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.

” Obama to speak” that is all he does.My Mother in Law, an old Floridian, used to call this type of person” Big talk, Little Do.” Obama is not stupid enough to issue a blanket amnesty, unless he wants the American People to finish what the Brits starter ie Burning the White House down around his ears.

When he "Focused like a laser beam" on the Gulf spill the numbers of gallons increased almost every day, can we expect the same with illegal immigrants?

I am just asking......

Don’t ya know the secret service is busy as this ass clown continues his efforts to destroy America?

In 1963 the SECRET SERVICE was busy in their part of the assassination of JFK. Of course we now know it was LBJ and Hoover at the top of the coup that killed Kennedy but the SECRET SERVICE played a minor role by comparison to Hoover and LBJ.

I personnally don't think the SECRET SERVICE could pull it off without strong help from the next President and Biden (alias BITE ME) is not up to supporting a coup much less leading it like LBJ did.

As we saw in 1963 the assassination is the easy part, the cover up, altering of evidence and manipulation of the investigations takes someone like Hoover which is really difficult. The machinery to tell lie after lie is already in place in Washington, DC.

He’s going to try to do an end-run around congress with blanket amnesty and Executive Orders.

Both are things that he wants, both are things that promote his anti-capitalist, anti-white, anti-America agenda, so the answer is obviously "yes".

“He’s going to try to do an end-run around congress with blanket amnesty and Executive Orders.”

I almost hope he tries that. This would kill the demo party for decades - provided all the facts get to the american public. Now if he shuts down the internet in conjunction, well.... that would be quite a bit of gasoline on the fire wouldn’t it.
Every move he makes encourages lawlessness on someone’s part.

My sentiments exactly; FUBO.

[patriot08]

Nobody has had the guts to stop his distruction so far.
What makes you think he’ll be stopped here?

[ncfool]

He is going to anounce all Illegals are going to become citizens with immediate voting rights as the Rats need the votes this November and November 2012.

Welcome to Obamaville, USSA.

[ncfool]

But Hillery and Slick Willie are the see 2012 with anticipation. Hillery resigns early 2011.

[Diogenesis]

In the absence of a real birth certificate,
no one should ever use the words 'accountability'
and "Obama" in the same sentence.

[MNDude]

Is the speech really major if he gives so many?

He is contemplating amnesty by executive order.

He thinks of it as Emancipation Proclamation II.

I see this as extortion...like turning off the water to CA farmers. He offered to turn the water back on a little bit if the Californians voted the way he wanted.
