Deferring Obama's immigration decision. From Mike Allen. ---------------------------------- INSIDE THE WEST WING -- "White House strife stalls Obama immigration plans," by POLITICO's Carrie Budoff Brown: "[W]hichever choice [White House officials] make could be tagged as the reason that Democrats lost the Senate. ... With the most endangered Senate Democrats faring better than expected heading into Labor Day, each option carries risks that could shake up the political environment ... creating a September or October surprise. A major announcement before the election could excite the beleaguered progressive base, particularly in Colorado, where Democratic Sen. Mark Udall is locked in a tight race despite the state's Democratic leanings. "But it could hurt Democrats in the four most competitive Senate races. In Arkansas, Alaska, Louisiana and North Carolina, Latinos comprise only a fraction of the voting population and the Democratic incumbents want the president to disappear for the next two months. ... The substance of the executive action isn't much in doubt. Most observers expect Obama to defer deportations for millions of undocumented immigrants who have family ties and years in the country." politi.co
