How convenient that an immigration"blueprint" is released just two days before massive pro-immigration reform demonstrations...my,my what a coincidence!

A bill has to be debated in the next two months MAXIMUM otherwise it is not going to pass. And I assumed that most people who post here were well past the age of 18; I cannot believe that most of you don't see that the president isn't into CIR at all. Does that mean that activists should not keep pushing? Absolutely not. When Obama talks about CIR there's no interest, much less enthusiasm; we can all see that he's being forced to consider doing something about it. How sad and deceptive.

This 26-page "outline" spends its first 18 pages talking about enforcement; additional ICE work-site raids and deportations; barely mentions DREAM act; and it all honesty it is a Republican blueprint. Go back and read in THOMAS the CIR versions of 2006 and 2007 and they are far, far more progressive than this. Until a CIR bill is signed, sealed and delivered, we cannot assume anything, hope for something and believe everything these politicians say. The fact that every 20 min. a new article is published either in favor or against CIR with official 'quotes' from elected officials is the media's way of showing just how dishonest this Congress and Administration are.
