President Obama was asked by Univision about his El Paso speech on immigration reform, and the reaction of critics who called it just campaign rhetoric. Here's his answer: "Well I don't know how they can call it campaign rhetoric I've been talking about this since the day after I was elected the first time in 2008. I've been pushing for immigration reform for the past two and a half years. I gave a speech in October of last year about why we needed to get immigration reform done. I was a champion of getting the Dream Act done and made multiple calls to members of congress and we were able to pass it out of the House and almost passed it out of the Senate during the lame-duck session. So I have been consistent in pushing to get this done. "

How can he seriously say he has been pushing for immigration reform for the past two and a half years?

Like it or not, this country is going through a lot of things that are more important than an immigration reform that he also has to deal with. That's what people don't seem to understand. He didn't lie when he said he wanted one and that he was going to push for it but he also has to worry about a million other things. Also, it's not like he has all the power, he can't just conjure an immigration reform proposal that will satisfy both sides. There will always be disagreements between Democrats and Republicans, it is extremely hard to please both sides at the same time.

Some people in here don't seem to understand anything!! When someone is trying to help out they wantit done RIGHT NOW!! WE DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO DEMAND ANYTHING REALLY!!!! We are lucky Obama has a heart and a brain. I wonder if it ever gets done all the ppl with their F Obama messages on here would take it back/ or would they be soo happy they don't even bother. He is ding all he can do within legal rights. He cant just sing something and say this is law. Both sides has to agree. This thing is delicate. It's not going to fix cause some young undocumented ppl say f u obama. How mature? Some of them boast to be educated I think they dropped out and gave up and now sitting around cussin the ppl who are trying to help.

How dare he put himself on the same level as Durbin and call himself a champion of the Dream Act. He promotes immigration reform/DA issue when it comes time to rally in more Latino vote, I m afraid this will not fly again Mr. Obama. Latinos are watching every move you make.

You mean like the whole Osama bin Laden fiasco? If you are referring to that, I think that is nothing greater than immigration issue. Now if you are talking about the raising the debt ceiling, I agree. Raising the debt ceiling issue will in fact make immigration reform just another shadow behind it, nothing else.
