WASHINGTON — The White House says President Barack Obama plans a meeting Tuesday on immigration reform with several groups and leaders.
The White House says the afternoon meeting will be with a broad group of business, law enforcement, religious, and current and former elected and appointed leaders from across the political spectrum. The statement issued late Monday was attributed to a White House senior official who was not further identified.
The statement said the president planned to discuss the importance of fixing the nation's "broken immigration system" to meet the country's 21st century economic and national security needs.
Some immigration reform advocates have criticized Obama's efforts on immigration reform.

"The president planned to discuss the importance of fixing the nation's "broken immigration system" to meet the country's 21st century economic and national security needs."
In other words, the liar in the White House will arrange to provide amnesty to illegals and ignore the sieve of a border (like he has always done). He will perform all of this the same way he approached health reform... HE WILL RAM IT DOWN AMERICAN'S THROATS NO MATTER WHAT.

I wonder exactly how he thinks it's broken? Not enough people of color getting in? Borders not open enough for him? lol This liar may be planning on a signing statement granting amnesty. He has not lived up to any of his promises, so I can't imagine how even the progressives could trust him. What you can count on is that he wont be doing what is best for the nation or the people of America. He is Bush in black face.

Sorry Chris but it's all smoke and mirrors provided by the WH Marxist and his Soros paid henchmen in the liberal media.

In a letter to U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, one of the Leftist Czar in the Justice Department, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) has labeled Utah's guest worker amnesty as "illegal" and expressed consternation at Attorney General Holder's obvious refusal to enforce the law in Utah when he has been so quick to counter Arizona's interior enforcement laws. This shows the Liberal influence pushing for some form--any form of amnesty, that the TEA PARTY will fight as the costs are astronomical, and it overruling the laws of of our country. This is a contradiction to Janet Napolitano stating that the Border fence is more secure than ever before.
On Fox News and on C-Span TV broadcasts, has illustrated the mess our immigration laws are? Not because they are poorly organized, but because the laws are not enforced. If the TEA PARTY has any effect on this major problem, the will be no Comprehensive Immigration Reform (AMNESTY): killing Sanctuary State policies, the Dream Act Amnesty; Chain migration (Amnesty) or anything else that stinks of Amnesty for lawbreakers. That’s why we have millions of illegal aliens pouring into this country, because at some vfuture time, they expect--MASS AMNESTY. It never worked in 1986, so it certainly will not work now? Not because of bad leadership at the borders, but owing to the fact that hundreds of miles in this dangerous territory, the US Border Patrol clashes with stupid, environmental laws imposed by the Bureau of Land Management , Game and Fisheries and Forest, Parks and Public lands.
Rancher Jim Chilton put this lie to rest, by stating to a federal committee, that his 50 miles of border, of which he owns is wide open to the drug traffickers and illegal people smugglers. Jim Chilton added where there is a fence, it is no different to what you see rusting along any highway. In Chilton testimony he explained to the mix of party members, that the people live in fear along the border. If you leave your home it’s likely to get broken into. His own ranch had been burglarized twice and he cannot go outside, unless he is fully armed. So because of land managed laws, the US border Patrol must ask for permission to enter certain areas of land, because of such things as the endangered species Act. While at the same time the criminal surveillance persons have the most expensive binoculars and other equipment to watch the movement of the border patrol. The Border agents are essentially not patrolling along the border fence, where they are needed.
Is there some ominous connection between the drug cartels and why the--REAL--fences, between our southern border and our National security? Does it seem strange to anybody else that after the 2006 Secure Fence Act was enacted, almost within a month funding for the bill was cut drastically and even today not even a single fencing has been completed? If the first steel enforced fence had been constructed, with a second fence, some thousand feet apart, maybe the drug traffickers would have not easy access to the children of America. With "drag roads" as they are called, ( parallel patrol tracks between the fences) between the 15 foot chain link fence, adorned with concertina razor wire, manned by permanent National Guard watchtowers within visible sight of each other. One Republican has sponsored a third fence scenario, which would be even a greater deterrent to the drug and illegal alien invasion.
THE LEFTIST MEDIA WILL NOT DIVULGE THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION QUAGMIRE. NOR DID THEY PUBLICIZE THE RANTS, UGLY SLURS AND RACIAL EPITHETS SCREAMED AT THE LAST TEA PARTY RALLY. THEY ARE SHOOTING FOR MILLIONS OF MORE VOTES; EVEN IF THEY ARE ILLEGALLY VOTING IN ELECTIONS? THE CONFERENCE HELD BY OBAMA IS TO PUSH FOR ANOTHER IMMIGRATION REFORM TRAVESTY. NEW YORK MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG JOINED ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER WHO I SUSPECT ARE PART OF THE BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, WHO ARE THERE TO STOP ANY INTERRUPTION OF CHEAP LABOR ENTERING AMERICA.
States that ignore immigration laws, such as Sanctuary California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, will have endure floods of economic new Arrivals that politicians will force their taxpayers to financially support. Georgia and a few more concerned States will not bare the major money burden of fewer welfare aliens searching for another location to pilfer of public services.
America is in a sorry way under numerous administrations, that have built massive governments agencies and many should be closed down. We are overextended in credit and we must bail ourselves out, by cutting costs to thousands of government agencies. With a rising 14 Trillion dollar deficit, that it’s not going away and all Americans must be prepared to draw in the financial belts. The Obama government must draw out the criminals that are stealing from Medicare and Medicaid. Huge criminal organizations are stealing from taxpayers, with dubious doctors and expensive tests. No matter the fiscal Consequences we must not go above the US debt system, by the leftist democrats using fear. Illegal immigration is not a small issue, as it now has grown out of all proportions and costing us billions every year.
It’s no good expecting the Democrats or the Republicans to dig us out of this mess, as only the TEA PARTY is a growing party, splitting from the wealthy right. They have the empowerment to solve this out-of-control-problem. Visit a local TEA PARTY website no matter what religion, party affiliation, as long as you entered the United States legally.Find out what illegal immigration is costing you. Did you know that you, the taxpayer supports the education for illegal alien children and free health care for the whole family. Do you know that they get priority over US Citizens for low income housing, if they have four children? All these answers and more can be located at NumbersUSA.

Right, Slab... those leftists like the FBI and police departments across the country.
It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
Then again, you buy into the birther conspiracy....

ChrisSal, I remember well the Bush conspiracies you subscribed to my old friend!

Questions: How many more cops will be murdered? How many more children will be raped? How many more illegals will we have to endure "running from a car accident"? Car jackings on the weak and disabled? Home invasions? Would you like more? Do not trust govn't sources of data---confirm and verify.

Birther conspiracy? I fail to see how asking him to produce an actual birth certificate qualifies as a conspiracy. He produced a passport to prove his citizenship which was procured by a certificate of live birth. Neither proves where he was born. So where's this conspiracy you speak of Chris?
The only reason anything has been done about illegal immigration lays directly at the feet of the Tea Party's pressure on the republican party.
So, your point is? Oh ya, right, it's on top of your head zippy lol

It's absolutely a conspiracy. Know why? Aside from the fact he was born in Hawaii and his birth certificate HAS been made available, under Federal Law, in any kookoo bananas scenario used by the birthers, Obama is a US citizen by birth. Hence, a natural-born citizen. That's sorta what happens when one's Mom is an American from Kansas.
If you can't grasp this fact from US citizenship law, then why should anyone take you seriously when you talk about immigration? You've already proven you have no clue what you're talking about by getting the law wrong.

Hey, Slab,
If I'm wrong, then you won't mind sharing chapter and verse of Federal law that proves it.
Right?

FACT: "Barrack Obama" is NOT the true, legal name of the impostor presently pretending to be the POTUS. His legal name is "Barry Soetoro."
FACT: Barry Soetoro/Obama was officially adopted by his mother's husband in Jakarta, Indonesia in the mid 1960's. His mother's husbands name? Lolo Sotoro.
FACT: Barry Soetoro became a citizen of Indonesia in the 1960's. Anyone seeking the office of President in the USA can NOT have held citizenship in any other country, EVER!
FACT: Soetoro/Obama is holding office ILLEGALLY.
