She supports enforcement, but not any specific kind that is actually done.
Meanwhile, in the other thread, Reid urged the President to end deportations by executive order. I’m not sure what nuance there is in “ending deportations”.
Key quote:

Yep. But no, Democrats want to pass a law and then decry its enforcement. It’s a game, but it’s their usual MO. They must hide their true beliefs from the public.
Well, that’s just not true at all. You could support a huge fence, with land mines and guard dogs, but oppose deportation for people already in the country.
Perhaps, but I don’t see any Democrats in favor of that either. At best, they’ve voted for it when under electoral pressure, but they make clear their distaste for it.
Also, that’s a serious loophole. Imagine if other laws worked that way, you could only be arrested if caught in the act. Otherwise, you already did it, it’s done, you’re free to go. It’s a big enough loophole that it does in fact constitute non-enforcement.
Do you have any idea how many thousands of veterans became eligible for VA benefits during the last five years? And that the biggest group of them are Vietnam veterans who were not eligible for VA benefits until a change in regulations on how presumption of connection to Agent Orange exposure was promulgated by Shinseki?
Are you suggesting that VA benefits should not have increased during the last five years, and the nation would be better off?
Of course you aren’t, because you’re an intellectual coward who is too lazy to bother himself with any facts. That’s why you thought all the polls were wrong in 2012, that’s why you don’t understand that aging veterans are eligible for more benefits today than they were five years ago, and that’s why you are an idiotic political hack who makes Rush Limbaugh look like George Will in terms of being able to put forward cogent arguments.
Continuing adaher’s “Why be wrong most of the time, when with a little extra effort you can be wrong all of the time?” philosophy:
Nancy Pelosi (Sept. 7, 1991): When I said to the president that he should fire Michael Brown, he said, “Why would I do that?” I said, “Because of all that went wrong, with all that didn’t go right last week.” And he said, “What didn’t go right?”
Well, you didn’t get that from George W. Bush. His M.O. was to deny that anything was a problem. He didn’t say “I just learned about this from the press and now I’ll try to fix it,” he said “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job”, he pardoned Scooter Libby, and I don’t know if he ever even mentioned waterboarding at Guantanamo.
I tell ya, there is no one more consistently outraged about the administration than Barack Obama. He’s going to go down in history as the President who spent more time fighting his own administration than the Republicans or foreign enemies.
I wonder why his people are serving him so poorly? I thought they loved him.
