The Wonk Room: Four Lessons That Should Stop Vulnerable Democrats From Cowering Away From Immigration Reform

The conventional wisdom is that Democrats — especially in highly contested districts and states — will duck-and-cover on immigration reform in an election year.  That is why some fear that immigration reform will be extremely difficult in 2010, with the midterm Congressional elections.  Borrowing from a Robert Creamer post on the Huffington Post, the Wonk Room offers “Four Lessons That Should Stop Vulnerable Democrats From Cowering Away From Immigration Reform.”  The lessons seem sensible enough but will Democrats have the courage to push hard on immigration reform? Or will they cower?  Time will tell.
