In his weekly radio address on Saturday, President Barack Obama said the government shutdown needed to end so Congress could work on comprehensive immigration reform. Obama rejected a House Republican proposal that would have re-opened the government and raised the debt-ceiling for six-weeks in return for an agreement on a "framework" on negotiations on more long-term budgetary issues. He said "this Republican shutdown" had to end "because there is so much else we should be focusing our energies on right now" and cited immigration as one of the things the government had to "fix." "We’ve got to create more jobs, and kids to educate, and an immigration system to fix," Obama said. Obama has recently said that comprehensive immigration reform was his "number-one priority." On Monday, his administration allowed thousands of pro-amnesty protesters to use the National Mall, which was supposed to be closed due to the shutdown, for their rally. The Obama administration has barricaded other open-air spaces like the World War II Memorial.

I don’t know of any Republicans that are against legal immigration. But too often the term legal immigration means legalizing millions of Mexicans (mostly) that are here illegally.
That is true Obama is stabbing us in the front. I meant that the GOP leadership is stabbing us in the back. Everyone on this thread misinterpreted my backstabbing remark. I just think that maybe (just maybe) the GOP leaership will stop promoteing amnesty just to keepus peasants from revolting.
That already happened 4 years go.
Obama backstabbings are now into double digits.
No, Rand Paul does.
He is trying to cozy up to Ryan, who probably is unaware of what is happening.
OH, VA, AND KY people sure send poor “leaders” to DC.
They can’t pass amnesty if the Republicans keep the shutdown going? And ObamaCAIR stays unfunded?
It’s a deal.
Don’t leave out my home state. Unfortunately, we Tennesseans are
contributing to the DC RINO’s, as well with Corker and Alexander..
