According to an article on [1] chron.com:  “The Congressional Hispanic Caucus denounced House Democratic leaders Wednesday as “spineless” and little better than Republicans for failing to take on comprehensive immigration reform.”

Immigration is a political hot potato that, at least in the current climate is best left alone.  The time to judge the Democrats will be starting in 2009.  Unfortunately, our system requires a lot of game-playing to get elected to office.  Avoiding the immigration issue is good strategy as I believe it is a lose-lose topic.
