Obama Mentions Immigration at 100 Days Press Conference

Claro he mentions it after being asked by a Telemundo (Spanish language television network) reporter.

Wait, suddenly Obama thinks that McCain is a great rep for immigration reform? What about when Obama said this?

I am also concerned with Obama’s “Mexicanizing” the immigration issue. While obviously Mexican immigration is huge, even at the U.S. Mexican border, not all of those crossing are Mexican. Also with Mexicans being blamed for the Swine Flu outbreak, was that a smart strategy?

Also, President Obama, it would be great if you could get the names of Latino politicos correct. It may not seem like a big deal to say “Nydia Vasquez” instead of “Nydia Velasquez” pero it kind of is.

The fact that Obama feels that securing borders and not securing lives is the priority is what concerns me the most. Yes, he said that he wants to appease the beliefs of the “average American”. Yes he said that raids aren’t a thoughtful approach. Yes, he emphasized the role that companies play. For all these things he should be given credit.

Pero what’s next and what’s real especially as tomorrow there will be pro-migrant rallies all over the country.
