Immigration is one issue where I think Republicans can find a lot of support from centrists, and even people who normally lean to the left. I think a lot of people dislike how Democrats handle immigration. When you know Democrats are going to capture the Hispanic vote because of their shameless pandering to immigrants, both legal and illegal, taking this kind of hardline stance is a good way to gain the favor of frustrated whites.

I wouldn't be surprised if the RNC was paying him to run interference leading up to the campaign.

Of course, neither side really wants to do anything about illegal immigration. Cheap labor makes a lot of industries a lot of money, and our politicians are for sale. Like anything else, it's a rhetoric contest.

Pretty sure you hit the nail on the head with this one Lune
