#2 Mr. Obama will frame the new effort -- likely to rouse passions on all sides of the highly divisive issue

Even the rubes have to be catching on to this BS. Float the balloon and rile up the opposition and special interest groups. Then call in the attack dogs to accuse the opponents of some kind of ism in order to create a distraction from the real boondoggles. Finally, assign blame for the unfulfilled promise and kick the can down the road. All together now - Chicagoooah Chicagoooahthat toddlin town.

#4 This will lead to violence....the mood is already simmering. The idea that we have gone so far into debt to pay for the stupidity of bankers, politicians and irresponsible borrowers living far beyond their means has people angry. The rampant inflation that is coming will even further steal wealth away from Americans and their savings. Now introduce the idea of citizenship and benefits to millions who don't deserve to even be here will break the back of public confidence in goverment.....anger and rioting will follow and ugly confrontations will make communities very, very self-protective.
I pity the poor cops who have to stand between real American citizens and the scum politicians who fail to obey the people's will on this issue.

#6 Now introduce the idea of citizenship and benefits to millions who don't deserve to even be here will break the back of public confidence in goverment.....

The back of public confidence in government is already broken. So far as I can tell, the public has confidence in the military and that is about all.
