Rahm Emanuel no friend on immigration

Quote:

San Diego, California (CNN) -- Here's something liberals and conservatives have in common: It may soon be the case that neither camp will have Rahm Emanuel to kick around anymore. Now it's time to give Chicago, Illinois, voters a chance to do some kicking of their own.

We can start with those Chicagoans who support immigration reform and believe that both Congress and the Obama administration should be ashamed for putting off a tough debate for the sake of politics.

These folks might soon have a chance to channel that anger at a Washington insider who those closest to the immigration debate have always seen as one of the main obstacles to reform --Emanuel.

That is, if there is any truth to what various news outlets are reporting this week -- that the White House chief of staff will soon resign and head home to Chicago to run for mayor. If he does, the immigration issue will be waiting to greet him.

That will be especially true if Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez, perhaps the most outspoken supporter of comprehensive immigration reform in Congress, also jumps into the mayor's race. This is a real possibility, and, if it happens, we can expect fireworks: Gutierrez has never been shy about blasting Emanuel over immigration reform.

I liked Rahm Emanuel but I shake my head at him on the topic of immigration.

Well like they say everything comes back and bites you in the ass. Being the mayor of Chicago is his dream job, man i wish it gets derailed lets see how he likes obstruction. In many ways i think Navarrette is right Obama did betray the people when it comes to immigration, too bad i donated my time to his campaign effort, never again.
