Obama: Opponents of Immigration Reform Are "Demagogues"
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 12:02 PM
From his speech in Guadalajara on Monday:
There are going to be demagogues out there who try to suggest that any form of pathway for legalization for those who are already in the United States is unacceptable. And those are fights that I'd have to have if my poll numbers are at 70 or if my poll numbers are at 40. That's just the nature of the U.S. immigration debate.

Immigration
I believe that there is nothing we can do with mexican illegal immigrants in America right now. But the one thing i think we can prevent is more illegal immigrants from coming over. I believe that it would be wrong if we just gave them amnesty for they have not earned it especially when others have immigrated legally and have waited years to get citizenship. Considering that most are very hard working we have no right to say that there taking away jobs when honestly what lazy American is going to go work in the fields and in the conditions that they work in. One thing we can do is tighten up border patrol to prevent more from coming over but i think we should just let who ever made it across stay.

Immigration
I think there is not much we can do about making illegal's go back to Mexico and get their green card. They are gonna stay here if we give them amnesty or not.
People keep complaining that they are taking away jobs from Americans, but even if we somehow got illegal's out of this country what American citizen is actually gonna get up off his/her butt to actually do that job.
I'm not saying that i am happy with how many illegal immigrants are in this country but they are doing the jobs that most people wouldn't do even if they got paid more than the illegal's did.
Once again I'm going to say...they aren't going anywhere.

Well
Just call me a demagogue.

What you can do
1. The headline is wrong. When BHO referred to demagogues he wasn't referring to all opponents, just those like Dobbs and Rush; he's said worse about both in the past, even if this site hasn't noticed it.

2. The chances of BHO reading comments here is very slim indeed. So, if anyone wants to actually do something about this issue, go to a townhall and ask something effective:

Anyone
regardless of either of the stupid political parties who votes in favour of an amnesty or any other lying name they call it (comprehensive immigration "reform")is a traitor in the truest sense.

As a legal Immigrant
Who married a U.S. Army officer had 3 kids had o pass a naturalization test, an aids test, a personal background test, then got a green card for three years, and then became a citizen I say how dare they lower the standard to let undocumented become legal citizens without sending them home first to go through what I went through? I say equality is the great leveler for the law. This is just like the joker Obama, a joke! that's what he is, he continually behaves as if he is making a great case for his own jailment for "treason to the state"

What you peasants think is immaterial. There's a worker's paradise waiting to be implemented. And the more people living here who know how to sickle wheat, the better.

Demogogue
I looked it up in the "Official Liberal Democrat
handbook". It means " American Citizen".

As Reagan would say
"There you go again." Insulting the voters by calling them demagogues. Brilliant (NOT!)! This guy WAS brilliant in getting himself elected POTUS with no resume at all. His governance, however, is looking increasingly unwise and juvenile.

The really downside of this is it puts us at more risk. As Obama marginalizes himself with his people and loses his "mandate," our enemies may perceive weakness in the CiC and decide a window may have opened.

Legal basis?
Is there actually a legal basis for The President of the United States to pardon, in mass, millions of non-citizen criminals?

I know the left ignores the laws of the nation; but still...
Don writes: Friday, August, 14, 2009 12:41 PM
obama is a traitor
There should be no legalization for those that broke our laws. Rewarding illegals with legalization is TREASON. obama continues to prove that America's sovereignty and security are not his priority. The enemy within!
Reset writes: Friday, August, 14, 2009 12:39 PM
Anyone noticed the common thread?
The healthcare bill is about controlling every aspect of everyone's lives. If Obama controlled your healthcare, how could you vote against him? His allies would say "Republicans are going to take your healthcare away" and many would be fearful to vote against his party.

If illegal immigrants were allowed instant access to citizenship despite breaking the law, that also means they'd also recieve instant access to the ballot box, and who do you think they would vote for?

If Obama couldn't get his way in the healthcare bill and can't get votes from American citizens, he wants to import votes in the form of illegal immigrants.

Of course.....
...it should not be lost on us that he is saying these things IN MEXICO...TO MEXICANS. Why not just invite them all to the White House for a cerveza....?

He needs more illegals cuz he's already alienated all Americans with a brain....and quite a few without one.....
deerhunter writes: Friday, August, 14, 2009 12:33 PM
Nonsense!
It's just the opposite.
Americans onto this administration's Alinsky 'Rules for radicals' tactics.

No amount of loony left, anti-American, violent, fascist, raving, drooling propaganda can save them now.
What a bunch of brain dead, useful idiot, zombie/slaves.
Darth Soros must be proud.

....when your poll numbers are zero, son, cuz that's where they're headed....!
