| Despite steep odds, the White House has discussed prospects for reviving a major overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, a commitment that President Obama has postponed once already. Obama took up the issue privately with his staff Monday in a bid to advance a bill through Congress before lawmakers become too distracted by approaching midterm elections. In the session, Obama and members of his Domestic Policy Council outlined ways to resuscitate the effort in a White House meeting with two senators -- Democrat Charles E. Schumer of New York and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina -- who have spent months trying to craft a bill. According to a person familiar with the meeting, the White House may ask Schumer and Graham to at least produce a blueprint that could be turned into legislative language. The basis of a bill would include a path toward citizenship for the 10.8 million people living in the U.S. illegally. Citizenship would not be granted lightly, the White House said. Undocumented workers would need to register, pay taxes and pay a penalty for violating the law. Failure to comply might result in deportation.

OMG, I didn't know it was that high. Time to enforce the laws on the books. Bring our Military home from Iraq and go house to house and Deport them!
“Time to enforce the laws on the books. Bring our Military home from Iraq and go house to house and Deport them! “
One of the insidious parts of this new CIR/ASAP amnesty will call for NO national guard to ever be deployed on the border.
Oooh how harsh!
Let's try this:
Only those who wait their turn, in their country of origin, at the end of a stingy quota line, would be granted citizenship.
Some people here were quick to proclaim the assertion that this is how Obama plans to be re-elected after his Health Care plan is jammed down America.
Maybe they shouldn’t have pulled out the tin foil hats so soon?
To me, it has always been the obvious intended path.
Say hello to 30-40 million Illegal Alien Americans.
Check this report out. Evidently Cornyn is working with Graham/Obama on amnesty.
The immigration reform debate has no doubt been stalled. But there is some behind-the-scenes movement.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he met this week with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. on the issue. “I am interested in some ideas he has. I shared some ideas I have,” Cornyn said.
Schumer has been working with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on coming up with a compromise. Meetings are also ongoing between business and labor leaders.
Reform advocates are furious that Congress and President Obama have done so little to push for change. National Council of La Raza (NLCR) has a new video out urging action. Another Washington rally is also planned for later this month.

Translation: “If I can’t get them damned crackers to worship me, I’ll import some Mexicans, instead.”
One very important point. This push toward citizenship for 20-30 million illegals puts the lie to all those promises about the health care bill NOT providing health care to illegals. Because they won't be 'illegals' anymore. They will be 'landed immigrants' on the path to free stuff.
I guess working on job creation, as he has promised many times, is proving to be too challenging.
McAmnesty may finally have to be put in that straight jacket we have expected him to be carried away in for so long.
Yes, Obummer, bring up your amnesty proposal. Shoot yourself in the other foot. Before the November elections please, and, better yet, before the August primaries.
Excellent pic. Of course we all get b lasted for hating Mexicans etc.
Something NO ONE addresses. How in the heck can these illegals pay these fees and taxes all amnesty plans include?
These people illegally entered because they were broke.
Tehy count on stupid US to educate feed clother and treat medically their millions of kids, both illegal kida and anchor babies.
Where will these illegals get money to pay these fees and taxes?
“I have known Barack Obama since 1986, when we were both community TERRORISTS
Good correction.
“Yes, Obummer, bring up your amnesty proposal. Shoot yourself in the other foot. Before the November elections please, and, better yet, before the August primaries. “
Better than a 2 million dollar donation to J. D. Hayworth.
Idle hands are the devil’s tools seems an appropriate phrase for 0bama.
He is busy at everything other than common sense principles like tax cuts to spur job creation.
Handed off by Bush himself.
Lindsey Graham (R)
John McCain (R)
George Bush (R)
Teddy Kennedy (D)
Charles Schumer (D)
See the pattern here?
The viewpoint expressed in the article in your #37 is that of a race-baiting La Raza pimp.
The jerk seems to believe that because they got here, however illegally, they’re OWED food, housing, medical care, schooling for their niños along with free breakfast and lunch, ad nauseum.
Meanwhile they’ll continue to speak Spanish, denigrate America, wave their Mexican flags, and commit the crimes Americans won’t commit.
They are parasites. Deport them all along with their anchor babies.
