DAILY DOZEN: IMMIGRATION

With President Obama set to meet with Governor Brewer of Arizona today regarding immigration law, The Bukowski Report provides the latest information about the meeting and other immigration news from around the nation.

While I don't necessarily agree with the Arizona law, I do believe it's time that we got serious about immigration reform. Unfortunately, for President Obama, this means one more task on his plate that needs to be addressed right now. For you supporters of the previous administration, this is just another example of what happens when you stay removed from any significant policy decisions for eight years - everything piles up and eventually the shit hits the fan. The President - EVERY PRESIDENT - needs to stay engaged. Thank God that Obama seems to have the energy and interest to do just that. You go, Barry! YES YOU CAN!!!
