WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama , Democratic congressional leaders and advocates of revamping the nation's immigration laws say that developing a comprehensive immigration bill this year is a top priority, despite an already full legislative plate that includes a Supreme Court confirmation hearing, overhauling America's health care system, addressing climate change and conducting two wars.

"We're already seeing the difficulties Obama is having, for example, in figuring out what to do about Guantanamo Bay prisoners," said Jose Calderon , a sociology professor at California's Pitzer College who works on immigration issues. "And when you deal with a Congress that is not united on an issue, realities come home. I think we're going to have a similar situation in trying to pass a comprehensive immigration policy."

In other words, I doubt we'll see any granting of amnesty in 2009 while our country is still facing economic troubles, a health care system in shambles, two wars overseas, and while SOB drug violence is still rampaging despite all of the noise pollution from those ethnocentricists, religious nutjobs and illegal alien-employing businesses.
