We all know why the right changed their minds.
The President has nailed down the Hispanic vote with todays speach giving waivers to illegal immagrants who have lived their whole lives here,stayed out of trouble and where educated here with our tax money.In spite of the moron heckler I think this is a great idea that even the right wing supported at one time and that will put them on the defensive trying to explain why they changed their minds.
We all know why the right changed their minds.It is politically popular to bash immagrants in hard times.During the great depression the marijuana tax act was passed to drive away Mexicans who loved to smoke pot.
If the President wins over Hispanics then it is going to be hard to beat him in several swing states like Colorado,Nevada,NM or even some far right wing states with big hispanic population.
I think this is a smart move that may force Romney to distance Himself from His political base and hurt Him this fall.
Not only was it a brilliant move, but it is the right thing to do.
A couple of weeks ago I met a bartender in Puerto Vallarta who had recently graduated from college with degrees in anthropology and art. His parents were illegals when they brought him to the US when he was young.
Long story short, he worked his way through college and his parents helped pay for his college. He was working. Had his own apartment and a car. He was stopped for a ticket and soon found himself in jail with other illegals. Eventually they dumped them all on the street in Tijuana. He has been writing letters and trying to find a way back to the country where he grew up. Hopefully this executive order will help him return. Why would America not want good, honest, motivated people who have contributed to their adopted country?

Unbelievable. The neighbor kid of mine came here as a todler. His mom was from Mexico and eventually married an American. He was with some friends who knowned to him had broken some law. Since he was with them they all were arrested. They almost sent the kid back ti Mexico, a country he doesn't remember and cannot doesn't even speak Spanish..
his situation wouldn't change under this decree.
Yes it would.
maybe obama will convince the blue collar whites that Obama is against them and they will abandon voting for his hype and blame nonsense because obama is going to pander to minorities and try to get illegal immigrants to vote for him
vote fraud is Oblamer's best chance of retaining an office he never was qualified in the first place
Can anyone name the legal authority authorizing President Obama's action in this case?

this may result. not so much because of democratic party action as republican party opposition to hispanic issuesAnd solidify Hispanic loyalty to the Democratics for a generation.
yes, but it was the beginning of the end of the democratic stranglehold on government; one it held since the days of FDRIn the 1960s the American black vote swung to the Democrats because northern Democrats stood with the civil rights movement.
let's see how marco rubio's political future plays outSince then to the present its seen as practically treason for blacks to support republicans. Today not only are Republicans not standing with the Hispanic immigrant community, they are treating them as enemies of America. The Hispanic community represents a much larger voting block than blacks did. If Romney doesn't win in 2012 it could be a long time before we see another GOP POTUS especially if the growing Hispanic community tips the scales in Southwestern red states and turn them blue like Texas and Arizona.
yes, executive order

are you saying the POTUS has NO authority whatsoever to make any executive decisions?
is the GOP gonna try to impeach him for giving the children of illegal immigrants a helping hand?
