But remember, he never really wanted to be POTUS anyway!
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
Critics point to the lessons from the last time Congress tackled his issue, the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), a 1986 law that legalized 3 million undocumented immigrants. Both sides acknowledge the law produced substantial fraud, leading to nearly triple the number of new residents created by the law.

There are jobs out there, but, someone people are too good to be Dishwashers and Toilet cleaners....
"I don't want it but you can't have it!"
There are 11 million undocumented people living in the US. But under President Obama's immigration reform plan, they could soon be on their way to becoming American citizens. They'd have to meet some guidelines first: pass background checks, pay back taxes and fines, and learn English.

Now.. i have a thing for those people that work then run away. Screw smugglers.
People i prefer are the ones that want to get citizenship and become part of the country.

I was raised in a home and neighborhood where most people didn't speak English.
But they were here legally. That is a big issue for me.

I've told several people, "You will not recognize this country in 4 years".
Obama is going to pull out all the stops in his 2nd term, public dissent be damned. When the SHTF, I hope the ones who voted for him are happy.

This should be a problem for most a people in a country who can not communicate with each other is doomed to fail.
