‘They’ll Never Be Satisfied’: Obama Mocks Republicans on Immigration

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — In search of Hispanic votes and a long-shot immigration overhaul, President Barack Obama on Tuesday stood at the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time since winning the White House and declared it more secure than ever. He mocked Republican lawmakers for blocking immigration over border security alone, saying they won’t be happy until they get a moat with alligators along the border.
“They’ll never be satisfied,” he said.
Stymied by both chambers of Congress, the president ditched lawmakers in favor of voters who might pressure them, making an appeal to the public on a hot and dusty day far outside Washington. He told a friendly El Paso crowd that it’s up to them to tell Congress to pass legislation providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.
The approach also allowed the president to make clear that it’s Republicans – not him – standing in the way of immigration legislation. As his re-election campaign approaches it‘s a message he wants broadcast loud and clear to Latino voters who don’t like his administration’s heavy deportations and feel he never made good on his promise to prioritize immigration legislation during his first year in office.
“I am asking you to add your voices to this,” Obama said. “We need Washington to know that there is a movement for reform gathering strength from coast to coast. That‘s how we’ll get this done.”
Countering Republican calls to focus on border security before moving to a comprehensive overhaul, Obama boasted of increasing Border Patrol agents, nearing completion of a border fence and screening more cargo, among other steps.
“We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement,” Obama said. “But even though we’ve answered these concerns, I gotta say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time.”
“Maybe they’ll need a moat,” he said derisively to laughter from the crowd. “Maybe they’ll want alligators in the moat.”
“The question is whether those in Congress who previously walked away in the name of enforcement are now ready to come back to the table and finish the work we’ve started,” he said.
Obama also tailored his argument to the times, making his case for immigration reform in newly sharpened economic terms. He said the middle class would benefit from bringing illegal immigrants out of an underground economy and drawing on the abilities of immigrants educated at American universities. Obama also noted that it’s not just Latinos who want an immigration remake, but also police chiefs, business owners, educators and others.
His speech broke no new policy ground, though, and he declined to offer a bill or call on Congress to send him one by a particular deadline – a bow to political realities on Capitol Hill. Republicans who control the House are hostile to overhaul legislation.
And as if to underscore how faintly his call for immigration reform would resonate in Congress, two key border state Republicans immediately responded with a statement demanding to know: “President Obama speaks about our broken immigration system; but what about our broken borders?” The statement was from Republican Sens. Jon Kyl and John McCain of Arizona, the latter Obama’s 2008 presidential opponent and a one-time supporter of comprehensive overhaul legislation.
Obama’s personal pitch was the latest step in a visible campaign to build support and pressure on Republicans to act. He went so far as to encourage people to sign up to help him at the White House website. He said it was up to the American people to drive the debate and isolate areas where both parties can agree.
Politically, Obama sought to have it both ways.
He said he would lead a “constructive and civil debate” on the issue but publicly questioned the motives of Republicans and their ability to keep their word.
And it remained unclear how mocking Republican calls for border security would get Obama any closer to his goal of bipartisan legislation.
Just across the Rio Grande from the Chamizal National Park, where Obama spoke, the Ciudad Juarez park has been used by criminals to dump the bodies of rivals. A nearby entertainment district, within sight of a major bridge into the United States, has been the scene of numerous shootouts among rival cartels and authorities.
The president made his pitch in a state he lost by more than 10 percentage points in 2008 and is unlikely to pick up in 2012. But Hispanic voters are critical to the president’s re-election. Latinos accounted for more than 7 percent of voters in the 2008 presidential election, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, and their numbers are greater in certain swing states like Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Florida.
The trip had a more overtly political component too. From El Paso, the president headed to the relatively liberal bastion of Austin to raise money for the Democratic National Committee at two events. A total of about 800 people paid $44 to $35,800 to attend.
The president wasn’t able to get immigration legislation through Congress last year that would have provided a route to legal status for college students and others who were brought to the country as children. The so-called DREAM Act passed the House, then controlled by Democrats, but was blocked by Senate Republicans.
The Senate is now even more heavily Republican, and Republicans control the House. That means immigration reform can’t happen unless they cooperate. Nonetheless, Senate Democrats plan to reintroduce the DREAM Act on Wednesday, with their counterparts in the House following suit. Given Republican opposition the bills likely won’t get far, but Obama will try to make certain voters know who to blame.

Posted on May 10, 2011 at 10:18pmConsummate campaigner Obama saying the border is more secure now than ever is such a stretch that it defies logic. This guy needs a reality check. Or he’s outright lying.
The border is not secure. They‘re beheading people at the border and they’ve found Iranian books celebrating suicide bombers in the desert in Arizona! They’re killing people down there and burying them in mass graves! The drug cartels are partnering with Hizbollah and they’re blowing things up.
Arizona, build the fence. Don’t rely on these dhimmis to get something done. Because they’re never going to do it. BUILD THE FENCE!
Obama needs all these illegals to keep voting him in. He’s never going to secure the border! He gains big time from not securing the border!
Anyone who takes contributions from the Hama in the Gaza strip is not going to care about Americans. Obama could care less if Americans are safe! He‘s not on America’s side. He’s on the enemies side.
Believe it!
He’s going to be in campaign mode for the rest of his term. And he’s going to say and do anything to get himself re-elected.
And he‘s counting on those who don’t know what’s going on to believe him!

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 6:11amYou are correct. Mr Obama is a believer in the doctrine of Hegel – Marx & Engels and supports a global solution which he and his fellow believers assume will bring about world peace. The Clintons call it the global initiative. The Party of European Socialists (PES) ( other Marxists) believe in it as well and have worked closely with the US democratic – Marxist party to achieve the actual implementation of it. But don’t take my word for it, go to the PES website and read all about John Podesta, Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders there. Don‘d forget it was John Podesta who hand picked those in Mr Obama’s cabinet and Czar positions.
Go to the Socialists International web site and read there of globalization. This is exactly what they are after. The United Nations fully supports a global government and and elimination of the sovereign nations. This is the end goal of Mr Obama and his democratic – Marxist party. This is why he has a very different view of immigration. From his global viewpoint, the subjects of the global Marxist government should be able to move about on any continent they want, with state control of course. The state administrators of the global government will of course live in all the cushy areas of the world while the remainder of us will be left with what ever the states allows. What this means is, the global government will re-assign the people (its slaves) to where ever they deem necessary, base on the individuals allegiance to the global gover

He has NO rational or practical ideas, about ANYTHING related to true leadership or effective government. His constituency consists of welfare and government employee leaches, communist-loving pseudo-intellectuals, criminally-disposed union thugs, illegal aliens, racist “civil rights” hustlers, and the dregs of society. Losers, one and all.

Posted on May 10, 2011 at 11:27pmPerhaps one of the worst speeches ever given by a president. Barry’s problem is his low IQ. He can’t hide it and he sounds like an inner city Chicago high school drop out when he speaks. Couple that with most of what he says is a lie, and you have a huge credibility gap. The people have figured you out Barry. Col West said it best, you’re nothing but a low level socialist agitator. And not a very good one at that. Only the dumbest of the dumb buy what he’s selling. The audacity of this president is epic. He gave relief money to Mexico for wild fires but refused the great state of Texas relief money for wild fires. Then he goes to Texas to beg for campaign money. He is simply the worst President we have ever had. Utterly disgusting. Utterly incompetent. He’s getting a shellacking again Nov 2012. There is no way anyone with an IQ over 80 could in good conscience vote for such a partisan hack. Plus any liberal who has one ounce of integrity would call him a cold blooded murder. There may not be many such liberals. Maybe you liberals should vote for Michael Moore, he has 1000x more integrity than our prepubescent President.

Report Post »I mock you, as well, when you refused to raise the debt limit under Bush, yet you want to raise it now. I mock you because, while you are politically show-boating on the border, Americans are being MURDERED in those border states.

And for that, God IS MOCKING YOU RIGHT NOW. Oh yes, God loves you, but God cannot look upon your SINFUL LIFE TO HELP YOU. Until you turn FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS, as a man who repeatedly breaks the 10 commandments and opposes Israel, THE APPLE OF GOD’S EYE, God will eventually punish you, as you slide downhill, saluting only thyself. If history speaks for itself, in 10 years, you will be a laughing stock, if you CONTINUE TO destroy this country within the next 2 years. I MOCK YOU for being ignorant about our U.S. Constitution and the BIBLE. YOU ARE ANTI-AMERICAN, and I therefore refuse to do anything with the Democratic party because they have been taken over by EVIL.

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 12:42amIt’s time to mock Obama for being so needy and greedy for the Hispanic vote. He would sacrifice the safety and lives of his fellow citizens in order to get re-elected. His speech in El Paso has to be one of the nastiest and devisive speeches ever given by a sitting president. Every word out of his mouth is meant to divide the country and promote unrest. Can anyone out there remember any other president in our lifetime that has given speeches like this and mocked other Americans so callously? He is a political activist, not a president.

Posted on May 11, 2011 at 8:29amWhile addressing the dire need for mass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, Barack Obama refers to those opposed to such an outrage as “they”… And who would “they” be? The hard-working, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens of America!
Then Obama falsely claims that our wide-open border is secure and even mocks those who would expect such border security… This is an incredible insult to all law-abiding citizens and countless Americans who have died as a direct result of mass illegal immigration.
This is yet another political ploy by Barack Obama and the Democrats to buy the Hispanic vote in 2012… Our very lives are being held hostage in Obama’s quest to remain in power.
An absolute disgrace!

He was mocking us on wanting to uphold the rule of law and protect our borders from the crime and rampant ILLEGAL immigration currently overwhelming and financially draining the southern states, endangering their citizens in the process. He is a shameful demagogue who is unfit to hold the office. Just who the hell is he advocating for, anyway> US citizens of those seeking to skirt the law? I guess he made that abundantly clear.
