President Obama on Saturday urged the GOP-led House to act this summer on immigration reform following Senate passage of a sweeping measure two days ago, declaring, now is the time.
I do urge the House to try and get this done before the August recess. There is more than enough time, Obama said in South Africa, his latest stop on a week-long trip through Africa.
This thing has been debated amply, and they have got a bunch of weeks to get it done. Now is the time, Obama added during a joint press conference with President Jacob Zuma.
I have called both Speaker Boehner and [Democratic] Leader Pelosi and encouraged them to find a path to get this done, and the framework that the Senate has set up is a sound framework, Obama said.
I like that idea. It’s time that we hold government responsible for this mess. They are responsible for protecting our borders. They pass laws that are not enforced and when a state tries to enforce then the DOJ harasses them.
The same could apply to countless other problems.
Paul Ryan is pushing this
Ingraham to Ryan: Why Are You Pushing a Bill the CBO Says Drives Down Wages?
...If the amnesty happens, those people are going to be able to compete across every job line, across every employment sector, she said.How does flooding the marketplace with more laborers to compete across every workplace environment how is that good for the American middle class?
Ryan didnt respond directly to the charge, but said he had real concerns with the Gangs bill that hes confident the House can address. In fact, he said, Were not going to vote on the Senate bill. Were doing it our own way on a separate track, and we are being very methodical about this . . . We know where the Senate bill has failed. We have an obligation to fix it in the House.
...sounds like he is scoldingly talking to children..
He wants enough time to relocate the new Americans to red states before the 2014 election.
Would he come back from a vacation to sign it?
A bunch of weeks to do some stuff. That’s how it usually comes out.
NOTE also, beloved media legend Bob Woodward said, when you pass complicated legislation and no one has really read the bill then the outcome is absurd.
Sounds like satire material to me.
I hope Boehner told him to shove it.
Third time was the charm.
Yes, I believe we can win this fight.
Obama lost on the sequester, and was made out to look the fool. Boehner DID best him on that issue, and Americans are NOT demanding amnesty.
Call me a Polly Anna, but this is better for us than the picture the media paints.
We talk about NOT believing the liberal media all the time, but do we PRACTICE what we talk about?
More coffee always helps.

When will the GOP-led House press the usurper to shut up?
YES SIR!
Right away SIR!
The shifty eyed Weeper will screw us. Count on it.
The Teleprompter was re-programmed for the trip to Africa.
Debated amply ? By people who claimed they had not read it all yet.
