The Democrats have an immigration problem

Byron York:
...
There's a lot of polling to suggest that parts of Clinton's and Sanders' immigration proposals are pretty far out of touch with the majority of American voters. One might even suggest the Democrats' leftward move on the issue could threaten the party's chances at the polls. Of course, that would require the pundits taking their eyes off Trump long enough to notice.
The pundits would be forced to notice in a general election if the Republicans campaign among blacks who have been displaced by immigrant workers.  This is also true of working class whites who are out of work.  The Democrats are selling out their base to appeal to Hispanic many of whom are not eligible to vote.

The GOP can also make the case that the Democrats focus on raising the minimum wage will result in even more black youths not being able to find entry level jobs.  This should appeal to their parents who see the lack of entry level jobs as one reason these kids are on the streets and running with gangs.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
