President Barack Obama is set to reject the key compromise at the heart of a bipartisan deal on immigration reform announced by eight Senators yesterday. The president, who will deliver an address later today in Las Vegas, NV outlining his own immigration ideas, is reported to oppose linking a “path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants, a Democrat demand, to stronger law enforcement and better border security, a Republican demand.
The president will apparently argue that the administration has met reasonable goals on enforcing current immigration legislation, and that additional security will merely create new obstacles to legalizing the roughly 12 million illegal immigrants thought to be living in the United States. The federal government accelerated deportations in the first years of the Obama presidency, and sent new personnel to patrol the southwestern border.
However, starting last year, the Obama administration declined to enforce existing law regarding the so-called “Dreamers”--immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children. The election-year move drew praise from Hispanic groups but preempted congressional legislation, and brought criticism from proponents of immigration reform, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who objected to the president’s clear circumvention of Congress.

Waiting for the first Repub rep with cojones to publicly tell the Bat-eared-B**tard to shove it up his smelly personal Obama.

Mr. Obama I’ll see your refusal to enforce present law and raise you one constitutional amendment
Sometimes all you can do is say WTF.
I wonder how Chuckie Cheese is liking it under that bus.
Obama want’s a path to amnesty AND leave the border open.
So, instead of 12 million it will be 16 million!
Why is this “president” even trying to maintain the farce that he cares about proposed legislation? He’ll just continue to enforce or not enforce the laws that he wishes.
The EOOTUS has spoken. Autopen edicts to follow.
reject????
He is FOS, he will sign ANYTHING that gets through the Reid Senate and reaches his desk.
if only it was that easy...
Agreed. We already are a lawless nation. They pick and choose what laws they care to enforce, if at all, how to interpret those laws, and which ones to ignore or outright defy.
Obama is obviously the real Osama bin Laden and he wants his Muslim people to enter and take over the U.S.
...anyone know why he went to Vegas?
Exactly. This is all kabuki theater to make us think that this is really a tough bill that represents conservative principles.
Brer Obama: “Oh, no, Brer Congress!! Don’ throw me in dat brier patch!”
He’s got his orders. His goal is 2014. He has to have in place all those voters for the Democrats by then.
Obama already beginning to whack the America Hater Amnesty RINOs...
If there is Illegal Alien Amnesty....Obama takes credit...if Amnesty fails....Obama blames the GOP. The Liberal RINOs fell right into Obamas trap
Illegal Alien Amnesty is Anti American Bigotry, you stupid RINOs
Works for me. He won’t be there forever. Let him overplay his hand. At some point we get the white House again and he can watch all his illegal family members living here get deported.
Obama went to Vegas because most of the gaming industry and hotels use Illegal Alien labor....and the SEIU has a lot of influence in Vegas
(Note that the GOP Rinos and the SEIU agree on Illegal Alien Amnesty...go back to 2007 & see the photos of McCain with SEIU leaders)
