Alberto Gonzales Calls Obamas Immigration Move Political
by Ashley Alderman | June 16, 2012

Reacting publicly for the first time, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is criticizing the timing of President Barack Obama's new immigration policy announcement. Gonzalez, the first Latino attorney general, calls the policy move both "political" and "well short of what we need as a country."
The policy shift, announced yesterday, will allow some children of illegal immigrants to stay in the United States if they meet certain requirements.
Gonzales, who is an outspoken advocate of immigration reform, said he has a problem with the move both substantively and procedurally. Substantively, he says it fails to deal with securing the border, visa over-stayers, enforcing tougher work place enforcement, and the millions of adults that came into the country illegally as adults.
Procedurally, Gonzales says it's bad timing because it's being done during what he calls "political silly season". "Rightly or wrongly, it is viewed as political, given the fact that we're in a election season, and this is something that he could have done, certainly, well before now," he said.

Because whenever anyone thinks about Gonzales, they think incompetence. At least Fredo didn't accuse President Obama of being in over his head.
