Latinos as a group also prioritize the economy right now so there is reduced salience for Obama to take immediate action. Also, this is such a divisive issue and addressing it so soon might reduce the bipartisan support obama wants so much.

I don't want to be a downer but I just want to know if its really realistic to expect him to take the immediate action we all want, like BAMN calling for it to be enacted within the first 100 days.
