyone paying attention to the immigration debate in Wsahington this week?

Any of you political types paying attention to the debate in Washinbgton DC to the immigration debate? If so, where do you stand on the issue? Are you more in line with the president, pro-business GOP, and dems or are you more in line with the righ wing tough enforcement close the border types?

It's a tough political issue for the parties and is really causing rifts in the GOP as you get the pro-business wing listening to their corporate buddies and wanting to keep the cheap labor flowing and avoid heavy fines/prosecution for using illegals and the close it down, nail businesses, and deport immediately crowd in the GOP's right wing. The dems meanwhile are siutting back and letting the GOP bicker among themselves hoping they wound each other seriously and cause a big rift between the two groups they can exploit.

Both sides have to contend with the reality that the latin community is one of the fastest growing blocks of voters in the country.

I'll surprise most people here by saying I am more in line with the tough stance right wingers on this issue. The biggest stumbling block they face is the reality of 12 million or so illegals already here and the massive probelm it creates if you want to try and ship them out so as not to reward their law breaking behavior.
