Doug Schoen: 'The election for the most part will be about immigration...'

And the Obama administration has "put politics ahead of people, and it's a tragedy."

At 1:00 minute at the clip:



And keep in mind, November elections were already looking bad for the Democrats, but now even mainstream outlets are reporting that the Dems have lost whatever advantage they had on immigration politics. At the Washington Post, "Border crisis scrambling the politics of immigration policy":
Until now, the politics of immigration have been seen as a no-lose proposition for President Obama and the Democrats. If they could get a comprehensive overhaul passed, they would win. And if Republicans blocked it, the GOP would further alienate crucial Hispanic and moderate voters.

But with the current crisis on the Southwest border, where authorities have apprehended tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children since October, that calculus may be shifting.

Republicans and even some Democrats have accused Obama of being insufficiently engaged in a calamity that many say he should have seen coming. And the president’s own party is deeply divided over what must be done now — particularly on the sensitive question of deporting children who have traveled thousands of miles and turned themselves in to U.S. authorities to escape from the desperate situations they faced in countries such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

The emergency has also renewed questions about the administration’s competence, reminiscent of those raised during the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, last year’s botched rollout of the health-care law and more recent revelations of mismanagement that jeopardized care of patients at veterans hospitals.
Oh yeah, baby.

And remember, 3 in 5 support deportation of illegal aliens. It's not looking good for the idiot open-borders Democrat leftists.
