Senator Barack Obama told us in an interview that he would present a comprehensive immigration reform to congress during the first year. Could you match that?

-Sure, I would do it in the first day, but I was the one who led, I was the one who led with Senator (Ted) Kennedy, a great political risk to myself. Senator Obama tried to kill it, because he was doing what the unions wanted. The unions in America do not want a temporary worker program, so Senator Obama came to the floor and had an amendment that would have basically killed immigration reform, because it was a fragile coalition between republicans and democrats. So, don't let Senator Obama get away with saying that he supports comprehensive reform, when he tried to kill it.
I don't even believe what he says anymore.

I would suggest strongly that any of you who are doing work on the ground in Florida hammer this home - and stress this to the Obama campaign.
There are real reasons why Hispanics/Latinos are supporting Barack: his support for the Dream Act, real immigration reform, support of bi-lingual education, and his compassion for those divided from family and their roots.
I hope this was a useful window into what McCain is saying to Hispanics.
I like how people are making the distinction between the dream act and immigration reform, let's just work on getting Barack elected and maybe we can garner a lot of progressive support for the passage of the dream act next year.

How could McCain support the immigration bill when he said he would vote against his own bill? What will McCain's new "enforcement first" immigration bill look like?

he basically sold his soul to the devil to try to win this election. he sold his integrity and his credibility just to win.

and that makes me really sad because i respect him as a person, but i hate him as a politician.
