Half-Hearted Immigration Reform

Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 12:37 PM

Cap and trade. Health care. The Supreme Court. The economy. Now, Obama is trying to put immigration at the front of his agenda. A "bipartisan" group of legislators is meeting at the White House today to discuss what, if anything, can be done on this issue. At first glance, the effort seems a little dishonest.

The meeting has been delayed twice, and the White House is trying to downplay it because they know that reaching a consensus is going to be difficult. The President hasn't proposed any new solutions to the immigration problem, and hasn't indicated that he'll come out with anything new today, either. Solving the problem is going to cost a ton of dough, and Obama is already bankrupting the American taxpayer with his litany of other money-sucking proposals. Politically, the need for immigration reform isn't as pressing, since he's got the Hispanic vote covered with the Sotomayor nomination.

And he's just got too much else on his plate. Throwing spaghetti against a wall might cause some of it to stick, but it's more likely to just fall in a big mess on the floor.

Soros sent him an e-mail
Time to throw immigration out there. Keep those fools confused. No wonder he needs the blackberrry all the time. Soros needs to give him instructions on an hourly basis.

Has to move now
Because, in 2010, he'll have maybe six Dumbocrats left, between the House and Senate.

gee. he's either too relaxed or too
much on his plate? Which is it folks? Oh, I know, it is whatever you think gets you votes. Bush and McCain had their immigration plan and you all pushed back and ended it. and Retired Lady, with all due respect, most of those who actually know about diplomacy (like Kissinger and even Pat Buchanan) believe that Obama is playing this just right. Of course you have to say what you say because you wake up every morning with a throbbing headache that screams "a black guy is our POTUS--No! It had to be a nightmare!". and then you have to make up bad stuff about him.

Could it be rather another
problem thrown out in order to obscure his complete and total lack of success on the foreign diplomacy level? So far the only solution this clown has come up with is spend, spend, spend, and spend! What exactly is broken about immigration? Isn't it really illegal entry into that is the crux of the problem? Of course does this clown understand that?
