The Immigration Fight Is the Battle for the Soul of the GOP

The party's internal conflict isn't about wooing Hispanic voters. It's a proxy battle between pragmatist elites and the angry fringe -- and the fringe is winning.

Jose Luis Magana/Reuters

Imagine a policy proposal that has the support of the Republican National Committee, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Karl Rove, John McCain, and George W. Bush. The Chamber of Commerce backs it, as do major Catholic and evangelical groups. Right-wing think tanks like the Cato Institute, major GOP donors, Rupert Murdoch, Grover Norquist, Haley Barbour -- they all want it, and it is broadly popular with voters.

And yet this legislation -- immigration reform -- is widely viewed as having no chance in the Republican-led House of Representatives, because the party's hard right has decided it is not the "conservative" thing to do.

If immigration reform goes down to defeat, it will mean that the right has won the defining post-2012 battle between Republican factions. It will mean the GOP establishment's efforts to wrest back authority, which had appeared initially promising, have failed, and the hard core is still in charge. It will mean that the party is ruled for the foreseeable future by a small but implacable faction whose ideology is so unyielding it cannot be swayed by policy concessions, political necessity, or financial self-interest. It will mean that, in the climactic confrontation between the establishment and the Tea Party, the Tea Party won.

For the Republican elites who overwhelmingly favor immigration reform, this is a grim prospect. "This is the fight for the soul of the party," said John Feehery, a former top aide to House Speaker Dennis Hastert and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. "Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan get it. Ted Cruz doesn't get it. It's the defining struggle for the Republican Party, and right now the good guys are losing."

The debate over Republicans' approach to immigration has largely focused on politics -- on whether and how the party will be able to woo Hispanic voters in the next presidential election. But the intra-party psychodrama is bigger than that. It's about whether the pragmatists can seize the reins of the Republican Party, or whether the angry, oppositionist, populist strain retains control. (Feehery calls them "the haters," and sees them as the heirs to the Know-Nothings who tried to keep out his Irish ancestors.)

The consequence, these more moderate Republicans fear, will be a GOP that remains the party of Sarah Palin and Donald Trump, one that is content to excite the passions of an irate base without even pretending to propose solutions to the country's problems.

"We will not be a national governing party for a long, long time if we turn our backs on this chance to pass immigration reform. It's just that simple," said John Weaver, the former John McCain and Jon Huntsman strategist, calling the prospect "depressing."

"If you only have to worry about your right flank -- you don't have to worry about a general election, don't have to worry about governing -- that's a pretty easy gig, isn't it? What the hell is the point?"

By rejecting immigration, he said, the Republicans in the House are sending a message that they're not interested in being part of the solution. "If you only have to worry about your right flank -- you don't have to worry about a general election, don't have to worry about governing -- that's a pretty easy gig, isn't it? What the hell is the point?"

Among Republican power brokers, support for immigration reform -- meaning a comprehensive bill that legalizes the undocumented, expands legal immigration, and increases border security -- is virtually universal. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the business lobby that spent more than $30 million against Democratic candidates in 2012, has endorsed the Senate proposal. Karl Rove, the last strategist to win a presidential election for the party, has repeatedly devoted his Wall Street Journal column to urging reform, and George W. Bush recently emerged from his post-presidential seclusion to do the same. In a post-election "autopsy" commissioned by the Republican National Committee, the only policy prescription was this: "We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform." The committee that drafted the report included former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer and prominent GOP strategists Henry Barbour and Sally Bradshaw.

A group called Republicans for Immigration Reform is headed by Bush's commerce secretary, Carlos Gutierrez; its board includes fellow Bush Cabinet members Spencer Abraham and Margaret Spellings, as well as Charlie Spies, who last headed the pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future, and Malek, a prominent GOP fundraiser since the Nixon Administration. The American Action Forum, whose president is a former political director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, is airing ads boosting immigration reform; the group is backed by former Senator Norm Coleman and former Bush and McCain economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin. FWD.us, the pro-reform group backed by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, has a Republican subsidiary called Americans for a Conservative Direction whose board that includes Haley Barbour, the onetime Mississippi governor and RNC chairman, and Dan Senor, the former Bush and Romney adviser. The Southern Baptists, normally one of the most conservative religious groups, are among several that have aggressively advocated for an immigration solution that includes citizenship for the undocumented.

This powerful coalition was enough to get a massive reform bill through the Senate last month with 14 Republican votes. But now the legislation's fate is in the hands of the House, where Speaker John Boehner has said the Senate bill will not be considered and no immigration action is likely until fall at the earliest. A burgeoning conventional wisdom holds that the prospects for reform look vanishingly dim. Anti-immigration-reform hard-liners such as Iowa Rep. Steve King decry the Senate bill as an "amnesty plan" that threatens to taint "American civilization and culture into perpetuity."

The pro-reform GOP elites express frustration that their combined efforts seem to hold no sway with the unruly House Republican caucus. Some wonder if the GOP is risking its standing with big business by failing to move on immigration. Privately, they mutter about the "crazies" -- but the fact that they're powerless to overcome this unreasonable fringe is a powerful statement about the dynamics of today's Republican Party.

Many explain the problem structurally -- the majority of House Republicans come from overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly conservative districts, where it's in their interest to avoid a primary challenge. "From a political point of view, are Republicans concerned primarily with a challenge from their right in 2014, so they have to protect their right flank by being very hard-line?" Gutierrez told me. "It's unfortunate that that gets in the way of doing the right thing."

But the "primary challenge" explanation is, at its heart, a euphemism -- a delicate way of explaining that the activists who vote in Republican primaries are easily swayed by high-volume invocations of ideological purity, and must be appeased at all costs. Republican politicians remain scarred by the primary battles of 2010 and 2012, when candidates like Todd Akin and Sharron Angle proved there's no limit to primary voters' appetite for red meat. In some cases, the Republicans now in office got there by winning such primaries, ousting more compromising pols. These Republicans aren't afraid of the right-wing base; they are the right-wing base.

Some conservatives fighting for immigration reform look at the overwhelming power amassed on their side and don't accept the conventional wisdom that they are bound to lose. They point out that reform opponents are far more marginal now than they were in 2007: Talk-radio hosts aren't united on the issue, the Minutemen are gone, there are no protests in the streets, and even the shouting at congressional town halls has been minimal.

Joshua Culling of Americans for Tax Reform has accompanied Norquist -- who, he points out, is "not some squishy RINO" -- to Boise, Austin, and Topeka to campaign for immigration reform. He says the anti-reform House caucus appears mainly to consist of "Steve King and his four friends," and they're not getting as much traction as they used to. He believes the many House Republicans who have thus far declined to take aggressive stands for or against comprehensive reform are an encouraging sign.

Culling acknowledged there is a "visceral reaction" from the GOP base to any sort of immigration legislation, but he suggested it is "more an anti-Washington thing." If the push for the legislation ultimately fails, he said, "the pro-reform conservative movement will not have done its job. We have such a compelling case to make as to why it's good policy."

Others are less sanguine, and they see dire consequences for a party that is increasingly out of their grip.

"We have a fundamental deficit of leadership among political leaders when it comes to standing up to the ideological, radical voices who claim to speak in the name of conservatism," said Steve Schmidt, the former McCain presidential campaign strategist. And with immigration reform's prospects looking dim, he said, "Things could get worse before they get better."

Anglican Church Says No to Inaugural Gay Wedding

Thursday, 18 July 2013, 9:10 am Press Release: ZM - Radio Station

Anglican Church Says No to Inaugural Gay Wedding at St Matthew?s in the City

18 July ? ZM?s Fabulous Gay Wedding, scheduled to take place in St Matthew?s in the City on 19 August, (the day the bill becomes law), is now looking for a different church to hold the inaugural gay wedding in New Zealand.

ZM?s Content Director, Christian Boston says the station received an email from St Matthew?s Vicar, Glynn Cardy, late yesterday saying it was no longer possible.
?St Matthew?s have been incredibly supportive of our competition but it appears that the higher powers in the church have been looking at the Anglican Church policy and have concluded that they can?t marry a gay couple.?

ZM?s celebrity breakfast host, Polly Gillespie assures finalists and the public, that there will be a church wedding.

?This is a momentous occasion for New Zealand. If we went with a civil service and then a blessing in St Matthew?s as the Anglican Church has suggested, we?d effectively be saying everyone?s equal but some are more equal than others. That?s not good enough for us at ZM. We want our royal themed wedding to be a proper wedding, which means a marriage ceremony, not a blessing or anything less than that. ZM will deliver on this. We are left with no alternative but to move the ceremony elsewhere, so we?re on the hunt for another church!?

Gillespie says interest in ZM?s Fabulous Gay Wedding has attracted international attention.
?World media contacted us when we announced it on air and I have no doubt they will be following this most recent development closely. I feel for Vicar Glynn and St Matthew?s in the City, as they have been hugely supportive, I love their courage and approach to life as we know it in 2013.?

Email issued by St Matthew?s in the City
We are sorry that we were unable to negotiate a way to hold the first same gender wedding ceremony here at St Matthew?s. Anglican policy allows us to only have a religious ceremony with a same gender couple after they have been married in a civil ceremony elsewhere. At St Matthew?s we think that policy is discriminatory and we are committed to working to change it; although realistically such change may take many years.
We wish the couple well, and wish ZM all the best as you support them.
Regards Glynn Cardy

Remember the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal, and those scary stories last year about how it would give foreign multinationals the right to sue the countries who sign up to it, if said corporates happen to feel disadvantaged by any laws or regulations that governments might pass, or if these multinationals feel annoyed about any rulings made by local courts? Tell it to the Canadians.

Canada is currently being sued by a very large US pharmaceutical company called Eli Lilly, because Canadian courts have ruled that Lilly?s patents on two drugs have expired. Lilly disagrees, and is reportedly suing Canada for $500 million in compensation for its losses. More>>

What does the ACA employer mandate delay mean for you ...

Where does your organization stand now that the Obama administration has pushed back the employer mandate portion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)?

• Small businesses: If you have fewer than 50 employees, the ACA doesn?t require you to offer health insurance to your workers. The employer mandate postponement has no effect on your business. Note: Plans are still under way to launch the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) on Oct. 1. SHOPs are the government-run marketplaces where small employers can locate and buy affordable insurance for their employees.
• Larger employers: If you have 50 or more full-time employees and already offer them qualifying health benefits, you don?t need to do anything. If you?re a large employer that doesn?t provide insurance, you?re off the hook for another year.

Don?t rest too easy, though. Use the next year to figure out how you are going to comply by Jan. 1, 2015.

Senate nomination pact averts meltdown _ for now

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A bipartisan Senate pact has smoothed the confirmation path for a batch of President Barack Obama's nominations and removed, for now, a Democratic threat to impose procedural changes weakening minority Republicans' clout. Yet there are no guarantees that the conflict won't flare anew the next time a White House appointment stirs controversy.

A day after both parties celebrated an agreement averting a bitter fight over Senate rules, the chamber planned to vote Wednesday on one of Obama's picks, Fred Hochberg to be president of the Export-Import Bank.

Also possible this week are roll calls on Labor Secretary-designate Tom Perez and Gina McCarthy, Obama's choice to lead the Environmental Protection Agency.

On Tuesday, Republicans agreed to allow quick votes on seven Obama selections by simple majority margins, rather than forcing Democrats to garner 60 votes to succeed. Hours later, the Senate by 66-34 approved the first of those appointments, confirming Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ? after Republicans had blocked him for nearly two years as they demanded changes in the agency's structure and financing.

In a written statement, Obama thanked Senate leaders for working out their dispute but criticized his opponents for using "purely political reasons" to stall the nominations.

"In the weeks ahead, I hope the Congress will build on this spirit of cooperation to advance other urgent middle-class priorities" like revamping immigration laws and keeping student loan interest rates from rising, Obama said.

In exchange for the GOP concessions on the nominations, Democrats agreed to drop their effort to change the chamber's rules. Obama also submitted two new nominees for a pair of labor posts after Republicans adamantly opposed his initial picks.

"Does that mean it will last forever? I don't know about that," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said of the accord. But he added, "We have a new start for this body, and I feel very comfortable with it."

Democrats had been threatening to muscle through a rules change preventing opponents from forcing top agency nominees to win 60 votes from the 100-member Senate.

That would have diminished the chamber's filibuster rule that minority parties, Republicans as well as Democrats, have long cherished as a tool that prevents them from becoming virtually irrelevant. Changing the Senate's rules by majority vote ? instead of the two-thirds margin usually required when the plan is controversial ? is unusual and considered likely to invite such harsh retaliation that it is called the nuclear option.

"I think it's a step in the right direction that the majority has chosen not to exercise the nuclear option," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "We feel good about that. I think they feel good about it. So I think that crisis has been averted."

The standoff was resolved following an exceptional closed-door meeting in the Capitol's old Senate chamber Monday night, attended by nearly every senator. For the previous several days, senators had met and made phone calls in an effort to head off a clash, with several lawmakers crediting Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for helping bring the sides together.

As part of the resulting agreement, Obama withdrew his nominations of two nominees to the National Labor Relations Board, Richard Griffin and Sharon Clark. Obama installed Griffin and Clark onto the board in 2011, bypassing the Senate but triggering a legal challenge in which an appeals court has said the two appointments were invalid. Republicans were insistent that those selections be replaced.

In their places, Obama nominated Nancy Schiffer, a former top lawyer for the AFL-CIO, and Kent Hirozawa, counsel to NLRB Chairman Mark Pearce. Reid said he was planning for the Senate to confirm both next week.

The seventh Obama appointment involved in the bipartisan deal is Pearce, whose pick is relatively uncontroversial. The NLRB appointments, if confirmed as expected, would prevent the virtual shutdown of the agency because of a lack of confirmed board members to rule on collective bargaining disputes between unions and companies.

HBT: Cespedes steals the show at HR derby

The winner of the Home Run Derby isn?t even an All-Star. But he?s here and his presence was validated: Yoenis Cespedes has won the 2013 Home Run Derby.

Cespedes hit 9 homers in the final round ? his last traveling 455 feet ? beating out Bryce Harper who had eight. Cespedes had 32 in all to Harper?s 24. In the team competition the the AL beat the NL 53 to 50. Cespedes did not have to use up all ten of his allotted outs in the second round. If he had, the AL ? and Cespedes ? likely would have had higher totals.

Harper was nothing if not consistent, hitting eight homers in each of the three rounds, but Cespedes seemed to have an entirely different gear tonight. His final round homers finding parts of the park that no competitor had found all night.

And so we have survived another Home Run Derby. They are fun for a while, then get a little tedious. But it was nice for once to see a competitor seem to grow stronger as the night went on rather than have the final round be somewhat anti-climactic. Oh, and it ended with Cespedes being awarded a brand new Chevy Silverado. So that?s nice for him.

That?s it from Citi Field for today. It?s been a long day of meet-and-greets, promotional events and weird exhibitions. Tomorrow we get the reason we?re all here: the All-Star Game. ?Keep a window open with HardballTalk and NBCSports.com all day, as we?ll be hitting you with our best shots from morning until late in the night.

Ready to tackle new challenges and experiences, Tim Van Damme, the Lead Designer for Instagram, will be leaving the Facebook-acquired company to join up with Dropbox. Van Damme has a healthy track record, having designed for Instagram since January of 2012, as well as Gowalla and TenForce prior to that time. He'll join former Facebook designers Rasmus Andersson and Soleio Cuervo in his new position starting in early August; in the meantime, he'll be taking a few weeks off, though we wonder if he'll be sharing any pictures of his vacation or the amazing food on you-know-what.

Researchers urge citizens and healthcare providers to be vigilant

The number of tick-borne illnesses reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is on the rise. Lyme disease leads the pack, with some 35,000 cases reported annually. In the Northeast, the black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) that spread Lyme disease also infect people with other maladies, among them anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and as a new paper in the journal Parasites and Vectors reports Powassan encephalitis.

Powassan encephalitis is caused by Powassan virus and its variant, deer tick virus. The virus is spread to people by infected ticks, and can cause central nervous system disruption, encephalitis, and meningitis. There is a 10-15% fatality rate in reported cases, with many survivors suffering long-term neurological damage.

Rick Ostfeld, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and one of the paper's authors, comments: "We've seen a rise in this rare but serious illness in parts of New York State that are hotspots for Lyme disease. And we suspected it was tied to an increase in black-legged ticks carrying deer tick virus, particularly on the east side of the Hudson River."

This is precisely what a 5-year assessment bore out. Researchers surveyed ticks at sites east and west of the river. Fieldwork involved collecting ticks off of small mammals and birds, as well as dragging tick cloths near animal burrows and known tick habitats. Routine surveys performed by the New York State Department of Health were also incorporated in the study.

More than 13,500 ticks of seven species were assessed. Black-legged ticks made up almost all of the collection. Nymphs and adults were sampled, as these life stages are most likely to infect people. Counties surveyed included Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Sullivan, Ulster, Orange, and Rockland. In addition, blood samples were taken from a variety of birds and mammals, to identify deer tick virus hosts.

Throughout the study, lab analyses performed at Wadsworth Center's Arbovirus Laboratories found deer tick virus in black-legged ticks. Areas east of the Hudson River had the highest concentration of infected adult ticks on the order of 4-5% in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties. Virginia opossums, striped skunks, and raccoons were among the animals found to transmit deer tick virus to feeding ticks.

Laura Kramer, one of the paper's authors and a research scientist at the Wadsworth Center, notes: "Our findings are consistent with deer tick virus infection rates in people revealed in clinical tests by the New York State Department of Health. Of fourteen individuals testing seropositive for deer tick virus, ten were residents of Westchester, Putnam, or Dutchess counties. Another two were from Albany and Suffolk counties, areas with burgeoning black-legged tick populations."

Adding to the problem: unlike Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis which take feeding black-legged ticks hours to transmit deer tick virus transmission can occur in just 15 minutes. This leaves very little 'grace period' for removing ticks, and underscores the importance of vigilance in tick habitat.

Ostfeld concludes: "When patients present with encephalitis symptoms in areas with high levels of Lyme disease, especially during the summer, physicians need to consider Powassan encephalitis. While rare, it's associated with significant complications. There is no vaccine or specific antiviral therapy, the best strategy remains prevention."

Our knowledge of Powassan encephalitis has grown largely as a result of West Nile virus surveillance. Both are part of the flavivirus group of arboviruses. More extensive arbovirus testing may reveal that deer tick virus is more widespread than previously thought.

Asia Markets: China stocks jump after data, lifting Asia

By V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) ? Asian stock markets rose Monday after data showed China?s economy grew in line with expectations in the second quarter, belying some fears of a sharper slowdown.

The Shanghai Composite /quotes/zigman/1859015 CN:SHCOMP +1.23% ?fronted the region?s stock advances, climbing 1.6% after data from the National Bureau of Statistics put the quarterly gross domestic product growth at 7.5%.

Other economic data released Monday also eased worries, with June retail sales, in particular, rising a better-than-expected 13.3%.

The GDP growth figure ? although weaker than the 7.7% expansion recorded in the first quarter ? matched expectations in separate surveys of economists by Dow Jones Newswires and Reuters.

It also followed a period of intense debate over the growth trajectory, as analysts worried that the Chinese economy may face more headwinds as Beijing refrained from providing additional fiscal or monetary stimulus.

China?s economic data prompt a relief rally in Shanghai, boosting other markets.

?The deceleration is a result of reduced domestic investment and a weak global environment. Further deceleration is possible if reforms and stimulus measures are delayed,? said Moody?s Analytics economist Alaistair Chan.

The gains in Shanghai also came after China?s Xinhua news service ? which had late last week cited Finance Minister Lou Jiwei as tipping 7% growth for 2013 ? corrected its story over the weekend. The report said the minister had actually indicated the economy would expand 7.5% this year, in line with the government?s official target.

Elsewhere, Hong Kong?s Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475 HK:HSI +0.11% ?rose 0.4%, while Australia?s S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884 AU:XJO +0.29% ?and South Korea?s Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118 KR:SEU -0.21% ?each added 0.3%, with all three of them erasing earlier losses in the wake of the Chinese data.

Japanese markets were closed for a holiday.

'Breakthrough' in U.S.-China trade?

Is the talk of a breakthrough in U.S.-China trade negotiations just talk?

?After all the conjecture over the weekend, the latest batch of Chinese economic data was largely in line with economist forecasts,? said CommSec economist Savanth Sebastian.

?The good news is that retail sales lifted for the fifth consecutive month, and while not at heady 15%-plus growth rates seen a year ago, it still provides a degree of encouragement,? Sebastian said.

Several Chinese banks rallied to lead the rebound in Shanghai. China Citic Bank Corp. /quotes/zigman/1875236 CN:601998 +4.80% /quotes/zigman/36931/quotes/nls/chbjf CHBJF -8.00% climbed 6.7%, more than tripling its gains before the GDP data were released, while Bank of Communications Co. /quotes/zigman/1875309 CN:601328 +2.55% /quotes/zigman/527616/quotes/nls/bcmxy BCMXY +0.52% , or BoCom, rose 2.8%.

Chinese banks also fared well in Hong Kong, with China Construction Bank Corp. /quotes/zigman/35073 HK:939 +0.74% ? /quotes/zigman/529424/quotes/nls/cichy CICHY -2.58% ?rising 1.1%, and BoCom /quotes/zigman/34374 HK:3328 +0.80% ?adding 1.2%.

The banking-led advance also followed data released by the ?People?s Bank of China after the market close on Friday showing a slowdown in June in total social financing ? the broadest measure of bank loans and bond issuances ? from the May level.

Meanwhile, China?s statistics bureau said Monday that the non-performing loan ratio at the country?s commercial banks sat at 1%, up slightly from 0.9% in the first half of 2012 but still relatively low.

Meanwhile, the stock performance in Asia followed a third straight week of gains for U.S. equities, after the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA +0.02% ?and the Standard & Poor?s 500 Index /quotes/zigman/1653884 AU:XJO +0.29% ended at record highs Friday.

Major miners in Australia erased their losses after the Chinese economic data to aid the market?s recovery. BHP Billiton Ltd. /quotes/zigman/180893 AU:BHP +0.36% /quotes/zigman/270355/quotes/nls/bhp BHP -1.80% ?and Rio Tinto Ltd. were both marginally higher after dropping earlier in the day.

Also supporting the market, the recently battered shares of surfwear maker Billabong International Ltd. /quotes/zigman/264916 AU:BBG +13.04% ? /quotes/zigman/264915/quotes/nls/bllaf BLLAF 0.00% extended Friday?s rebound, climbing a further 6.5%.
