Just hours before President Obama hosted lawmakers for a discussion on immigration at the White House, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel conceded that Obama and his allies on Capitol Hill do not have the votes to pass a comprehensive reform bill.

"If the votes were there, you wouldn't need to have the meeting. You could go to a roll call," Emanuel told reporters during an hour-long breakfast.

Hmm, why do both Gibbs and Emanuel not have much confidence in the passage of the upcoming amnesty bill?

All they have to do is pen into Federal law, the same laws both Arizona and Oklahoma are passing as state law. Then spend a 100th less money to get rid of them, than they will cost us, given amnesty.

One has to admire the sheer hispandering mastery skills of career Democratic left wing politicians. They've had so much practice though. The Obama administration wants to give every ethnocentric Latino voter all the things that they ever wanted and more, but, alas, sob, the votes just aren't there. It's those evil conservatives that are keeping ethnocentric Latinos from realizing their dreams. Ethnocentric Latinos will never vote for Conservatives!!!

Darn, was so looking forward to all that exciting Third World living, poverty, filth, epidemics, increased crime and mortality, dirt floors and hovels, no electricity or utilities, grubbing out a living from the earth, etc. Really saddened....

Now don't forget the 10 to 15 people or more crammed into one residence, blaring mariachi music, chickens and pigs in the front yard, yards full of junker cars, sprayed graffiti on every wall and fence, gang bangers, etc.

I am sure there are several people on this forum who could steer you to the neighborhood of your dreams if you are willing to relocate.
