It is interesting to find that the overwhelming majority of requests to change the tone in exchange for compassionate, humane, real solutions to immigration reform are towards the Republicans.  As if the Republicans are the only ones who must give up all of their values in the "compromise". 

More disappointing is knowing that not only is the charge coming from those outside of the party, but from within the party establishment themselves.

Perhaps the true Republicans should come up with their own "reform" in November 2012.
