Congress knows which side of the bread is buttered. Butter is money and congress get its money from business interests. By and large the nativists and screamers do not donate but they do vote. Congress responds routinely to money and only occasionally to voters. Democrats backed off gun control when it became clear what it cost. The ruling class will back off amnesty when its members pay a career price.
In the forthcoming debate we will learn two things. First we will see the level of outrage in the taxpaying class. Second, we will see how interested the ruling class is in heeding the wishes of the taxpaying class.
So the unions do not contribute to political races? Nor do PACs?
Darn Furrinners, THEY TAKE OUR JARRBBSS.
Haha!
