Obama (again) touts his version of immigration reform

"The President reaffirmed that he will continue to work to forge bipartisan consensus and will intensify efforts to lead a civil debate on this issue in the coming weeks and months," said the White House readout of yesterday's meeting between Obama and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Obama's version of immigration reform includes not only tighter security at the nation's borders, but a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are already here.

Many Republicans said that proposed pathway amounts to amnesty for lawbreakers, and they would oppose it. And the Republicans control the House of Representatives.

Because it would be so much better to round 'em all up for deportation, right? Jackwagons.
