Charles Krauthammer: Immigration Speech An Attempt To Appeal To Base

Charles Krauthammer: "It's obviously a political attempt to appeal to his base for an election where the party's going to be in trouble, and he needs the base. It's going to be a base election. That's all he's got. And he's not serious. And yet, he attacks the other side for posturing. ... The fact is that Democrats are holding enforcement hostage in order to get a bargain on amnesty, and that is against their constitutional duties. They should enforce the border. Obama said a fence is not going to solve the whole problem. Nobody pretends it will. It won't solve the problem of the 11 million already here. But it will solve the problem of new immigrants from the South. And if you solve that, you'd get a national consensus on a humane offer of amnesty and legalization."
