Congressman warns of 'civil war' among Democrats unless Obama acts on immigration
The Guardian (UK) ^ | 11/3/2014 | Paul Lewis

A Democratic congressman who has led the drive for immigration reform said Monday that Latino voters could punish the party’s candidates in the midterm elections and warned of a “civil war” among Democrats unless Barack Obama uses his executive authority to suspend deportations of undocumented migrants.

Speaking on the campaign trail in Colorado on the eve of the elections, Representative Luis Gutiérrez, a key figure in the push for immigration reform on Capitol Hill, said the president’s decision to delay action on immigration has sapped enthusiasm among Hispanic voters.

Gutiérrez, who represents Illinois’ 4th congressional district, said he believed the president would deliver a promised executive order “before Christmas”. But he gave a dire warning about the consequences for Democrats should Obama choose not to act swiftly and in broad terms, saying the costs would be considerably worse than the expected drop in turnout among Latinos and could result in people leaving the party.

Trying to claim credit for the beating the Donks are expected to take today. I always like the fact that Gutiérrez represents the 4th district of Illinois where all the original Hispanic settlers of Illinois live. /sarc

One more reason to GET OUT AND VOTE.

The entertainment value alone makes it worth while.

The worst thing about democrats and rinos is that they spend so much energy on things the public does not want or care about.

But that’s a good thing if it makes people vote against them. Like one guy was saying, how are radical Muslims like Democrats? They both like to blow themselves up. The majority of the country is against amnesty, yet Democraps keeping focusing on it. Good, let them. Let them destroy themselves.

In a sane society these idiots would be imprisoned as traitors for promoting unconstitutional action for the purpose of abetting an invasion of the USA.

It’s just political theatre. The Congressman from the good state of Mexico well knows that Mr. Obama will do something after the election and probably before Christmas.

That’s OK, the GOP-E has promised to give you Amnesty if OBolo fails to do it.

I knew this little shitstain growing up in the neighborhood next to Humboldt Park. At the time he was a gang banging member of the Latin Kings. And a little coward. A BIG MAN when he had a bunch of his buddies with him, a chickensh#t one on one. Not surprised he grew up a professional pol.

Illegals threatening open revolt in the US? And being backed by US democrats?

If the mexicans want a war, we can give them one, BUT, they and their lackeys inside of the US government, will not like the results one bit, assuming that they survive.

Mexico and its illegal ilk are seriously pushing their luck.

I think the republicans need to threaten impeachment if Obama tries anything with immigration or any of his overreaching executive orders.

Can they have their ‘civil war’ in Ferguson, Missouri ?

Solve several problems at once and minimize the cost to the public.
