1. COMMENT
Immigration Reform In Sight
The anti-immigration caucus in the House has suffered a massive
defeat in this election, with the loss of over a dozen hardcore
anti-immigration congressmen, and NumbersUSA, a staunchly anti-
immigration organization, is saying that "Nearly everything
about our cause got more difficult." Now the ball is squarely in
the court of the new Democratic House leadership--will they
press for comprehensive immigration reform? For a detailed
survey of the impact of the immigration issue on various races
in this election, see here.
