WASHINGTON President Barack Obama will give a major speech Thursday calling for action to fix America's broken immigration system, though few observers believe any major reform can pass this year.
Obama will speak at American University in Washington in an effort to ignite new momentum behind the massive and politically problematic drive to secure US borders and deal with millions of illegal immigrants.
"He thought this was a good time to talk plainly with the American people about his views on immigration," White House deputy spokesman Bill Burton said on Wednesday.
"He thinks this debate is about accountability -- accountability for securing the border, accountability for employers who are hiring illegal immigrants, and accountability for those who are in this country illegally."
The venue for Thursday's speech is symbolic to Obama. It was at American University in 2008 that he received the endorsement of Democratic icon Senator Edward Kennedy -- which gave a huge boost to his presidential primary campaign.
Kennedy was a long-time advocate of immigration reform, and a dominant player when a comprehensive bill on the issue fell short of passing during president George W. Bush's second term.

This is not going to pass this year.Because its a election year.
Bullocks. Obama wants his 20+ new voters. That is his only motivation. And speaking of accountability, Barack, where is yours in not enforcing the nations laws, to the point Arizona has to do it on their own?
Kennedy was a long-time advocate of immigration reform and perhaps a Soviet spy...
He is contemplating amnesty by executive order.
He will be handing over the House of Representatives and Senate to the Republicans if he does sign one.
I am so excited I may pee all over myself waiting on it.
Actually, he’ll start a new revolutionary war
Its a possibility.
Which 0 is deliberately refusing to do . . .
accountability for employers who are hiring illegal immigrants . . .
What about 'sanctuary cities' which give illegal immigrants refuge? What about the great red state of California and the transient pickers who keep finding work there?
and accountability for those who are in this country illegally."
Well, then -- round 'em up and send them home! Don't play the 'expedited path to citizenship' game. Rescind the anchor baby falsehood.
Unless, of course, all of 0's blather is just deceptive BS, because he wants to 'account' all of them as future dim voters.
sure he doesn’t have a tee time.
Obama’s going to speak ‘plainly’ about ‘immigration reform’? More lies from the thug in the WH. It’s not ‘immigration reform’. It’s what to do with illegal aliens and how to skirt this country’s laws. Use plain English, not euphemisms that puts lipstick on the pig. But Obama wouldn’t know how to speak the plain truth about anything if his life depended on it. He’s a Muslim communist liar. Period.
I’m sure he’ll talk about the 4th of July and independence in his dictate/speech/propaganda.
Chrissy will be all a tingle and Katy will have tears in her eyes....
The rest of us will need boots and a bucket.
They need voters come November 2012.
How about accountability for strictly enforcing existing federal immigration laws.
Morning pissant,
Don’t ya know the secret service is busy as this ass clown continues his efforts to destroy America?
They’ll get voting rights before Nov 2010 to give plenty of insurance to Democrat wins; not that we don’t have enough uninformed, poor judgement, ignorant voters
