President Barack Obama is facing sustained pressure from within his party to altogether abandon – not just postpone – the decisive executive action he has promised on immigration.
Top party officials involved in the Democratic push to retain control of the Senate in the midterm elections have explicitly warned the White House that Democrats risk losing several key states if he proceeds with an immigration reform plan being developed within his administration.
Three senior Democrats involved in the party’s election strategy, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the president was being urged to publicly drop the plan to take unilateral action.

He still has a year or two to use his pen and phone. No skin off his nose and he may save the senate...
What makes them think *he* needs the Senate? He’ll just go ahead and do whatever he wants, Congress be damned.
Now Democrats are running away from immigration reform??? No, it can't be.
Hang in there Democrats, the Republicans will join you shortly, and then it will be a push.
Might just as well tell it like it is...
The dirty little secret is that there are a lot of white dems that don’t like the idea of the country turning brown.
he’ll just do it after the election
REALLY?
Please show me their votes.
Exactly! He’ll giggle while he throws them under the bus.
Oink, oink...
That may be true in the citizenry at large. In the Senate, maybe less so, as their time horizon is next-term elections more than the fate of their country.
The dems are feeling the heat. I identified the source.. It’s the every day joe. (dem joe)
Interesting that disgruntled Dems had to leak this to The Guardian - presumably because Dem mouthpieces in the US wouldn’t touch the story with a 10 foot pole.
It's not like Mitch McConnell would be all that much less cooperative than Harry Reid. Heck, the GOP-e wants amnesty too!
I'm sort of confused...
According to the left and their lapdog media, the GOP is about to go belly up infighting with the "evil" Tea Party factions...
The Clown will wait until after the election.
And the Senate should still go Republican.
So what you mean is, the stupidity of white Democrat voters trumps their racism?
“It’s not like Mitch McConnell would be all that much less cooperative than Harry Reid. Heck, the GOP-e wants amnesty too! “
They want the senate first. Then they can dictate amnesty to Obama. Who will then legalize millions of illegals and in 2016 the media will blame the Republicans to go along with Hillary being against amnesty.
A six year old can guess this.
