Obama: Immigration Overhaul Now on Hold

Monday, August 10, 2009 1:55 PM

GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- President Barack Obama says immigration reform is important but says other priorities such as his health care overhaul and financial regulation are going to come first.

Obama said on Monday that he expects to see draft legislation for immigration overhaul by the end of the year. He says he doesn't expect to be able to snap his fingers and change the politically charged immigration system.

Obama expects a fight regardless of his standing in the polls and declares that he is ready for a fight. He says the system is broken and nobody can deny it.

He says, however, that changing the immigration system is going to have to wait until next year while he focuses on other priorities.

Hey Obama WE DON'T WANT ANY STINKING IMMIGRATION REFORM. Just ENFORCE the laws on the books!!!

From what I hear by 2010 his priority will be (or at least ought to be) the crumbling US dollar.

President Obama said today at a presser in Guadalajara, Mexico, that because he has so much on his legislative plate, and it’s important to “sequence these big initiatives in way a there they don’t all just crash at the same time,â€

Hmmm. There was another article today saying he was promising a "draft" of the legislation THIS year.
