This is an utter and unbelievable lie.
He and the President aren't serious about this at all. The date keeps getting postponed? The dems haven't delivered on ANY ONE of their promises to the immigrant community. He cannot deliver immigration reform with control of literally the entire government; but we are to believe you that you can accomplish this with even less of your party in charge?????????????????????????????????????????? Then why vote for you at all?
Now it's maybe November. But - hold on to your seat now, don't go anywhere (that's if you don't get deported in the meantime) - then it will be NEXT YEAR. Do we know what other "crisis" the country will have in January 2011? I know! It's the year before the presidential election! Obama cannot possibly look at any immigrant community with a straight face and say that immigration reform is a priority 3 years into his presidency with no date, bill, to even mention to their families.
By the way, Congress goes into recess for a month pretty much the first week of December. They are closed the week of Thanksgiving. .. Which month of the calendar are we missing that would give them the time for debating, amending, reconciling and voting on sweeping legislation for immigration reform? There's not time left in 2010. If something passes, a background check takes on average about 6 months; times millions and millions of people...we could maybe in the next 2-3 years have legal status.
