Sotomayor could buy Obama time on immigration
…”The Latino community — and not just Latinos, but anyone who’s had a set of life experiences like Sotomayor — will always remember Barack Obama for this,” Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., told
The Hill in support of Obama’s choice for the Supreme Court. ..”
Obama, who is set to hold a high-profile meeting on immigration with key lawmakers June 8, recently has seen an increase in his favorability rating among Latinos rise from 67 percent to 81 percent, according to a University of Washington poll, and may experience another increase with his controversial high court pick.
However, Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies writes in the National Review that there’s no way immigration reform is going to happen this year. Recent surveys show more than 75 percent of U.S. citizens are against providing amnesty to illegals.
“It’s just fantasy,” Krikorian opined, noting Obama most likely will dodge the immigration debate until next year. Bolstering Krikorian’s contention is a recent Pew Research Center study that shows only 34 percent of Democrats support reform of immigration laws, down 14 percent from two years ago.
