What Obama forgot to mention in his immigration reform speech

Tweet

Obama talked about the need for immigration reform. He talked about how he wants to do it. He went into detail how the bill a few years ago failed. But what he forgot to remind you was why. It had the support of the President Bush...it had enough votes to pass from both parties. That bill was almost a done deal. YOu know what stopped it dead in it's tracks? We the American poeple did it. Congress was all set to pass it until the American public let their voice be heard and loudly. So many people HATED that bill that they called their elected representatives. So many called that it crashed the switch board at the capital and kept crashing it for days. People called, emailed, wrote letters,protested and keep on doing it...until congress backed off and let the bill die. So he can say he wants congress to work together on this all he wants...but if they don't put up a bill that the American citizens like...it won't matter. He needs US to approve of the bill...not congress. Unless he is planning on just cramming a bill through wether we like it or not like they did with healthcare. The majority of American want the border secured BEFORE we reform immigration. What is the point of overhauling the system if people can still come over illegally in massive amounts? What is the point of overhauling the system if employers can still hire illegals without getting into major trouble? ALso how is Obama going to sell "amnesty" or a "path to citizenship" to the American public when a LARGE percent of us DON'T WANT IT?
