Dems to Obama: Don't Deport Illegals Now, It's an Election Year

House Democrats are condemning the Obama administration's plan to resume deportations of illegal immigrants who've been denied refugee status – raids the lawmakers worry could negatively impact voting this November.

"This is ill-advised, ill-timed and counterproductive on anything we're talking about in terms of galvanizing our community for the upcoming elections," Arizona Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva tells The Hill.

"When we're trying to distinguish ourselves as being more humane ... and trying to distinguish ourselves from ... the rhetoric and what [Donald] Trump is saying about this issue ... here we are carrying out and proposing to carry out these raids, which I think are a huge mistake."

Argues Illinois Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez, "These are not illegal immigrants."

"These are children, these are people fleeing violence," he tells The Hill. "They are asylum seekers."

Where are all the news stories on all this "violence" in Central America? I haven't heard anything about it. There should be hundreds of such stories with pictures of the battlefields to go with them.

But, no, nothing out there to show us why these illegal immigrants should be sheltered here and not deported.

Call them ANYTHING you like....
Bottom line?
They are here ILLEGALLY, which, I'm pretty sure means they are CRIMINALS.
