I think those Pew Research stats are questionable at best and fraudulent at worst. The stats are based on what various government agencies report and those reports are extremely lacking in authenticity. According to the "boots on the ground" personnel along the Mexican border, there has been no real decrease in illegal entries into the U.S. by either Mexican or "OTM's". The DHS has consistently downplayed the seriousness of the border incursions in order to divert public attention from our seriously lacking security on the border. This is just more Obama "Razzle-Dazzle".

Isn't it funny (NOT), that Obama trots out his "fame" as president of the Harvard Law Review and that he taught constitutional law? However, he has not produced even one sheet of documentation to show his collegiate records. In fact, he has spent millions to hide those records from public view.

Cooperster, Be sure your brain is in gear before your hand goes writing or your mouth gets operating. Your comment about Valerie Plame being a "covert" agent shows your ignorance, thus placing your entire commentary in jeopardy. She was no more a "covert" agent than I am. Not only that, but she was "outed" by Richard Armitage, a Democrat, not anyone attached to the Bush Administration.

That "Buffett Rule" is a total farce. Did anyone check Obama's tax return to see if he checked that little box indicating he was voluntarily submitting more money than he was legally obliged to to the IRS? If he is advocating that the "rich" should be paying more, he should be leading by example, shouldn't he? Likewise, with his major "big bucks" backer, Warren Buffett. I wonder if Mr. Buffett is checking that same little box and voluntarily offering to pay more than he is required to. Note: I doubt it, as it is on record that a number of companies that Buffett owns are fighting, tooth and nail, to avoid paying some $300 million in back taxes they owe.

I take some issue with you, Neal, about the "photos" of Trayvon. You mention that you weren't too pleased with the photo of Trayvon in his "hoodie". However, how fair do you think the main stream media was when they published the photo of Trayvon in his red jersey (at age 12-13 and so innocent looking) instead of a photo of his size today? And, of course, the msm had to publish a "mug shot" style photo of Zimmerman to make him appear more menacing. Tell me THAT trick wasn't a bit of bias on behalf of the main stream media.

Naah, Obama wouldn't utilize pig poop methane. It's against his Muslim religion.

For your information, William4518, illegal aliens DO vote in our national, state and local elections, by the thousands. If you believe that they don't, you're sadly misinformed. I know because before I retired, I worked with a U.S. Customs Contraband Enforcement Team and our team confiscated and destroyed literally thousands of voter I.D. cards from illegal aliens.

Actually, the biggest supporters of segregation were all Democrats!

Of course, the Democrats are terrified of requiring I.D. for voters. After all, people like Congressman Luis Gutierrez wouldn't have been elected if dead people and illegal aliens were blocked from voting in Illinois. This has nothing to do with "disenfranchisement of poor and black voters" and has everything to do with conducting a clean and honest election by real, living and confirmed American citizens.

When it comes to voting fraud, all one has to do is to obtain a copy of J. Christian Adam's book, "Injustice, Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department". It gives revealing details on how the "Civil Rights" Department, under Holder's direction, has played a major part in intimidating people who are not part of a "minority" from filing complaints of voter intimidation. It should outrage anyone who believes in the rule of law.
