President Obama said it's not him or Democrats who are holding up comprehensive immigration reform, it's Republicans. The president emphasized at remarks to the National Council of La Raza in Washington, D.C. Monday.
"[F]eel free to keep the heat on me and keep the heat on Democrats. But here's the only thing you should know. The Democrats and your President are with you. Don't get confused about that. Remember who it is that we need to move in order to actually change the laws," he said.
Obama told the group there is "unfinished business" and that "I promised you I would work tirelessly to fix our broken immigration system and make the DREAM Act a reality." The DREAM Act, which would give citizenship to children of immigrants who are in college or serving in the military, failed in the Senate last year and has not had success moving forward yet in 2011.
"Believe me...the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting," he said, adding because that's not how things work with the constitution.
"Yes you can, Yes you can!," the crowd chanted in response.
While frightening seniors by telling them that their Social Security checks may not go out because of the debt limit, Obama doesn’t hesitate to play politics on the immigration front as well. – Ed.

The headline says it all. Obama "blames". Yes, he blames everything on the GOP and never takes responsibility for any of his or his party's actions.
One term president.
Let's read the aritcle.
It says "The DREAM Act, which would give citizenship to children of immigrants who are in college or serving in the military, failed in the Senate last year and has not had success moving forward yet in 2011."
Last time I checked, The Senate was controlled by the Democrats. Typical MSM crap.
The economy is being destroyed by Obama's policies, The country is about to default because Obama wants more job killing taxes, and he's worried about immigration reform.
What a complete fool!
Reps. want to waste more money on a fence that won't solve the symptom instead of getting to the root cause of the disease.
And as a group, dems are too pu$$ foot to get anything done.
Obama spoke to "La Raza" which translates to " The race" which is a racist group who's intention is to flood the United states with Mexicans in an effort to take over the country by sheer numbers.
not surprising Obama is a racist himself! He has proven that over and over again. Down with the big O.
conservatives want reform in the form of shoot em or send em back!
The Dream Act will never pass a National Vote.....this is just a ploy for the Democrats to stay in office!
Obama will do it by executive order before the next election to be sure he is re-elected. Just wait and see.
