Another lofty speech about nothing. Here, let me write it for the teleprompter right now:
"Let me clear on one thing, and that thing is, that this problem is not going to get better on it's own. We know that. We need solutions not rhetoric. Unity of purpose and not the disunity of hate. People are suffering, both here and in nations that inspire people to make the arduous journey trying to get here. Let me be clear, though those people have broken alleged laws, they are not lawbreakers. Solutions that are necessary must reflect this basic tenet of our national history and our lofty ideals for the global world. We have welcoming arms but know that people are struggling in border states which represent the ideals and character of our nation. Let me be clear, though I inherited this border situation on our borders, I do not intend to let this situation deteriorate further in light of our dreams for our future. I propose this, while we reflect on our national policy of immigration and the prosperity we seek to preserve and expand with an eye our national character and the future going forward..."
You're a natural at crafting nothing-speak. That's right on the money.
In other words, amnesty first.
“Let me be clear, though I inherited this border situation on our borders, I do not intend to let this situation deteriorate further in light of our dreams for our future.”
This statement is a declaration of war on the American people. Obama intends to impose amnesty if a satisfactory bill is not passed. There were rumors that he was going to announce an amnesty in his speech. He has indirectly indicated that he will impose amnesty if legislation does not become enacted in the coming months.
