Watch below as former RNC Chair Michael Steele tells Republicans to “get a grip” on immigration. “You’re sounding tone-deaf,” he counsels them, before advising them to pass the Senate immigration bill as a response to Obama’s executive action plans. “You have the solution in your hand.”
(Steele is right: extremist Republicans like Michele Bachmann have already begun talking about how the immigrants recognized by executive action will become “illiterate” voters. This kind of Republican overreaction will doom Republicans with Latino voters for a long, long time.)
