Yes, that's true. Likewise, we all oughta be able to see that, as you say, there are serious disagreements within each party, not merely between parties. Was happened to that? Now he wants to wait and see what will work? > Isn't it obvious by now what works and does not work?

It's best for immigrants, best for non-immigrants, best for everybody. How exactly will such a thing be implemented? Even if Barack Obama were Jesus (which he isn't) he couldn't just declare "this is so" and it would happen. Congress is going to be involved. Per the comments above - a coalition has to be built or _n-o-t-h-i-n-g_ will happen, whatever Barack Obama may or may not say for or against reform. So congressmen in both houses have to be brought on board, they have to be CONVINCED that this matters, that this is important, that it is good for THEIR district... and then they might actually take action. > The good news are that it is possible to change this situation, our cause is > far supported and reason assists us all.

Barack Obama and every rep/senator has to hear about reform in THEIR district and the financial benefits it will bring to THEIR district (and voters they'll gain).... maybe that will get those guys moving?
