Discussion: Obama May Delay Immigration Moves Until After The Election

Discussion for article #227037

shocking

Doing that would involve too much political common sense for it to be a policy of the Obama white house.

Is it just me or wouldn’t watching Republicans have a xenophobic meltdown just before an election be a good thing? And are any of the vulnerable Democrats really going to get the votes of these people anyway? I’m really asking as I’m not that familiar with those states’ demographics.

Maybe I’m out of touch but I thought this was an obvious political winner for the dems – motivate the base while reminding the swing voters of teh republican crazy (see, e.g., shutdown talk) just weeks before the election. Sigh.

That meltdown would ignite their base. They already have the advantage this being a midterm election.
