Hopes dashed once more for DREAMers

[Lazie]

Blame the families and friends that were too upset with the President to go out and vote. The boss did his best .... next time mek sure the families and friends get off their asses and go vote Democrat.

Obama surely knew that the immigration executive orders he issued in November would infuriate Republicans. He could have sent the same proposal up to Capitol Hill as a bill: legal status rather than citizenship for some but not all of those here illegally. That might just have passed if it had come up for a vote last year.

But that would have taken immigration off the table as a wedge issue, leveling the playing field between Republicans and Democrats. So instead, the president acted unilaterally, knowing the GOP would see that as a brazen abuse of authority — a violation the party had to fight, no matter what the consequences.

WHAT???........You seriously want the president to draft an immigration bill & send to congress???........I guarantee you that bill would be dead before it left Pennsylvania Avenue......Have you forgotten that their was a bi-partisan bill, that the senate & president favored, but the speaker & most of the republicans, in congress, refused to put it to a vote......Now you have more republicans, & that's more crazies.

The TPP is the only thing they will support the president on, & nobody with sense would support that, thinking it would be good for American jobs & business.
