Media seems not to notice immigration ideologues in the Democrat party

Washington Post:
Immigration failure shows the ideologues are ascendant in the Trump White House

President Trump could have gotten his border wall. Democrats were willing to cave on that in exchange for saving the “dreamers.” That would have fulfilled the president’s single biggest campaign promise. But then Trump moved the goal posts.
The Democrats staked out a position that is unpopular with voters.  A large majority favor doing away with chain migration and the immigration lottery.  Those were the two issues that Democrats balked on and I suspect it was because they see people who come on that system rather than a merit system as more likely to be Democrat voters. 

A merit-based system would bring in smarter and more capable people not based on any race or creed.  Democrats must fear smart people becoming citizens.  They are less likely to be dependent so they do not fit their preferred demographic.

Polling shows that voters overwhelmingly favor a merit-based immigration system.  Republicans should hammer Democrats on that issue.
