I hope they are freaking out to at least the same degree that I was impressed. Obama has not done anything good about immigration so far, and those fasting protesters welcomed him and Michelle to their tent. I hope this means that somehow immigration reform will happen, with full ‘amnesty’ and no 13 year wait.

I’d have to disagree that Obama’s done nothing good on immigration. He encouraged the Senate to pass the bill they did, he supported it all along, praised members of both parties (including Rubio, who made a good faith effort at the time), and them promised to sign it.

OTOH, two-thirds of the Senate Republicans (as opposed to zero of their Dem counterparts) voted AGAINST the bill. And the House is even more anti-immigration; they won’t even consider comprehensive reform. Failure to pass immigration reform is on the GOP, not Obama.
