New Democratic Immigration Strategy …Sort Of

The Democratic Party finally released what appears to be their official strategy/talking points intended to counter the Republican immigration wedge. Now, I'm not a high paid consultant, or a professional Washington strategist with a long history of losing campaigns, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what the Democratic leadership is trying to accomplish with this plan. Up until now it appeared that the "Republican-lite" strategy developed by Rahm Emanuel and the DLC centrists looked like it would become the party line. But with this new strategy, recently released on the party's website, I frankly haven't a clue what the Dems ultimate plan is. The strategy in essence revolves around a few key concepts:

• The Republicans are using the immigration issue for political gain
• The Republicans had plenty of time to fix immigration and didn't
• The Republicans have been unable to secure the border
