If Obama was the "deporter-in-chief," then why did the Repubs refuse any passage of  bi-partisan immigration reform?

Could it be that most Americans - especially Repubs - like to exploit the immigrant labor market?Could it be that TOO many businesses are making mountains of money off of cheap immigrant labor?  Could it be that Americans like those cheap fruits and vegetables?  Could it be that Americans like immigrants to cheaply clean their homes, and raise their children?

If America would apply its own labor laws to its guest labor force, much of the "immigration problem" would go away.  Face it, this immigration issue was so important for Twitler because his whitelash voter-base is very threatened by immigrants because working-class whites at looking at diminishing economic prospects.  Whites are angry with and afraid of their economic future - and they reflexively blame immigrants.  Such are the seeds of hate and xenophobia.
