its important to sequence these big initiatives in a way that they don’t all CRASH at the same time
ABC News ^ | August 10, 2009 | Sunlen Miller

THIS is an actual quote of Obama last week in Mexico.

(NOTE: this is quickly being scrubbed from all sites by the obamanation disappearing-info. team.)

President Obama said today at a presser in Guadalajara, Mexico, that because he has so much on his legislative plate, and it’s important to “sequence these big initiatives in way a there they don’t all just crash at the same time,” that immigration reform will have to wait next year, yet movement will start rolling in the fall session of Congress this year.

Ticking though the still-outstanding legislation yet to get passed this year – health care, energy and, financial regulatory reform - Obama said immigration will be addressed, but not just yet.

“Am I going to be able to snap my fingers and get this done? No. This is going to be difficult," said the president. "It's going to require bipartisan cooperation. There are going to be demagogues out there who try to suggest that any form of pathway for legalization for those who are already in the United States is unacceptable. And those are fights that I'd have to have if my poll numbers are at 70 or if my poll numbers are at 40. That's just the nature of the U.S. immigration debate.”

I think a 40 approval rating is a good one to aim for - I’ll be glad to help any way I can!

Here's a pathway for the illegals.

They can go to the end of the line and wait their turn back in their country of origin.

“...all crash at the same time...” indeed.

Maybe he could do a stimulus bill for Mexico, and print up a million of those 1,000 dollar bills with his picture on it.that would keep Mexicans in Mexico

I don’t know...sounds to me like he just meant to say “in a way where they don’t all crash into each other at the same time”

There are some vital US Industries that need the stimulus of a comprehensive immigration package. This package would include stimuli for:

1. The Bus Industry, Greyhound, Trailways and the like. It would be a big boon to be picking up passengers from the upper 57 states, and bringing them South... WAY South, no need to just stop in Mexico.

2. Luggage Industry needs a big pickup: luggage of all sizes, duffle bag industry, shipping trunk industry, backpack industry. These folks have accumulated ALOT of stuff over the years.

3. Map Industry. No need to waste ink in printing up maps, though. Ink can be saved by not printing East-West roads. Only print half of each North-South line... just the South-bound side need appear.

IMO, it was a freudian slip... the thing he was trying NOT to say.... I’ve done that before and could not believe that I said what I had said when it was the one thing I did not intend to say!

Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower sent illegals AND Legals packing in order to make jobs available for US Citizens and for returning Military.

0bama is a gutless jellyfish and not emotionally stable enough to be a CiC or to give a d@mn about the Military, much less about the ordinary US Citizen.

Obama’s speech to La Raza:

(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S.
Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )
Obama pimps illegal aliens. Shameful, considering the additional violent crime, third word diseases they bring into this country and the billions of dollars it cost us to take care of them.
SHAMEFUL!

“I walked the walk. I talked the talk. I marched with you for “civil rights” of “immigrants”. (!!)
SHAMEFUL!

Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t seen since the struggle for civil rights.”
SHAMEFUL!

Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!
SHAMEFUL!

Omama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states.
SHAMEFUL!

The Heritage Foundation ^ | 10/25/06 | Robert Rector
The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that each immigrant without a high school degree will cost U.S. taxpayers, on average, $89,000 over the course of his or her lifetime.[3] This is a net cost above the value of any taxes the immi*grant will pay and does not include the cost of educating the immigrant’s children, which U.S. taxpayers would also heavily subsidize. In this way, the roughly six million legal immigrants without a high school diploma will impose a net cost of around a half-trillion dollars on U.S. taxpayers over their lifetimes
