Audience Boos Border Wall At Obama Speech In El Paso

President Obama just spoke on immigration reform in El Paso, Texas where audience members booed the border wall. The President mentioned the wall while listing the many Republican mandates his party has met in hopes of reaching an agreement on broader immigration reform, prompting boos from those in attendance. "Even though we've answered these concerns, I gotta say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time," he said. "Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat."

The President went on to site statistics on the increased number of illegal guns, money and drugs seized at the border during his administration. "So, El Paso, the question is whether those in Congress who previously walked away in the name of enforcement are now ready to come back to the table and finish that work that we've started."

The President's speech today is part of the Democratic party's attempt to use immigration reform to gain support for the 2012 presidential election. Though Barack Obama has completed none of the promises he made to Latino immigration reform supporters in 2008, and everything to assuage the concerns of anti-immigration supporters, he would like you to blame the opposing party for that.

"We're going to keep on fighting for the DREAM Act," he told audience members, claiming, as he did during his Town Hall on Univision in March, that his administration has focused on deporting criminals and not families or students who are trying to make a better life for themselves. "We're going to keep up the fight for reform. But that's where you come in. This change ultimately has to come from you–the American people. I'm asking you to add your voices to this debate," the President continued, calling on voters to sign up at his website–whitehouse.gov–to help with the need for greater comprehensive reform.
