President Obama hopes to rally new momentum behind the push for an immigration overhaul by explaining why he thinks a comprehensive approach is the only way to fix what he and others say is a system badly in need of repair.

Obama has said a comprehensive solution means "accountability for everybody" — from the U.S. government meeting its obligation to secure the border, to businesses facing the consequences of knowingly employing illegal immigrants, to those who enter the country illegally owning up to their actions before they can begin the process of becoming citizens.

amnesty.

Agenda before party, party before everything else.

People who have gamed the system and are here illegally don’t deserve to become citizens of our country. They should be deported en masse back to their home craphole countries.

"accountability for everybody"

Translation:

accountability for nobody

[Jeff Head]

What Obama is going to find is that it is we the People who are the source of authority & existence of the Federal Government. We are the employers, & hold hire & fire authority. In November, & in 2012, we’ll exercise that authority & fire a large number of slackards, liars, frauds, hooligans, & others (like Obama himself), who have actively conspired against us & our fundamental, underlying principles & Constitution.

Full ahead, on stupid.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

This is why John Kyl has become a major source of irritation to the White House. He has blown their cover of “bi-partisanship” on illegal immigration. NOW Obama knows he is even more suspect.

Eighty percent don't want citizenship. They couldn't care less about it. They want the under the table money to send home to build their dream house in a third world toilet.

those who enter the country illegally owning up to their actions before they can begin the process of becoming citizens.

What a farce, and what a liar (and far from the only one). "Owning up to their actions" means leaving the country and returning to the country of their citizenship. The last thing Obama wants is for the illegals to own up to their actions. He wants to buy their loyalty and votes with the grand prize millions around the world would like to have: US citizenship.

All we need to do is to enforce the laws already on the books.
You can't fix broken laws and lax policies with more of the same.

[ltc8k6]

It’s a bad time to be talking about immigration, imo.

Obama has no common sense at all.

A “no leaf clover” sort of guy...

DumBO will deliver his Emancipation Participation to every illegal who shows up at a polling station and registers as a Bolshecrat.

“...U.S. government meeting its obligation to secure the border...”

Right you are. So do it.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Republicans should agree to negotiate with the whiny little b!tch. Their only prerequisites should be the following:

1. Any person now in this country illegally will never be eligible for citizenship under any circumstances.
2. All persons now in this country illegally will receive a single work visa that expires in exactly one year. These visas may NOT be extended. Recipients are NOT eligible for new visas.
3. Companies found employing ineligible workers will be fined $50,000 per employee.
4. Non-citizens are NOT permitted government support payments of any kind under any circumstances.
5. Only American citizens can vote.

The kenyan's "CASE", is to get them in here, and legalize them before the election.

That's it, pure and simple.

He wants amnesty first, and then "promises" to seal the border...and when has he kept any promise he made? When has his mouth even opened without spewing out lie, after lie, after lie.

He hasn't finished 'socializing' us yet, so he desperately needs to keep the "majority" in Congress...that is why he is doing another "rush job" on us to get these people in here, legalized and REGISTERED TO VOTE before November.

And, as soon as the rest of the Mexicans see "free amnesty" going on - WITH THE BORDERS STILL OPEN - well, anyone can see what would happen...most of the Mexican population would be up here to become instant citizens.

The bottom line is, the only thing obama cares about latinos is, a vote. They are only more of his "means to an end"...and if they think he gives a damn about them otherwise, then they need to pay closer attention to his ACTIONS.

This crap has GOT to stop.

Obama and comprehensive solution do mix never has worked yet what a born loser.
