I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.


Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

You can never get everything you want in a free society.

I really think he is doing pretty great here.

A virtual fence and unmanned drones.

Yes, I think he's got a very solid response and he is sounding very reasonable.

I'm glad he's finally addressing this head-on.

About the only joy I get out of this issue anymore is the wacking of the trolls.

Actually, he is doing pretty well. He needs to walk a middle road. He is a President of a very large country with a lot of people who have varied opinions on this issue.

Yep, IMHO, he is doing just fine.

WTF! If they wanted citizenship, they'd have done it years ago and not protested and waved flags yelling "Viva Mexico!.
