Some Democrats, even in Arizona, are fearing an election backlash over immigration, as President Obama sues Arizona over its new immigration enforcement law and pushes Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul.
"My concern is that the federal government is suing the state of Arizona, ironically, over the ability to enforce immigration laws -- where if the federal government had been doing its job over the years, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place," Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., said.
Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, the Democratic nominee for governor, urged the Obama administration to back off Arizona's new law, which allows state and local authorities to ask people for immigration documents during unrelated enforcement encounters – such as traffic stops.
The president appears to be out of step with public opinion on immigration. The latest Fox News Opinion Dynamics poll shows 2-to-1 support nationwide for Arizona's law, including 73 percent of Republicans, 57 percent of independents and one out of three Democrats.

Oh trust the Professor brainiac! He’s handled every other issue sooooo well. Bwahahaha
What’s really sad is we all know what the outcome of the Federal lawsuit will be; it’s not like the Fed’s can lose in their own court.
Democrats best fear their leader. He will throw all of them under the bus if they get in his way.
Democrats in Congress applauding the Presidente Generalismo of Mexico castigating the US over Arizona’s law (at the same time he admitted that Mexico “sends back them” their own illegal immigrants) taint the entire Democrat Party.
A culture of corruption that stinks at the top.
Obamnesty=EPIC ELECTION DAY FAILFOR DUMMIES
I think Obama is going to try and pass Immigration Reform (amnesty) before the November elections. I bet these same Democrats will vote in lock-step with the zero.
Duh, ya think?
What I suspect will happen....as this Arizona item clears the Supreme Court and a complete loss for the White House...they will blame the make-up of the court...rather than the outcome of the case. Anyone whoever studied constitutional law...would think otherwise....except the one graduate from Harvard Law School who never wrote anything worth mentioning.
This is going all the way to SCOTUS, where the justices have been lickin' their chops to get even for Obama's bitch-slap to them at the SOTU ...
Funny how all these scumbags-who yammer on about “keepin’ it real” “being real”, “speaking truth to power”, etc—are actually a bunch of habitual liars who foam at the mouth and try to shut everything down when they hear an actual truth
Obama is anti-American.
Period.
..And they should.
So, press on, 0bongo, and while you’re at it, go campaign with every last one of them. Even if they say “no,” don’t buy their coyness. Don’t take “no” for an answer. After all, you’re The Won! Besides, they secretly want you standing side-by-side with them, because they’re actually foursquare behind EVERY BIT of your agenda.. especially your glorious 0bamaCare!
Of course Gabby never complained until it began to effect HER reelection chances!
It’s gonna end up with the Supremes..
You think? I wonder if these were the same Dems that were concerned about Obamacare backlash but still voted for it?
The truth is that they believe in everything that he is doing & have done their best to help him do it. Now they are worried about being re-elected?
They need to be tossed out like garbage - never to serve in government again...in no capacity, including dog catcher.
Well I say ‘Dick Tracy’, starting to get the picture??? Amazing....
