This week, conservative opposition to immigration reform continues to fall away, with the RNC releasing its report and Rand Paul supporting immigration with a path to citizenship. As Benjy Sarlin at Talking Points Memo wrote yesterday, even Tea Partiers are now coming around to supporting immigration. Some now wonder if we’ve hit a tipping point on immigration, and who is left around to oppose the issue. Mark Krikorian is hoping for an anti-immigrant champion in Bobby Jindal, while Steve King is convinced that opposition to immigration is going to mobilize any minute now. They might both be waiting for a long time.
