Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” when co host Martha Raddatz asked Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) why President Barack Obama won’t wait until the new members of Congress elected in the midterms are sworn in, to use an executive order to grant amnesty to upwards of 5 million illegal immigrants already living in the Untied States, Gutiérrez said it’s because republicans already “poisoned the well,” on immigration by calming ISIS and Ebola are crossing the border.

Gutiérrez said, “We just came from an election cycle in which, not only did they say the border wasn’t secure but that  ISIS is coming through and Ebola is coming through. They mixed all this together and then they say we are poisoning the well.”
