The way I see it, Obama's prudent, temporary, essential, leading actions on immigration have created a bulb moment for the Republcans. They understand this was needed, important, and that the president showed the way to go about it. They understand there is no escaping coming up with immigration legislation. If they don't it's going to be very bad for them. They will be exposed for good.
Atta boys. Stop the gumflaps, roll up your sleeves and get going.
