Upchuck would be leading the charge if a Republican president even contemplated acting in such a lawless manner.

Via Politico:

President Barack Obama should stop deporting people who would be eligible to remain in the country under the Senate’s immigration bill if the House doesn’t act by September, Sen. Chuck Schumer said Thursday.

“We remain focused on passing a balanced immigration bill that secures our borders and fixes a broken system,” the New York Democrat said in a statement to POLITICO. “But if the House recesses in September without passing immigration reform, in October the administration should stop deporting hard-working and law-abiding people who would be covered by the Senate bill.”

Schumer’s comments make him the third member this week of the Senate’s Gang of Eight to call for Obama to do something to stop the pace of deportations. Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) made similar comments Tuesday and Wednesday.

His remarks represent the latest victory for anti-deportation forces, who have gained substantial momentum in recent days and weeks.
