WASHINGTON (AP) - Confronting soaring frustration over illegal immigration, President Barack Obama on Wednesday condemned Arizona's crackdown and pushed instead for a federal fix the nation could embrace. He said that will never happen without Republican support, pleading: "I need some help."
In asking anew for an immigration overhaul, Obama showed solidarity with his guest of honor, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona's law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to "criminalize migration." The United States and Mexico share a significant economic and political relationship that stands to be damaged the more the nations are at odds over immigration, which affects millions of people on both sides of the border.

I guess this means Obama would be fine if we rush Canada.
I was always under the impression that it was the job of the president to make sure our borders were secure.
Anyone crossing our borders illegally are a potential threat to this nation. Isn’t the president in charge of providing for the common defense?
Bowrama is an absolute fool! No wonder his daily rating at Rasmussen is now -19. He’ll drop like a rock after this BS!
Really?
And exactly how does el Presidente intend to do that?
Screw you, Calderon. Fix your own country, you lying corruptocrat...
1) Surrender
2) Make 'em all citizens
3) Give 'em lots of stuff
I'm pretty this is the fix he's planning
Obama...Hey Dufus ! Arizona is on the American side of the Border. Duh.
Mexico isn’t the damn 57th State. Mexico is shipping us their Welfare problem and we (Americans) are paying out the wazoo for it.
Shaddup with this BS and enforce tha friggin laws of the Land.
Actually....Uh...why don’t you enforce the Mexican Immigration laws here ? Huh ? Do that one, would ya ?
That’s “pretty sure”
Calderon’s statement is a clear admission that Mexico will not accept limits on immigration. The Democrats are peddling a lie that amnesty will be accompanied by effectively closing the southern border to illegal immigration. Amnesty will be effectively open southern borders. Any attempts to enforce immigration beyond the border will be met with the same derision it now receives. Any immigration law passed now will be a fraud.
Your post nails it...
All the idiot has to do is issue an Exec Order to strike down all laws by states pertaining to immigration, which is a federal mandate BUT the Exalted One doesn't have the bolas to do that!
As for Felipe, he says, "hey gringo what's mine is mine, what's yours is negotiable......"
One of the associated pimps was probably up all night trying to express the thought, without actually saying: “achieving amnesty without causing armed insurrection” and the best s/he could do was: “a federal fix the nation could embrace”.
Why don’t you just enforce the laws already on the books?
Enforce the laws or RESIGN. Soetoro is a pathetic douchebag.
No he is just gathering votes.
“I need some help.”
It’s easy: just ask Calderone how Mexico does it, and adopt their methods. Problem solved!
