Yes. Moderate Republicans never liked him at all.

As far as immigration goes we've got the worst of both worlds: immigration laws that are very restrictive WRT slow-skilled immigration but precious little enforcement of said laws. I have person experience with having my visastatus held over my head by an unscrupulous employer and it wasn't nice, I had to put up with **** that I would have quit over in a minute if I were a citizen and I'm sure that things are much worse that way with illegal employees. This undermines all kind of standards that workers in America has attained.
The best course of action would be to raise the number of unskilled worker visas issued to a sane number and then crack down on employers of illegal immigrants HARD (it's stupid to focus enforcement against people who have nothing to loose like the idiotic "build a fence proposals). And while you're at it make things a lot easier to skilled immigrations and students who want to study in the states. The brain drain is a wonderful thing that has done the US no end of good and as things stand educated people who want to come to the US face FAR too much red tape and various costs.
And while you're at it make it easier for my wife to get a green card. As things stands there's no way I can show her my home town unless I move back to the states, re-establish residency and THEN start on the paper work
