How come Wash says after the bruising battle over health care nobody is ready to take on immigration reform?
Washington -- With the overhaul of the nations health care system almost off his to-do list, President Barack Obama has renewed his promise to revamp immigration laws this year.
"I pledge to do everything in my power to forge a bipartisan consensus this year on this important issue," Obama said in a video message to tens of thousands of activists who were calling for revising immigration laws as they gathered Sunday on Washingtons National Mall.
Chances are slim to none that the president will fulfill that pledge this year, however, as administration officials and lawmakers in Congress have put several other priorities -- from tightening financial regulations to creating jobs -- ahead of overhauling immigration laws.
Furthermore, lawmakers and pro-immigration advocates question whether Obama has the political capital -- and Congress the will -- to deal with another potentially divisive hot-button issue after the bruising battle over health care and with Novembers midterm elections on the horizon.
"Theres nobody in there ready to say, Hey, lets write an immigration bill. Nobody," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is a co-author of an immigration framework with Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, that the president recently embraced. "Democrats are risk-averse. If you dont believe me, go ask them about whether or not they want to take up immigration reform in the Senate."
Since Obama took office, there has been little action on restructuring federal immigration law or figuring out what to do with the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants who already are in this country.
Schumer and Grahams outline of a bill calls for creating a high-tech, tamper-proof Social Security card that would ensure that employers hire only legal workers. It includes a temporary-worker program and penalties for illegal immigrants -- fines or community service -- while allowing them to remain in the United States.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, an Illinois Democrat, introduced a bill in December that would provide 100,000 visas for immigrants from countries that have high illegal-immigration rates and would expedite legal immigration for close relatives of U.S. citizens and legal residents. Democrats and Republicans called Gutierrezs measure a nonstarter, however.
Theres little evidence that tackling immigration is a burning priority. In a recent Wall Street Journal interview, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel didnt even mention it when listing Obamas post-health care agenda, which includes dealing with financial regulation and job creation, retooling the No Child Left Behind education provisions and amending campaign-finance law to rebut a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that permits corporations and unions to finance campaign ads.

Looks like all those DC rallies were in vain and LaRaza & Latinos forgot other people can vote too, no looking at all possible is it?
Answer: Comrade Fidel to Comrade Obama .Fidel Castro Applauds Passage of Obama's Health Care Overhaul.It perhaps was not the endorsement President Obama and the Democrats in Congress were looking for.
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's presidency, but couldn't help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
"We consider health reform to have been an important battle and a success of his (Obama's) government," Castro wrote in an essay published in state media, adding that it would strengthen the president's hand against lobbyists and "mercenaries."
But the Cuban leader also used the lengthy piece to criticize the American president for his lack of leadership on climate change and immigration reform, and for his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, among many other things.
And he said it was remarkable that the most powerful country on earth took more than two centuries from its founding to approve something as basic as health benefits for all.
HAHAHA. This was never in doubt. Fidel is now convinced that Obama is a true believer since he is using Party procedures and methodologies to transform America. Well done comrade! Category: Immigration
