A loss in federal court for President Barack Obama on immigration may be a political win for his Democratic Party.
The administration’s quick decision Tuesday to take the fight to the Supreme Court throws the case into the middle of the 2016 presidential campaign and raises the visibility of an issue that is driving the nation’s growing Latino electorate away from Republicans.
Within hours of the ruling by a federal appeals court, blocking Obama from shielding more than 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation, Democrats laid blame for the country’s tangled immigration laws at the feet of Republicans. If the Supreme Court takes up the case.the battle will stoke resentments among some Latino voters toward billionaire Donald Trump and other Republican presidential candidates who have made anti-immigrant statements in their primary campaigns.
