Immigration: The debate Republicans don’t want …

Perhaps no issue has bedeviled Republicans in recent election cycles more than illegal immigration. GOP candidates have been snared, over and over again, by the difficulty of appealing to conservative GOP primary voters who dominate the primary process while not alienating Latino voters, whose influence has grown in battleground states with each presidential cycle.

This week, as the controversy raged on about the anti-immigrant comments of Donald Trump, his fellow GOP contenders found themselves seared by the damage that he was inflicting on the Republican brand. When Trump first made the inflammatory assertion in his June announcement speech that some illegal immigrants from Mexico are criminals and "rapists," many of his rivals were slow to respond. But as the fallout has continued, more are speaking out -- trying to reinforce that Trump's views are not representative of the image of the Republican Party.

READ: Donald Trump digs in on immigration

Some, like Jeb Bush, have sharply criticized Trump's remarks, while others like Marco Rubio -- who has taken flak from conservatives for helping usher an immigration reform bill through the Senate -- have seemed unwilling to engage beyond paper statements. And all of them will be tested on the issue before a national audience during the upcoming debates that will weed out the weaker contenders from the field.

By infuriating many Latino voters, who have pointed to a number of studies showing that crime is actually lower among illegal immigrants than the broader population, the debate has brought unwelcome comparisons to recent struggles by Republicans to talk about immigration in a way that broadens their appeal among minority voters.

It revived talk, for example, of Mitt Romney's suggestion during the 2012 Republican primary that he was in favor of "self-deportation" for millions of illegal immigrants -- a statement that made it extremely difficult for him to draw large numbers of Latinos to support his campaign when it mattered later in the general election.

President George W. Bush's strong performance among Latino voters -- he notched 44% of the Latino vote in 2004 compared to Romney's 27% in 2012, according to national exit polls -- seems like a distant memory to many Republicans now, despite a focus on building goodwill among minority voters by Republican National Committee operatives.

"We've gone from 44% to 27% among Hispanic voters, for a reason. You'll never convince me that it hasn't been about the way that we've handled this issue," South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said in a telephone interview with CNN on Tuesday.

"Mitt Romney showed a lot of political courage by saying that (his comment about) 'self-deportation' was a mistake, and now here we have Donald Trump casting 11 million people in a very derogatory manner. That's a problem," said Graham, who is also seeking the GOP presidential nomination. "There are some within the 11 million that are bad people, but I cannot tell you how harmful it is to reinforce a narrative that Republicans basically have very little respect for people."

Comprehensive immigration reform legislation would give a majority of Americas 11 million undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship and work authorization. But with immigration reform stalled in the House, President Obama announced that he plans to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own, without Congress. The President is reportedly considering deferring the deportations of up to 5 million immigrants, starting with those with families. While most columnists have supported the Presidents authority to take action, a minority have accused President Obama of rewriting the law and called him a domestic Caesar.

Immigration Reform 2015: DHS Decreases Deportations …

Under the direction of the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security has started changing the enforcement of United States immigration laws, focusing on integrating long-term undocumented immigrants instead of deporting them. The DHS has shifted its methods of enforcement to target onlythree groups of undocumented immigrants for deportation: convicted criminals, terrorism threats or those who recently crossed the border, according to the Washington Post.

The new policies push agents to ignore the majority of undocumented immigrants except for the three focus groups, and come amid legal challenges to the President Barack Obama's executive action from last year, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, which protected roughly 5 million eligible undocumented immigrants from deportation who have children who are U.S. citizens or legal residents before a federal judge put a stay on its enforcement until the conclusion of the lawsuits.

The change in DHS policy, however, merely governs the actions of immigration officials, rather than offering undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship, which may have a wider effect, according to the Washington Post.

"We are making it clear that we should not expend our limited resources on deporting those who have been here for years, have committed no serious crimes, and have, in effect, become integrated members of our society," said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in a recent speech. "These people are here, they live among us, and they are not going away."

The news comes after a Monday report by the Center for New Community revealing that DHS employees have been colluding with white nationalist, anti-immigrant groups. Unions representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents consulted the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Center for Immigration Studies and NumbersUSA, three anti-immigration groups, on immigration enforcement, according to Al Jazeera.

Many suggest that the policy changes may make drastic changes to the relationship between immigration enforcement and undocumented immigrants.

"It does have the potential to be extremely significant," Marielena Hincapie, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, told the Washington Post about the policy change. "It would allow people to live without that noose over their heads of the threat of deportation at all times."
