Obama to push immigration reform 'day after' budget deal
The Hill ^ | 10/15/13 | Justin Sink

Posted on 10/16/2013 3:54:00 AM PDT by jimbo123

President Obama vowed Tuesday that he would pursue an immigration reform vote in the House the "day after" Congress reached an agreement to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.

"Once that’s done, you know, the day after -- I’m going to be pushing to say, call a vote on immigration reform," Obama told Univision's Los Angeles affiliate. "And if I have to join with other advocates and continue to speak out on that, and keep pushing, I’m going to do so because I think it’s really important for the country. And now is the time to do it."

He must be bored or trying to bring his ratings up - an interview w WABC in NY (IIRC) yesterday and Univision.
If they aired during the day the non-47% didn’t see it as we were working. That said, I flip channels when he’s on, so wouldn’t have seen/heard it anyway.

RE :”Obama to push immigration reform ‘day after’ budget deal”

He has to try to do that. Time is running out to get a bill that both houses agree on. Holidays coming fast.

House member Lou Gomert R-Texas was on Kelly File (FNC) last night and she asked him if he understood that the House would probably pass a Senate CR that didnt have anything that House Republicans wanted put in it (no Vitter Amendment ) , after the failure to agree on an alternative house bill last night,

Lou responded that the shutdown put off the House working on immigration reform(volley of bills I assume), as a good thing.

It sure looks like the plan is unfolding. Our spoiled brat president is willing to collapse the country. If he can be stopped by congress I think he will resign and prefer a golf retirement in Hawaii. Biden becomes president, Biden appoints Hillary as VP. Ensuring her viability for 2016. Biden wanted an early taste so he got to vacation at Camp David with all his family.

I cannot believe what I heard from bill Bennett and savage instructing their audience. Bennett said yesterday it was crazy (crazy) to oppose McCain, as he’s on our side

Bill Bennett led a government agency that many conservatives believe is unconstitutional. While he's got a big conservative reputation, I don't take him seriously when he talks about the big picture.

Given how this SOB has treated Congress the last month regarding the budget CR and debt ceiling, he should be rewarding with no immigration reform whatsoever.

He comes out with statements that are jaw dropping for any American, much less someone who calls himself conservative.

Drug czar, right.

His opposition is pathetic. And anyone who does oppose him gets maligned by everyone, including, most notably, people who claim to be on the side of the opposition ( ‘conservatives’ and otgerwise opposed to Obama). I cannot believe what I heard from bill Bennett and savage instructing their audience. Bennett said yesterday it was crazy (crazy) to oppose McCain, as he’s on our side

That's right GOP keep up the circular firing squad all the time ValJar is continuing the DESTRUCTION OF OUR AMERICA AND TRANSOFRMING IT INTO LIBTARD AMERICA.

This is the Big One. It would cement the WORST aspects of O-Care, not to mention everything leftist and criminal. Gun rights? Finished. Legal voting? No more. Drug trafficking, human trafficking, you name it. Entire counties would be balkanized, and it could even spread into entire states. Checkmate.

I wouldn’t even bother posting anymore if this passes. Nor would I display the Flag. Too risky at that point. We would be done, time to lie low and consider spreading freedom to other nations and salting in freedom concepts with subtely the way communist ‘citizens’ have done it.

Unless their right to vote is actually delayed. But even then, there would be a push to speed it up and race to hispander.

Hidden in that stampede will be al Qaeda terrorists and the most brutal criminal syndicate in the Western World.

“Hidden in that stampede will be al Qaeda terrorists and the most brutal criminal syndicate in the Western World.”

Exactly Right. And while the TSA feel up all the women, check grandma for bombs, make wheelchair passengers get up and go through the scanner, terrorists walk across the border unfettered carrying anything they want.

I understand, but at some point the only way to go is up.
