You can't make this sort of stuff up.
Barack Milhaus Obama, fresh from his triumphant sell-out to the PhRMA, decides this probably isn't a good time to give immigration reform try.
Evidently there wasn't a Mexican with $150 million in the room.
Anyway, here's what Milhaus had to say in the matter:
President Obama said Monday that efforts to change the immigration system would be a major focus for his administration only next year, after other major priorities were accomplished, including passage of a new health care system.
“It’s very important for us to sequence these big initiatives in a way where they don’t all just crash at the same time,” he said, according to The Associated Press.
Let's face it, the man has a way with words.
Remember: According to Bill Maher, Barack Milhaus Obama is one of the smart ones...
Au contraire, there are plenty of Mexican millionaires, and billionaires. I have no doubt, if they chose to, they could easily come up with a little south to north "remittance" scheme.

Let's put it this way: At $150 million, there wasn't a Mexican in the room who felt like buying Obama.

Why would Mexican millionaire and billionaires wan to get their money anywhere near a confiscatory socialist?

A sequence of crashes is more entertaining than one big one. Sort of like fireworks!
