I think you're wrong. Canada's immigration population is socially liberal and financially conservative. The R's would have a very strong platform if they'd actually practice their limited government talking points and uphold individual liberty.
I disagree. We have a huge black market of cheap labor created by our policies that is out of sight, but we benefit from them as a society.
Yeah and he could have pulled this off in his first term and chose not to. Funny everybody screams "stalemate" and Harry Reid isn't mentioned.
Don't forget palosi those first 2 years. But the R's had no interest in bipartisan immigration reform
I've yet to hear any reasonable grounds for impeachment. But if some were alleged to exist, don't mistake President Obama (and his approval ratings) for Bill Clinton's (and his ratings, at the time of impeachment), by any measure other than they are both Democrats. Barack Obama is no Bill Clinton, on any level. I think the Dems have frustrated the Hispanic community, but only because they feel that the time is ripe and the window may be closing. It's not like they're going to jump to the GOP. And that's the point.
Open question: Had candidate Barack Obama announced that he would be issuing amnesty via an EO during his initial campaign for the Presidency - would he have still been elected? What if he announced it while running for his second term - would he have been re-elected? How much difference would it have made in either case, if any at all?
Im not sure why bipartisan was relevant then, but not worth the time now. Of course the dynamics of congress on both sides are very different now than then.
Words. Sweet, sweet words that turn to wax in my ear. Let us not be so hasty as to take sides before we see the law.
