President Barack Obama on Tuesday pledged to bring his own party along to reform the nation's broken immigration system, pleading with Republicans to join in as the only realistic hope to solve a politically volatile problem.
Obama also offered fresh, stern criticism of a new Arizona law that allows police to question anyone about their immigration status if they have reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. The president said a comprehensive federal immigration effort is needed to prevent "bad laws" like Arizona's.
"I will bring the majority of Democrats to the table in getting this done," Obama said in response to a question at a town hall in south-central Iowa. "But I've got to have some help from the other side."

Exactly so.
“We need a new system” is BS. We have a system. Congress makes law, and the executive branch enforces it. So just shut up and do it.
He didn’t seem to have any use for ‘bipartisinism’ when he stuck it to American taxpayers on the ‘health care reform’!!!
“But I’ve got to have some help from the other side.”
Like Obamacare?
Screw ‘em.
Seal the borders!
Deport ALL illegals!
Pass a tough new immigration law that will severely restrict even legal immigration for Third World countries.
Ban ALL islamic immigration, and find ways to deport as many muslims as possible. islam is not just a religion, but an alien empire bent on world domination.
Support jobs for Americans, and American/Judeo-Christian culture, NOT “multiculturalism” and “open borders”!!!!
"I will bring the majority [of illegal alien] Democrats"
GOOD BYE, AMERICA.......WE HARDLY KNEW YE.
...he addressed blacks, latinos, and women....he didn’t address anyone else.
Once again Hussein will defy the will of the people because he knows best.There’s not a hint of a doubt that he’s willing to be a one-termer.His aim is $$$ (and boy will he have plenty of *that* when he leaves office) and to slash and burn...thus displaying the contempt for this country that was instilled in him by his whore mother,his punk father,Indonesia,Saul Alinsky,Bill Ayers,”Reverend” Wright....
Notice no one seems to be running and managing government.
They pass laws against business and people but there is never any accountability, management or control of government. The most expensive government in the history of the world.
Racial Profiling is OK for Obamas Federal Government Cops
Obamas police force at Customs and Border currently operates dozens of inland traffic checkpoints which stop EVERY vehicle to check for illegal aliens, drugs and illegal weapons.
I have personally been stopped numerous times and asked for my I.D. and purpose of my trip while travelling from McAllen, Tx to Corpus Christi, Tx on Hwy 281 and Hwy 77. Note that at no time did I ever cross the border into Mexico. I was just in McAllen on business.
They also question everyone in the car and racially profile them. Looking Mexican and not speaking English are 2 very important clues that my passenger may not be here legally.
Its time to ask politicians and the media why our local police forces shouldnt have the same power to set up random checkpoints and stop every vehicle and ask the same questions as Obamas police force.
Overturn all he does as soon as he is gone. His time is limited. We need to stall, hamper, and obstruct all that he attempts to do. That which he and his like do pass, we must address after the next election cycle.
Isn’t it bureaucRats and/or the state dept that defines legal immigration? Why are they not doing an end-run (or maybe they are) increasing legal immigration? Seems to me they might try and blur the distinction between illegals and legals.
why not have another summit???? This man is a disgrace and...a joke.
Each day this administration exists, I get a step closer to being a full blown, all out, no holds barred secessionist.
let him call on stupak.
We don’t need new laws, we just need more TRUCKS to drive them over the border where THEY BELONG.
Calling all political ho’s!
