8. Look at America today. Opposing this won't win us votes, it'll cost us votes.
People are tired of illegal "immigration" and I don't blame them. This law certainly goes overboard, but the federal government isn't ever going to do its job when it comes to illegals.

Also, since you can't go five minutes in this country without someone crying racism, people have turned a deaf ear to the accusation even when the complaint is legitimate.

I think we'd better look elsewhere for a winning issue. Crying out against a law designed to make life hard for illegals when the feds aren't doing anything to help will cost us more votes than it gains in a country that seemed all too willing to tolerate eight years of Bush.
