Obama: End Shutdown So We Can Pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform (double backstab?)
Brietbart ^ | 10/12/212 | Tony Lee

Posted on 10/12/2013 2:19:42 PM PDT by amnestynone

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.

Would they dare stab us in the back twice?

That already happened 4 years go.
Obama backstabbings are now into double digits.

How more comprehensive could it be than to place a moratorium on all immigration until the US can stop borrowing money from foreign countries to take care of the citizens now inhabiting America? Overhaul of our immigration laws and policies is the key to cleaning up a lot of the corruption that has saturated our political parties. The Obamacare takeover of our health care system is another magnet which will be used to bring in more fraudulent votes for the traitors now in control of this Republic. Not a lot of upside to giving Obama more leverage to use against the citizens of this country.

He is trying to cozy up to Ryan, who probably is unaware of what is happening.

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..
