Senate Democrats urge President Obama to delay immigration order

[OriginalShroom]

If Democrats are so supportive of the mass illegal immigration that Obama wants to legalize, why are they begging him not to do it until after the November elections?

Are they afraid that it may hurt them in this election even more than what his promise to do it has done?

More top Democrats are pressuring President Barack Obama to slow down on immigration reform, further diminishing the chances that he’ll take sweeping administrative action before Election Day.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) wants Obama to wait until after November. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) said he has “concerns about executive action.” Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), who caucuses with Democrats, said it would be a “mistake” for the president to do anything significant.

It's a political trade off.

If Obama does provide a means for immigrants to work here legally then the Latino vote will support Dems in the states with those votes. But doing so might energize the GOP base in states where Dems are vulnerable.

I am sure that the analysts are doing the math and whichever option has the better political outcome will be the one that dictates what Obama does and when he does it.

Don't kid yourself.

The Republicans play the exact same games. They did the math on the decision to sue Obama and it showed that it would boost turnout in November.
