More evidence that President Obama was willing to say anything to get elected. More evidence that he's just another jackass politician. More evidence that the Dumbest Evil Genius in the History of Fascism got a third term:

I dont recall any campaign pledge to not enforce existing laws against employers in a reasonable manner and with respect for the rights of employees.
Enforcement of current laws, particularly against employers is a good thing. Backing away from the previous policy of overly aggressive sweeps into places of employment and rounding up everyone who "looks like an illegal" is even better.

Under Ms. Napolitano, immigration authorities have backed away from the Bush administration’s frequent mass factory roundups of illegal immigrant workers....
...Ms. Napolitano said in the interview that she would not call off immigration raids entirely as some Hispanic lawmakers have suggested. “We will continue to enforce the law and to look for effective ways to do it,” she said.

And, IMO, Obama's continued support for a pathway to citizenship for the vast majority of illegals currently in the country (no, not amnesty and certainly not for any who have committed a crime) is the only reasonable approach to the larger illegal immigration issue...along with tougher border security.

Ms. Napolitano and other administration officials argue that no-nonsense immigration enforcement is necessary to persuade American voters to accept legislation that would give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants, a measure they say Mr. Obama still hopes to advance late this year or early next.

Dont get so worked up until you see specific legislation (and it probably wont be anytime soon)....then you can start ranting about "amnesty is unamerican" and a cheap ploy for Hispanic votes.
