Because it takes that long,” former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez said in an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV. “This is a very complex issue. And you’ll recall that in 2006 under President Bush we got very, very close. So, yes, I believe it can be done.”

President Barack Obama first has to declare what he wants from immigration reform.

It's all about political will, which Obama has none of it.
He will play his word of mouth.

If it doesn't happen in 2011, it won't happen until after the 2012 election. And chances of "it" happening in 2011 is very slim.

Mostly, republicans feeling the void that Latino vote used to fill for their party's candidates to win.
But equally unbelievable was Bush's push for CIR starting within first week after his re-election.
So never say never.
