Does Obama have congressional support needed to pass reform?

That's a big question mark.

When Mexican president Felipe Calderon visited the White House in May, President Obama said he didn't have enough congressional support to pass immigration reform.

"The political challenge is, is that I have confidence that I can get the majority of Democrats, both in the House and the Senate, to support a piece of legislation of the sort that I just described. But I don’t have 60 votes in the Senate. I’ve got to have some support from Republicans."

It will be interesting to hear whether something has changed between then and now.

  1. I'd say yes, Congress will support it, since the majority of Americans are against it.

  2. I would say no, not with many Democrats in the fight for their political lives this is to controversial and could cause Democrats to lose more seats. Obama is just paying lip service to this to get the immigration reform folks off his back and pushing them to the backs of Congress. Obama is just looking out for himself.
