Immigration Reform

I agree with Ruben Navarrette on his editorial from Immigration Reform from Ruben Navarrette on CNN.com stating that Rahm Emanuel and the Obama Administration don't seem to be doing what they promised on the issue of immigration. In fact they haven't once brought it up in a while. They seem to be far too busy with their healthcare bill to deal with anything else.

With the issues we deal with on the border only getting worse as time goes on, like the Falcon Lake incident that just happened on October 3rd. This Administration still hasn't brought up anything on border security or what their plans are on this increasingly dangerous subject.
Ruben goes on to say that instead, Rahm has declared immigration the new "third rail" in politics. He is trying very hard to stay away from the subject, so hard that "Capitol Hill newspapers reported shouting matches between Emanuel and members of the Democratic-controlled Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who failed to get leaders of their party to tackle the issue." (Ruben Navarrette) 


The part that I'm not so sure I agree with is when he goes on to say that Rahm Emanuel isn't fully to blame, that Obama himself betrayed everyone who believed the Administration would fix our problems. If Rahm Emanuel is Obama's man on this issue and is attempting to stay away from the issue, then theres not much else president Obama can do on the issue. How can he come out and publicly speak about an issue that he would only be able to see on the news? An issue that has never been brought to his full attention and therefor isn't fully aware of. 


The fact of the matter is that some of Mr. Ruben Navarrette's opinions are just too far out there and too close to conspiracy theory. I do agree with most of the things he says throughout this editorial but the end is just a little too far out there for me to believe.
