CNN ^ | July 3, 2014 | Maria Cardona

Since Republicans in Congress refuse to do their job and allow a vote on comprehensive immigration reform this year, Obama, on behalf of the American people, is acting on his own to address this important issue -- for the well-being of our country, our economy and the immigrant community that has contributed so much to our economic growth and prosperity and is suffering greatly from a badly broken system.

“Obama, on behalf of the American people”

No, that should read, “Obama, on behalf of the Democrat Party”.

Mr. President, America is behind you on this every step of the way.

How dare this lying sack of filthy garbage speak for America! The polls show otherwise.

Bull Shit!!!!!

Obama and the Dims could have agreed to vote on individual true immigration reforms WITHOUT amnesty and they chose not to. That was their choice and by that choice it was their choice to not get any immigration reform.

Reagan started this. The immigration system is “broken” only because Bush and Obama have refused to enforce it.

Enforcement with severe e-verify fines would send illegals back to the homes they still have.

Ah ha! Is the Communist News Network saying Obama is behind the `surge’ of illegal central American young people?
If the WH admits it, well, that’s a `high crime’ and that’s an impeachable offense.

Imagine reading this in the sports columns:

Because the Cowboys held the Patriots to 9 yards, Brady had no choice but to play a 5th down.

Because one side uses all the legal tools at their disposal, that allows the other side to break the law to get what they want?

The unwise Latina is not even from America. She's from Bogota, Columbia.

...Obama is required by the Constitution and his oath of office to enforce the law as it now stands.

Who is going to FORCE him to perform his Oath of Office?

“The Republicans made the president do it”is the penultimate victim mentality.

This old bus sits in front of The Broken Spoke in Austin, TX, which is a country and western dance hall down in South Austin.  It was built in 1964 and seems like it has been around even longer than that.  I am not sure about the history of this old bus, but I am certain it has its share of miles.  The Broken Spoke is an icon of sorts around here, and has been rated one of the best dance halls in Texas (and I am sure there are many to choose from).
