In 2008, Obama Promised Immigration Reform In First Year Of First Term

In 2008 then Senator Obama said he would make immigration reform a “top priority” of his first term as President, pledging to do it his first year as President. In an interview with Univison this year, Obama made a similar promise to try for immigration reform in the first year of his second term.

      It’s 100% NOT bullshit to blame republican obstruction on dream act failure. The Democrats needed 100% caucus support to break a filibuster, one distention on any issue and 0 republican support means the filibuster stands. The senate operates on 50 +1, not 60 vote system. The Republicans broke government and yell that it doesn’t work.

      Pure bullshit blaming republicans. Obama and Democrats had filibuster proof 60 seat majority in the Senate and a House majority. They thumbed their noses as republicans and didn’t consult them at all when crafting legislation and policy. Then Scott Brown happened. Then 2010 happened!
