There is no doubt about it: The rout of the
Democratic Party this week has taken the wind out of any impending
executive action on immigration that President Obama might have had
in mind. He got his ass handed to him by voters and it would seem
like insanity to ignore their verdict and unilaterally push
something this controversial.
Even Vox’s Ezra Klein, no foe of immigration reform, openly
ridiculed White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest’s reassurance
that President Obama would go forward with his executive action,
sort of urging him to give it up.
But that would be political suicide for the Democratic Party in
2016, notes Reason Foundation Senior Analyst Shikha Dalmia.
