Because, you see, it didn’t fit the narrative. The Obama Story is that illegal immigrants are just 100% swell folks and only an evil, wicked, bad, raaaacist Republican could want something other than amnesty. This bit of nonsense, of course, is not actually directed at Texans or, indeed, at immigrants. It is for the consumption of (mostly white) liberals along the east and west coast who want to feel superior…and are quite willing to wreck everything except their own gated, carefully guarded, mostly white enclaves to do it (they really don’t care if emergency rooms are over-run with illegals; that welfare is drained by illegals; that schools are overburdened by illegals…these rich liberals don’t use the same hospitals and schools you do, and don’t need welfare…though, of course, a cushy, government job with a fat paycheck for no work is fine…).

Obama is just playing to his base – trying to make it seem like he’s doing the ultra-liberal thing when he knows that he can’t do it while the GOP holds the House (and a round dozen Democrat Senators are at risk of being defeated next year). Come January, you won’t hear much about this – maybe a mention at the Convention speech, but for Obama 2011 is for locking down the base, 2012 is for suckering the swing voters; and, so, no effort in the liberal cause that year.

The truth of what is going on is, however, in that picture…with the signs written in English and Spanish, all of them asserting the crisis we are in…and the crisis Obama is ignoring in favor of playing politics.
