Rep. Luis Gutierrez on Wednesday accused President Obama of abandoning the Democratic Party on immigration by ordering raids on illegal immigrants over the holidays, and said that tactic is something Democrats have come to expect from Republicans.
“This is not the Democratic Party’s solution to the immigration question, nor should it be America’s,” the Illinois Democrat said on the House floor Wednesday. “We expect heated calls for raids and deportations from the other side.”
