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.

3. Because Tepublicans care so much about Latinos?

Immigration reform was passed by the Democratic controlled Senate - it's the TeaPublican House that killed it. It's true that we need to move on this important issue but I'll bet my Aunt Fanny's fat arse Teapublicans ain't gonna do anything about it.
