It’s not exactly news that the Obama administration isn’t pushing very hard on immigration reform, but hearing directly from the White House that a comprehensive bill on the subject isn’t likely to happen this year is sure to dismay immigrants’ advocates.
As Roll Call reports, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs acknowledged that despite “the president’s desire for it to happen,” referring to comprehensive immigration reform, “currently where we sit the math makes that real difficult.”
President Obama is scheduled to meet with members of Congress on Thursday to discuss the issue — a meeting immigrant advocates are eagerly billing as the “opening bell” on moving immigration reform forward.
According to Gibbs, though, Obama isn’t planning to ring that bell anytime real soon. Gibbs said Obama hopes that “later this year that we can have the beginning of formal debate on that.”

Which side of the line do you stand on..?
WE HAD ALL BETTER FIND OUR VOICES IN 2009.
Why bother as they already allowed 300.000 illegal alien workers access through the Stimulus bill, thanks to Sen.Harry Reid(D-NV). It's inconceivable that people that we vote into office,would keep on pandering to foreign workers. Americans never asked them to come here, so they are not only violating the law but stealing jobs on an enormous scale. Not just picking fruit, because they have branched out to janitorial work, maintenance, construction and many other higher workplace positions. If our Washington legislators have sufficiently wrenched the carpet from under the American workers feet, you know full well under the cover of darkness to going to slink around like the cockroaches they are and force through a second BLANKET AMNESTY. The 1986 one concocted by Liberal Sen. Ted Kennedy, swore–NO MORE–AMNESTIES? How soon they forget. Just like the forked tongue of House Speaker Pelosi, adjoining others, supposedly supporting E-Verify. Their commitments are like “Will of the Wisps” All the time lying to the American People, as they are already in collusion with anti-sovereignty groups such as the US Chamber of Commerce, ACLU.
These are huge pro-cheap labor organization, who have thrown in their loyalty with the Globalists and open border zealots. They are completely ignored that Another Amnesty, bringing millions more just waiting for the word of it's potential enactment. More waves of millions of indigent labor, families and children looking for a better life on the backs of unaware citizens and green card holders taxpayers. The depth of this impending catastrophe cannot be measured in even more poverty, for the least Unskilled American worker. The great gates will remain open, attributed to this nightmare, unhindered by the National Guard, is the consequences of OVERPOPULATION. It cannot even be imagined the full impact of at least another 150 million mouths to feed in just 40 years, when we already cannot fully give assistance to our own poor? Tell me where is all this money is going to come from, when La Raza demands Health care for the illegal aliens already here and the millions who will suddenly turn up? Certainly not from the new legalized people, because much of their meager wages, will be sent overseas to support the extended families who don't end up being sponsored for an entry visa in the US.
A resounding–NO–to any AMNESTY. Outside of this–NOTHING WILL HAPPEN–EXCEPT ANOTHER PRE-ARRANGED AMNESTY, THAT TAXPAYERS WILL GET THE BILL FOR IN PERPETUITY, IF WE DON'T SPEAK UP? READ ABOUT THE IRREVERSIBLE OVERPOPULATION NIGHTMARE. Digest more of the facts and unbiased truth at NUMBERSUSA

stuugi, everyone who opposes a path to citizenship is a racist neo-Nazi who is spreading hate? You are, of course, dead wrong – while I oppose illegal immigrants and the businesses that hire them, my hate is reserved solely for ignorant idiots like you.

WE DON'T WANT REFORM OF ANY KIND! WE WANT THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS ENFORCED! In other words, NO AMNESTY!
E-Verify in ALL Businesses.
E-Verify in ALL Social Services.
MORE RAIDS! They work!
It's time for ZERO TOLERENCE with these ILLEGAL ALIENS. It's time for them to get back to their own country where they belong. Stop pandering to the ILLEGAL ALIENS and get some laws passed to get rid of them. When you get rid of the ILLEGAL ALIENS, you get rid of all the problems that go with them. THAT IS A FACT!

I want immigration reform.
But at the very moment that useless Harry Reid announced that it would be done this year, I knew that it would be tabled forever.
