He knows that it has to be a collaborative effort in order to change the law. July 2010. President Obama: There are those in the immigrants rights community who have argued passionately that we should simply provide those who are here illegally with legal status or at least ignore the laws on the books and put an end to deportations until we have better laws. That is what folks were asking of President Obama: Cant you just ignore the laws? If you cant ignore the laws. wont you just put deportations on hold? The President responded with this: I believe that such an indiscriminate approach would be both unwise and unfair. It would suggest to those thinking about coming here illegally that there will be no repercussions for such a decision. and this could lead to a surge in more illegal immigration. Did you see that was a little different conversation than what the President was talking about a little earlier? Statement after statement. speech after speech. conversation after conversation. the President said: No.
