While your stats may be right, in the Cantor case everything I have read points to his stance on amnesty. He even panicked and sent out ads that said how he helped defeat the Senate amnesty bill.
I don't think you need to be for amnesty to win a national election. When it comes down to it, in national polls illegal immigration is not close to being a top issue for voters. Romney didn't get crushed because he wasn't for amnesty. Bush didn't run on an amnesty platform yet won. It can be done with a good candidate. On the immigration issue the Republican nominee should take a no amnesty, secure the border, enforce the law, and make legalization easier stance. On deportation, say deport all those with criminal records but allow some type of legalization for those here now that have not committed another crime. It can be done in a tough but fair way that most people should be able to accept. Well, at least those on the right and independents te left will cry unless full amnesty and voting rights.

I think this is probably the worst idea. No amnesty is one thing but it's absolutely a horrible idea to create 2 different classes of "people". That's just asking for troubles....
Moreover. I don't think it will pass the Constitutional test. After all, you are asking for "Taxation without representation" for some forever unless we can get an amendment in which it's impossible imo.
