So some progress over the Bush Administration at least!

----------------------
Hardly. Even if it were true that Obama was deporting more people than Bush, he then goes and dictates amnesty and work permits for "young illegals". In other words, Obama is a raging hypocrite. But then again, what else is new?

Bush sure wasn't turning them away though. His constituents had a nice little migrant workforce going for a awhile on the taxpayer's dime. Health insurance? Schooling? Food? No problem. We got this! LOL!

Of course now at this stage the Dems recognize but there's a whole lot of votes should there be amnesty. That's not right either but unfortunately understandable given we're talking about a voting block of 20 million or so new Dems.

You kinda wish Republicans would have thought of that before allowing that crime on the taxpayers to go on so long. Oh well, I think we can both agree that the whole thing is a mess.

The question is why do any of our politicians have to thumb their noses at our immigration laws in order to gain the Hispanic vote?

I don't get it either. Especially IF the Dems "grew a pair" and told the illegal aliens NO amnesty to protect blue collar Americans; who will the pro amnesty people like many Hispanics are vote for, it sure WON'T be the Repubs with their rep.

Drunken Joe Biden. Not a man whose opinions are worthy of consideration.

Uh: "American" by itself means a US citizen ONLY. Like a Mexican is a citizen of Mexico and so on.

What makes this batch of "illegals" so much worse than the murderous ones who landed on the shores hundreds of years ago?
