Immigration: The Issue Democrats Cannot Afford to Close

The Senate's immigration debate ended before it began because Democrats must have it continue.

Democrats face just such contradiction from internal and external pressure to keep the immigration issue alive through at least this November.

The last thing Democrats need is to show disunity on this issue to the left.

With "Money issues" now a win for Republicans, Democrats need social issues as a block.

If Democrats agree to an immigration deal with President Trump and Republicans, it removes this as a partisan issue.

As the left and Democrats recall: Trump won despite low support among Blacks and Latinos.

With no other big voting blocs out there, Democrats cannot afford long-term to let President Trump and Republicans further into the growing Hispanic voting group.
