Growing evidence that Obama’s decision to wait on immigration is hurting Democrats

Less than a month after President Obama announced he would delay using his executive authority to reform immigration laws, there is evidence that the decision is doing exactly what he hoped to avoid: hurting Democrats.

Activists in key states say it is increasingly difficult to register would-be Latino voters who would vote for Democrats because of unhappiness over the decision. Poll numbers for Obama and Democrats have also dropped farther among Hispanics than the population at large. One group has even launched a campaign against four Democratic senators who backed a GOP proposal to bar Obama from taking any executive action on immigration.

“The president has not helped us,” said activist Leo Murietta, 28, who is working to register Latino voters in Colorado for Mi Familia Vota. “People are disappointed. They wanted action, they wanted activity, they wanted movement.”

With so many congressional and gubernatorial candidates locked in close races this year, Democrats can’t afford signs of complacency or sagging support. But Murietta and others believe that only action — not promises of action — will help spur increased turnout among Hispanics with just five weeks until Election Day.

Pure BS. If Obama had executed his EO amnesty, the Dems would have been destroyed.

But the take away from this article is that it is about politics, not right or wrong for the country, or even the illegals.

Obama sucks the oxygen out of the Democratic campaigns for the US House, Senate and more.

Hope he keeps his mouth open!

News outlets report that Obama's delaying action on immigration reform was calculated to help nervous Democrats in tight Senate races The WH said delaying amnesty would help Democrats keep control of the Senate......and prevent a powerless Obama from facing a fate worse than death----a Republican Congress.

Obama's actions were predicated on a tsunami of 2014 voter polls indicate massive voter revulsion for Democrats---a decisive vote of "no confidence." So much so that Democrats, themselves, forced Obama to delay his plan to E/O amnesty---hoping to stave off disaster to protect uneasy Democrats from voter wrath in November.....

===================================================

LATINOS WHINE FOR SUCK-UP Democrat Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Ill), the leading mouthpiece for amnesty, isn't taking Obama's dismissal lying down. Gutierrez said the Congressional Hispanic Caucus will meet to determine a formal response....and seemed to issue a veiled threat to the ambitions of nervous Democrats fighting to stave off the coming disaster.

GUTIERREZ: “No more excuses, I don’t care what senator is dangling in the wind, I don’t care what Republican proposal is being made,” he said. “I don’t care what happens. We are moving forward.”

IS GUITERREZ PLOTTING A COUP AGAINST DEMOCRATS?---his mouthings sound dangerously like a latino threat to vulnerable Democrats.

DEMOCRATS NEED TO GET CRACKING---DO THEY KNOW?

<><><> the number of identities Gutierrez is using now, or has ever used (driving a cab in Illinois);

<><><> the number of US govt check Gutierrez, his family, and his staff are cashing;

<><><> whether Gutierrez has ever been labled a ntl security threat; <><><> whether Gutierrez used infamous crooked Chicago tactics to get elected;

<><><> the list of his memberships in violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt;

<><> How many stolen Social Security numbers are his family, staff and political entourage using?

<><><> how many identities are the Guiterrez family and campaign entourage using?

<><><> are his family, supporters, and political entourage paid agents of foreign governments?

WHO IS GIVING GUTIERREZ HIS MARCHING ORDERS? Democrats need to get the FBI to subpoena Gutierrez's phone records, emails and snail mail, wire transfers, etc .....

<><> Examine his campaign contributors, foreign travel;

<><> did Gutierrez employ foreign agents as staff w/ US tax dollars?

<><> did Gutierrez ever file falsified documents w/ the federal government?

<><> did he ever make false statements on tax returns?

<><> did he ever apply for EITC refunds listing children "back Home" that are not related to him?

<><> does he earn outside income as a paid political consultant to foreign governments?

<><> did Gutierrez fail to register as an agent of a foreign government;

<><> Is Gutierrez and The Congressional Hispanic Caucus using tax dollars to conduct a coup against Democrats.

=================================================

FBI TIPS PAGE---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> Senate candidates should demand Gutierrez, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino pressure groups, be investigated.

L/E should supboena Gutierrez' official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

==================================================

Senate candidates should demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities against Democrats.

Senate candidates should demand to know if Gutierrez, his staff, The Congressional Hispanic caucus, are colluding to dump Democrats, and whether they are consorting with violent organizations to overthrow the Democrat Party unless they get their way.

IOW, "Latinos" care more about their ethnicity than the Laws of the country they get their freebies from.
