The truth is, many Democrats don’t really care about meaningful reform of our immigration system. They are pushing a pork-laden Big Government power grab and hoping to demonize the Republican party in the process. If it fails, they get to demonize Republicans among Latino voters in the next election; if it passes, they will happily grant amnesty to millions of people without solving the fundamental problems with the current system. They see the Senate bill as a win-win.
This is what modern liberalism and the Democratic party under Obama are all about: all that matters to them is winning elections, regardless of how many lies you gotta tell or how low you gotta sink - this is because in their arrogance and self righteous fervor they believe that as long as the country moves left, that's a positive regardless of circumstances - doesn't matter if the policies they promote are sensible or good for the country as a whole or as we've seen over and over again with Dear leader whether they're respectful of the role of congress or even the constitution - as long as it leads to wins, that's all that matters. As I've said before, listen to how a liberal will talk about Obama: it's as if his performance as president is beside the point, which is simply mind boggling - go back and listen to how they talked about him in 2008 - dare bring up fact back then that his resume was thin and he didn't look to be qualified for the job and that his putatively brilliant speeches were nothing but fluff and you were instantly vilified as being a racist for only a racist could fail to glory in the pure wonder of this 'historical' presidency - back in 2008 it didn't matter one little bit to these people whether the man was up to the job because the only 'job' they cared about was moving the country to the left.
And that's the truth about immigration reform - big gov't combined with significant demographic changes mean one thing to Democrats: the chance to move the country irrevocably to the left. Whether it's good policy or not is entirely beside the point to them.
