Obama: Congress May Not Tackle Immigration Soon By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS April 29, 2010
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) -- President Barack Obama said Wednesday that there ''may not be an appetite'' in Congress to deal with immigration immediately after going through a tough legislative year.
With energy legislation on the table and midterm elections approaching, Obama said he didn't want to force an immigration bill through Congress ''just for the sake of politics.'' Still, he said discussions on the issue must move forward in a way that can garner the support of the American people.
''We've gone though a very tough year and I've been working Congress very hard, so I know there may not be an appetite immediately to dive into another controversial issue,'' the president told reporters aboard Air Force One returning with him to Washington from a Midwest trip.
The issue of immigration bubbled to the surface in recent weeks after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a controversial bill into law requiring local and state law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally. The law also makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally.

Revised Headline “Democrats Seek Cover from RINOs”
I’m sure Republicans will be forthcoming with their help. :)
You really nailed that one down!
I’d be surprised if they don’t make a push on immigration, because they know that November is going to be the end of their reign of terror.
Seek Help from Republicans?
I don’t think so!
Correct!
Lindsay Graham-nesty maybe. McCain maybe. If JD wins - I would not be surpised if McCain goes for a sell out. If McCain beats JD - he still might sell America out. I think the rest will not sell America out. Specter might even act like a Repub but I doubt it and ditto Ben Nelson.
President Idiot; just don’t touch it. Anything you touch; you will cause an even bigger problem for our nation.
Go ahead; try and push thru Immigration “Reform” like you did Health Care “Reform”. That will pretty well finish off the DemocRATS in November. Go ahead President Hussein Obama.
Amnesty for the criminal illegal alien infestation here in the u.S. would be candy for the communists that call themselves democrats.
Other items such as crap and tax are a goody for their masters.
The communists may make a feint for the amnesty but my bet is they will be ordered to go for the money. November is going to happen now anyway, and the globalizers will be demanding a return on their investment with the communists.
but immigration ensures that they change the demographics of the country enough to ensure that they are in charge for a very long time, long enough to complete the transformation of society.
Amnesty is a loser, and they are fleeing. We win.
obamy got struck on the back of his hand for his cocky audacity!
Obama: Congress May Not Tackle Immigration Soon; Obummer suspended for 6 games for illegal North Dakota backfield formation
Translation=the DemonCraps are down in the war room right this very minute statagerizing! You better believe it !
Which, of course, translates as "I did, but I didn't think I could pull it off."
ANY republican that helps this antiAmerican marxist should be keelhauled at best or at the least thrown out of the party.
And I’m being very kind cause I think you’d deserve far worse.
Don’t be fooled by the DemonCRAPS!
