Last week, Obama said he wants to follow through on his promise to fix the immigration system, BUT the goal faces the major hurdles of the economy, drug violence in Mexico, and a full agenda already before Congress. Don Kerwin of the Migration Policy Institute said, "The issue is where immigration falls in the range of a lot of pressing priorities. Can you do them all together? Can they all be accomplished this year or next?"
What was it we kept hearing through Obama's campaign -- "YES, WE CAN!" Sounds to me like it's now "Maybe we can't."
