Obama pushes immigration reform at holiday event

ASSOCIATED PRESS

May 5, 2011, 7:58PM

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says it will take changing minds, hearts and votes to fix a broken immigration system.

He also told a crowd at a Cinco de Mayo reception at the White House that their help will be needed to make it happen.

Obama recently embarked on a new push to overhaul the U.S. immigration system, despite little enthusiasm for it on Capitol Hill. He has held several meetings in recent weeks with advocates and elected officials, including members of Congress.

But Obama also has asked those he has met with to help win the bipartisan support it would take to get a bill he could sign.

Obama plans to visit El Paso, on the U.S.-Mexico border, Tuesday.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

They had Corona's here for half price last night along with a bunch of free Mex food. I'm not a Corona drinker but for that price I put down at least a half rack before we split. They had these chicken wings marinated in 1800 tequila and Roses lime juice.

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

Obama is a politician. At the NRA meeting, he'll tell you that he collects guns. When visiting the common folks, he eats burgers and fries and tells you that this is his favorite food that his mommy always made him. At the meeting with the Hispanic folks he tells you that he loves Mexico and always wanted a Chihuahua.

It's all smoke and mirrors. Obama deports more people than any other President since FDR.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Which really isn't saying much, is it? :no:
