Dem Rep: GOP Only Won Where ‘There’s Not a Large Amount’ of Immigrants

Representative Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) responded to her party’s electoral defeat by claiming that Republicans won where “there’s not a large amount of immigrant people” on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “@This Hour.” 

When Sanchez was asked whether the president should still issue his planned executive order on immigration given the GOP’s victories in the elections, she responded “two years ago when the president won re-election, his policies were on the ballot also, but the Republicans didn’t pay attention to that. All I’ve got to say is that yes, Republicans picked up seats. They picked up seats where there are no real, there’s not a large amount of immigrant people, they don’t understand many times what we’re really talking about with respect to [the] economy, with respect to family.”
