In his first major speech on immigration reform since taking office, President Obama called for a "practical, common sense approach" to dealing with one of the highest-voltage third rails in American politics. While thin on specifics, he outlined a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the United States that would include paying a fine, waiting in line behind legal immigrants, and learning to speak English. "The politics of who is and who is not allowed to enter the country, and on what terms, has always been contentious," Obama said at American University's School of International Service.

I should mail your quote to Obama. Apparently he didn't get the memo.

just you tried and that reps are getting in the way and short of a miracle, it isn't happening and that even DREAM will be hard. give it an eulogy and say that we will be back next year to see if it happens.
