President Obama told an Hispanic audience Wednesday night he will do “everything in my power” to enact the Dream Act, which would prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants studying at American colleges or having served in the military.

And of course he's talking to a Hispanic audience.

“I wish I could wave my magic wand,” Mr. Obama said. “Until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again… At the end of the day, I can’t do this all by myself. We’re going to have to get Congress to act. I know Nancy Pelosi’s ready to act. It’s time to stop playing politics.”
It is clear that Dream Act will not happen in 2011 and 2012.

Of course, he wouldn't even mention one word about immigration to anyone until he lost 60 senators...because if it didn't go through then, everyone would blame democrats.

Now the republicans run half of congress. It doesn't work, blame them. Rinse and repeat.

Although I think Obama is at least making claims,giving us false hope as opposed to saying nothing at all.

True. But, we want to see or hear of political action--not more rhetoric.

Maybe, President Obama is going to exert a tremendous amount of pressure on congress to reach a compromise this year. . . . However, will he be successful? That is the question.

If nothing happens this year, I say that all of us let ourselves be arrested, so we can apply for a work permit because I have a feeling the waiting game is going to continue for a very long time. Can any of you with degrees picture yourself working the same damn crappy job four to five more years??????????????????????????? ABSOLUTELY MIND BOGGLING. MY GOD.
