They better press him for deffered action for dream beneficiaries.

hmmm......

How do we get this message into that meeting?
Dear President Obama,
Many presidents have been faced with great challenges throughout American history. Some have been at the forefront of courageous decisions that defined them as a great president.
Since George Washington presidents have used Executive Orders to correct an injustice
In 1862 President Lincoln by Executive Order suspended the writ of habeas corpus and issued the Emancipation Proclamation .
President Truman by Executive Order integrated the armed forces of the United States.
President Eisenhower by Executive Order desegregated schools.
President Kennedy and President Johnson by Executive Order barred racial discrimination in federal housing, hiring and contracting.
Mr. President you have the will of the House of Representatives and the majority vote in the United States Senate to correct an injustice to children who were brought to the United States without their consent and were raised here as loyal patriotic Americans. In a sense they are American refugees.
These great Presidents could no longer stand on the side lines and tolerate the injustices and suffering of so many people.
Mr. President find it in your heart and ask God for the wisdom and justice that you may have the courage by Executive Order to implement the will of the United States House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States. Grant a temporary status for children with college degrees or willing to serve in the United States military.
Sincerely,
Children who grew up loving the United States of America

They are probably going to have a good time in the meeting. Coffee and Donuts. That's all.
I wouldn't get my hopes up because of this news, since I don't have room for any more disappointment in life.

Only think obama can do is using his EO and i dont think he would do that, or they might be planing for next CIR Next yr but other then that i dont even think dream act has chance as standalone bill atlest for next 2 to 3 yrs.

he will never do an EO, i woul stop dreaming about that(sorry), but be realistic they don't have to offer us any help, also this is an opporunity not a necessity, that's just how i view it. they are doing something for us, even though they dont have to, and you want the president to use and eo. it doesnt seem right.

I disagree with you very strongly because the will of the United States Congress wants the Dream Act. If they had not voted for it then you are right. Obama would only be enforcing the will of his own Congress. I am not saying he will do it. I am saying there is a good case for him to do it and it does not hurt anyone to encourage him to have courage. This is a necessity its about human civil rights. The slaves were not citizens but eventually they got their rights and it took several Executive Orders to advance those rights. Good idea to stop thinking for Obama and let him do his own thinking.

he won't do EO. All democrate are pussy. He is biggest of all pussy. he probably ducks everything someone mention word republican....

I think we should all stop being very naive. Don't you see the trend here? Whenever immigration seems dead, there's always these "meetings" to make the public think that they care about the issue. Clearly Dream Act is dead for god knows how long and clearly prospects for CIR look very grim as republicans will be taking over. Republicans are invincible...They're having their way even when the President is a democrat. What's the difference now between Obama and Bush? They're both puppets.

Obama would be impeached if he used the EO giving non citizens citizenship in the middle of a recession especially with this new house coming up 1/5/11 it would be there first action guranteed. He is probaly apologizing again or he is telling the same line of crap he has been feeding them all along. This is all about the economy on the first hand then about hostility.
