Summary
This document appears to be page 17 of a House Oversight briefing or report summarizing President Obama's policy stances and recent diplomatic activities around late 2011. It covers three main topics: Immigration (border enforcement and reform), Israel/Palestine (peace process frustrations, pre-1967 borders, and a candid hot-mic comment to Sarkozy about Netanyahu), and China (currency policy criticism at the APEC summit). The document bears a House Oversight Bates stamp.

Immigration/borders: Obama insists that enacting comprehensive
immigration reform, which would likely include a path to citizenship
for at least some illegal immigrants already in the United States, is
still a "top priority," but with little congressional enthusiasm for such
a measure, it has been pushed to the back burner for now.
Meanwhile, deportations of illegal immigrants are continuing at a
record pace, though the administration touts the fact that a higher
percentage of those deported have criminal records.

Obama has substantially increased the number of agents patrolling
the U.S.-Mexico border, but has also mocked the fence-building
enthusiasm of Republicans, saying they won't be happy until there's a
"moat with alligators."

Israel/Palestine: Obama's engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian
peace process has probably been the most frustrating foreign-policy
initiative of his presidency and the one on which he is most often
criticized by his Republican opponents. Obama continues to support
negotiations on a two-state settlement of the conflict, but his best-
remembered statement on the topic is controversial: his suggestion
that Israel's pre-1967 war borders be taken as a starting point for
negotiations, a position fiercely opposed by Israel. More recently, the
administration has confirmed that it will veto Palestine's statehood
bid in the U.N. Security Council.
