Its pretty obvious they want to get rid of as many people as they can before a reform. Their not fooling anyone.

Well at least we know for sure now.

I hate the Oil spill so fucking much.

We had this momentum going on and it all seems to be gone now.

So it is "the window for achieving CIR before 2012 is closing"??????????? So, they will do enforcement for the first 4 years of his presidency, and then try to pass something after 2012.

1) Lots of people will age out of DREAM
2) Even if "deferred" action is granted; it just means that you won't get arrested and handcuffed and physically deported by ICE agents. It doesn't erase your deportation order from the justice department. They are still studying granting "blanket" indefinite deferred action. But if they don't and your deferred action is up in six months or a year, and you HAVE to leave, you are banned for at least 10 years.
3) They cannot be trusted on their word because they have backed out of it year after year, event after event. And I tell you this oil spill isn't being handled at all, and if it doesn't get controlled, Obama is looking at ONE term only. He takes his base for granted. His one term is up and oops, they just couldn't manage to pass reform.

Now, the Democratic party leadership - Reid, Schumer, Durbin, Pelosi, Napolitano- they need to become famous. Really famous. Republican-style famous if you know what I mean. No one in the Spanish language TV media mentions that they are holding CIR hostage and playing along with the White House. The average immigrant and his/her family think lack of immigration reform is the Republicans' fault, but that isn't true when it didn't stop Dems from passing healthcare or financial reform. Where there's a will, there's a way. They simply don't see the urgency of reform. So let's make them famous.

By 2012, there will hardly be anybody left to grant citizenship to. Maybe that is what they are calculating--that the problem will solve itself.

Anyway, this would be such a small and trifling thing to do to demonstrate some sort of sympathy with DREAMers. It is just pathetic.

But this is the record of George W. Obama--or Barack H. Bush?--on immigration reform for the last two years so what else could we have expected?

i hate this fucking idiot now... a puppet just like the rest.

Re: White House: No executive order to halt deportations of students.
 

Even without the oil spill, they would've found something else to blame

It just seems like one thing after another, doesn't it? :mad:
