Obama Breaks Promises To Hispanics
Not that this is a bad thing for US...but again, he proves to be a pandering dolt for the vote and it's long past time that politicians are elected who will say 'No more' and mean it. The border can be closed and it's time that it was. Places of employment can be tasked to follow law on the broader scale, too and hell, I'd volunteer time, myself.
Voting Present on Illegal Immigration
Immigration activists and Hispanic groups are demanding that President Obama deliver on his promised comprehensive package of immigration reform.
Already, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has derided federal sweeps of illegal aliens as "un-American." And recently the Obama administration stripped the federal authority of Arizona's controversial Maricopa County sheriff, Joe Arpaio, to make immigration arrests.
Yet expect the public to oppose any so-called comprehensive immigration reform even more vehemently than it did George Bush's 2007 doomed proposals.
Why?
Conditions on the ground have changed drastically in the last two years
First, the nation's unemployment is now over 9 percent. It may be peak beyond 10 percent. In many western states, such as California, the jobless rate may climb even higher.
The old notion that "illegal immigrants pick the lettuce that Americans refuse to" is an ossified stereotype. In fact, today less than one out of 20 illegal aliens currently do farm labor. Most are engaged in construction or the service industry, or are homemakers with childcare responsibilities. While plenty of unemployed American citizens may still not yet wish to pick oranges, the jobless might consider taking jobs like hammering nails or working in restaurants.
