Immigration High on Obama's Priority List - Page 2

I just started looking into this bill-- with a justified self interested motive-- does anyone know if Obama has said anything since he won the election? When do you guys think they'll start talking about this?
Thank you! I loved reading your threads, you are very informative.

Obama said he would pass the Dream Act in his first 100 days? Wouldn't that have been posted here or did we miss it? I'm pretty sure we've catalogued the times he's mentioned Dream.

Lets see, there's the Texas Primary debate, that rally in Nevada, and a townhall meeting in some state (probably Nevada). All I remember is something like: We should pass it as quickly as possible or something like that.

Anybody have any youtube videos, website promises, or anything about a 100 day time frame?

I have also heard him say it in Colorado, and other states during townhalls meeting when a question about immigration was asked. He also said it at a CNN debate. I have never heard him say in the first 100 days, but he has always said to he wants to pass it as soon as possible. I was basically a political junkie during the campaign, so I would have remembered if he said it.

Then again, I don't think he has ever said he would do anything in his first 100 days. Candidates don't really make promises that way. They usually say, I will do this, or that should passed urgently. If he said he would do something in his first 100 days, McCain would have said, "He thinks he has already won this." It's just too specific to talk that way. Also if they didn't do it during the 100 days, they would be bashed by some of their supporters, and possible the media if the issue is big enough.

The interesting thing about the dream act is it is one of the few small pieces of legalization that was talked about specifically by Obama, which usually doesn't happen. Candidates usually talk more broadly about issues.

Also, it seems that they want to do something with immigration to show John McCain working with the Obama administration.

^Perhaps there is a way to get in contact with the person who runs DREAM Act Texas and see where she got that information from?

Maybe it was just a mistype.The most we know is that immigration will most likely be taken care of during this Administration,anything else is just speculation or false campaign promises.

I specifically remember Obama saying he will pass the Dream Act in his first 100 days ( he said it about 5 months ago) And people cheered. We just have to wait and see if he does what he said.. he said it before the economic crisis though, so we have to see how much that is factored in.

From time to time since then.. he has said he will make sure that this upcoming generation will all have equal benefits ... ( something along those lines)

which i think includes undocumented but he says it in a roundabout way. He knows how to speak slickly.
