Democratic support for immigration reform slips

The Washington Examiner reports:

A poll by the Pew Research Center found that support for comprehensive immigration reform has dropped among Democrats, further explaining why President Obama has delayed any unilateral executive action on the issue until after the upcoming elections. Acting now would not only anger Republicans and turn off moderates, but it also could cause a portion of the Democratic base to stay home.

The poll, released last week, found that Democratic support for a policy that legalizes existing immigrants and increases border security — that is, comprehensive reform — has fallen from 52 percent last year to 45 percent now. Support for a policy that focuses on "creating a way for illegal immigrants already here to become citizens" has risen from 32 percent among Democrats in 2013 to 33 percent now, within the poll's margin of error of 5.2 percent among the Democrats surveyed. But it's down from 38 percent in 2012.

Even some Democrats are sick of the illegals.
