President Obama said his failure to enact comprehensive immigration reform during his first term shouldn’t disillusion Hispanic voters who supported him in 2008. “I’ve got another five years,” Obama boasted to the Spanish-language radio network Univision in an interview that aired Thursday.

“We’re going to get this done. And absolutely, we have strong support in the Latino community because they’ve seen what we’ve been working on,” he said.

Obama made the comments during a phone interview with host Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo taped Wednesday ahead of Obama's trip to Hispanic-heavy Florida today for a speech on the economy and three campaign fundraisers.

“Unfortunately, the Republican side, which used to at least give lip service to immigration reform, now they’ve gone completely to a different place,” Obama said, “and have shown themselves unwilling to talk at all about any sensible solutions to this issue, and we’re going to have to just keep up the pressure until they act.”

Obama did not mention the failure of the Democratically-controlled Congress of acting on immigration reform legislation during the first two years of his term or opposition from within his own party to a path to legal status for some of the nation’s 12 million illegal immigrants.

im beginning to think Obama is hiding his college transcripts because of all the (F)antastic math scores he got.

That's not the only F's he gets. His days are numbered and they do not include any days past the next inauguration day next year.

Has either side ever explored the sensible solution of enforcing our existing immigration laws and deporting those found to be in violation of it?
