You're kidding, right? He has made it as plain as day through his own words that he wants amnesty for these illegal aliens.

It's pretty obvious that he's for unlimited illegal immigration and for big amnesties. He definitely intends to reward those who have no respect for our laws some very big rewards. And Obama cannot be stupid enough to not realize that amnesties only invite many more to come to get in on them.

Except it ain't broke. Our laws need to be enforced on the books and our borders secured.

There is nothing to fix if nothing was broken in the first place.

Agreed, nothing wrong with the system, just the enforcement of the system!

They have no legitimate “claim” to minimize. So, why would I need help in minimizing ZERO?

Outrageous! Black Americans were originally brought here in chains and the vast majority of them remained enslaved until the Civil War, during which they were granted their "freedom" and lived under Jim Crow for another hundred years before finally gaining the rights to which they were entitled all along.

For illegal alien CRIMINALS to compare their situation with THAT is a sickening slap in the face to people who fought (and sometimes DIED) to ensure civil rights for Black Americans.

Which "claim" are you refering to? Their claim to a higer education or their claim of adopting Dr. King's non-violent protest ideals?

So if a group adopts Dr. King's ideal of non-violent protest, then applies that ideal, then thier claim of adpoting the practice is not ligitimate? How does that work?

Neither, it is their claim that the plight of illegals is the same as the plight of Black Americans of which MLK fought to change that they are wrong about.
