As you watch the immigration debate play out over the coming weeks and months, watch how these three groups play out: The reformers This includes most Democrats and perhaps a handful of Republicans. They want reform on the merits—having an undocumented underclass is bad policy—and on the politics. For Democrats, it's catering to a priority of one of their most important (and growing) constituencies (not just Latinos, but Asians as well), and for Republicans, it's the realization that they won't win another national election (or a personal one) unless they can eat into Latino support for Democrats. The problem for Republicans in this camp is that their efforts are a long play—Latinos won't be switching their votes by 2016.
