A lot of people don't like the GOP's 'principles of immigration.' My question: What don't you like? Border security?? http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/31/us/politics/text-of-republicans-principles-on-immigration.html?_r=0 …
@ThePlumLineGS If they say "Border Security and Interior Enforcement Must Come First," my support is premised on them telling the truth.

@mattklewis it's not clear what that means in practice. does it precede even a probationary/work status? On MSNBC Ryan said it doesn't. -
@ThePlumLineGS That wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me, but fair point. -
@mattklewis right -- it's a deal breaker for the diehard anti amnesty crowd... -
@ThePlumLineGS My point: If someone can't support these general principles, then I'm not sure what immigration reform they could support. -
@mattklewis exactly right. they don't support reform -
@ThePlumLineGS True. But it's usually cloaked as, "these principles aren't good enough," not "I don't want to do immigration reform." -
@mattklewis Yes. The bridge that needs to be crossed is getting to some form of legalization without triggers designed to make it impossible
