Immigration Reform: The New Civil Rights Movement?

What busy little D's, including Obama, we have here. Interesting that he seems more interested in this, than un-employment within the Black community, which we're always told is unacceptably high. Guess there are no new votes to be had by taking on that.

That is why Representative Luis V. Gutierrez, a Democrat from Mr. Obama’s hometown, Chicago, has been on the road most weekends since last December, traveling far outside his district to meetings in Hispanic churches, hoping to generate something like a civil rights movement in favor of broad immigration legislation.

And the goal? Twelve million, or more new Obama voters. What else?

While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country’s immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

President Obama is making difficult choices. Some segment of our society needs to be disaffected and completely shut out of employment so that they will join the ACORN brownshirt leagues and the domestic army ObamaCorps. Barack knows first hand who the best radicals are, and all that's needed is some serious stoking up of the anger.

70% or greater unemployment outta do the job. And if they don't join, Barack will make another state of exception, respond to the violence and reinforce his claim on increasingly absolute executive rule. Just read your Alinsky - it's all in there.

When the unemployment checks stop the unemployed are going to want the busboy jobs and the construction jobs that the illegals have now. That's when the fighting will start.

What makes it so difficult for Mexicans to come to the US legally? I've never seen anything explaining that. Is it Mexico or the US that makes it so difficult that it's easier to do it illegally?

The Mexicans I know work hard, live frugally, take care of each other. They get married, have families, buy property, start businesses. What's not to like? I'm not sure why we assume that Hispanic immigrants will be Democrats. Perhaps that is generally true at the moment but I don't see why Hispanic voters couldn't be won by the Republicans. The Republicans had better figure out how to do it.

Jeanie sounds too slick by a quarter. She doesn't, for just one of the many examples that could be provided, factor into the equation that millions of Mexicans inside the U.S. gives their government a great deal of power inside our country, and that would only get worse if there were "reform" (which would also result in more people coming here illegally).

Anyway, just in case there's even just one person out there who wants to actually do something about this, here's how to do it:

What's sad/ironic here is that many of the people who'll simply whine about this issue without actually doing something are also getting involved in the "tea parties", completely oblivious to the fact that the people pulling the strings on those events support massive immigration.

It's possible that Obama is throwing illegal immigrants under the bus. They have pushed his Highness too hard and so he's letting them run their agenda while knowing it will be defeated. Then he'll be off the hook to them for a while and it will be their fault.

How arrogant it is for these burglars in our home (which is what illegal alien work thieves are, no matter how well the Mexican ones "take care of each other" as Jeanie posted above) to insist that they be adopted into the family.

And the white burglars can be sent home first for all I care. Deport every last one of them and let them take the anchor babies with them. It seems the illegal aliens don't want their anchor kids in the "old country." They don't produce any government welfare checks there.

"--- for all we know obama might be a illegal immigrant like his anut ---"

And some folks will be a deeper shade of blue than the deep blue sea before any evidence of Obama's being an anchor baby/non-citizen-by-birth turns up.

As for Latino immigrants: if unemployment hits 40% or greater, I think they'll head back south of the border.

Well if you don't like the people, just fire them and elect a new one.

Citizens are mere speedbumps on the path to power, easily covered over with enough imported material.
