White House press secretary Jay Carney on Monday welcomed an immigration deal reached by a bipartisan group of senators and gave credit to President Obama for pressing the issue.
"I think it's important before we let the moment pass to acknowledge that the progress we're seeing embodied in the priniciples put forward by this bipartisan group is happening for a reason: I think it's happening because consensus is developing in the country, a bipartisan consensus, and it's happening because the president has demonstrated significant leadership on this issue," Carney said.
He said that when immigration reform failed in 2010, Obama continued to press for it, giving speeches repeatedly and putting out a detailed blueprint for reform.
"He made clear in the campaign last year that this would be a top priority of his in a second term, and he is keeping that commitment by pressing forward today," he said.
Carney declined to address a key difference between the White House and the senators' plan, which would allow a path to citizenship only after increased border security. Carney touted the progress the administration has already made on border security and said he did not want to negotiate details when legislation has not been produced yet.

"(ILLEGAL) Immigration 'reform'" let's look to the example of Hispanic immigrants in Compton, California for guidance of what works.. 3 Arrested in Hate Crime Attacks in Compton Three Latino males are alleged to have tried to drive out a black family in Compton, sheriff's officials said
See how the "reformers" like that.
It’s happening because 4 RINO’s sold us out.
That’s why it’s happening.
May their nuts shrivel and die.
Oh Wait. They don’t have any.
The republicans figure they don’t have to face us again for two years and we’ll get over it by then.
Besides, this will be the most important election in our life times and if you don’t vote for republicans then every bad thing that happens is all your fault.

Hey, it worked for the Egyptian Pharaohs...
Boner’s Math:
200 House RATS + 18 House RINOS = Amnesty
What no thanks to the gay lobby of MeCain & Mini-MeCain?
Our Rep is not high on it.
Boner only needs 18 RINOS of out of a total of 233 GOP House members to pass Amnesty.
Only if we allow it.
Identify the RINO rats and begin a grass-roots intense campaign against them now. Put them on the defensive.
I can't describe the digust I feel for McCain and his pandering to "hispanic Americans." Code word for illegal Mexican aliens.
There are Americans, and then there are the hyphenated-rabble that our great leaders of both parties cater to.
It may be worth noting that there are many many more of us Americans who happen to be of Hispanic extraction than "Hispanic-Americans."
Totally absent from the thousands of words of verbal diarrhea of that "press conference" was even a suggestion of HOW the mistakes of 1986 will be prevented and guaranteed. Until that happens, the conservatives and real Americans of both parties are capitulating to this fake, bipartisan fraud, through fatigue, inattention or incompetence.
