I can't vote; but they will and they have made it very clear that if the Democrats don't man up on immigration as well as other things, it's bye bye. As do millions of mixed-status Asian families, and Caribbean families, and Muslim families. I do blame Obama; it's my opinion.

but you can't honestly blame Obama. You can't also ask for papers or ask for legalization when you don't know the basics of how politics work in Washington. If we lived in a country where the executive could just wave his hand and decree stuff into law then yeah, blame Obama-but this is not so; we have three branches and of the three the legislature is the most inefficient. Don't blame the Dems as a whole who have been trying to pass health reform since last year, blame special interest groups who are doing everything to make sure Obama and the Dems fail, blame republican obstructionism, blame the media for not giving immigration the attention it deserves. So to assign all the blame solely on Obama is just ludicrous.
