If these switch over to Republican Dems do not have a voting record of supporting Republicans in the past, I would not trust them. They would just be more Romneys and Linsey Grahams - run as Republicans to keep real Republicans out, but vote with the Dems on all critical issues.
Low wage voters instinctively know the effect that importing poor brown people will have on their ability to seek higher pay.
In 2017 and 2018, the Republicans had a majority in all three branches of the Federal Government. There was no legal power that could restrain this triumphant elephant. Collectively, the GOP possessed the authority of Louis XIV, the notorious Sun King, and could have simply ruled by decree. (Maybe an executive transition office in the White House would just draft court orders for the Supreme Court to rubber-stamp.)
What did the Republicans do with this power? Overthrow the Deep State? Drain the Swamp? Repeal the New Deal? Rescind the Administrative Procedure Act? Lol. With discipline and organization and purpose, the Republicans could have done anything.
Instead they did nothing.
