Do YOU keep track of every single one of your blood relatives and give them money if they need it or make sure they're not a criminal? I didn't think so.
I know where every one of my aunts and uncles live and the general living conditions. Unless she's some kind of aunt of a second cousin or some distant relative, I can't see how there can be any excuse for allowing her to live impoverished when he has so much -- and talks about "sharing".

Looking at our tanking economy...............methinks that Obama will backpedal very quickly.

Boy what a decision. Risk losing all those votes or the economy for the American people.

I'm not sure which way he'll go.

Half their family members translates to half the population of Mexico.

I know of what you speak of there.

My bio 'mother' I disassociated myself from well over 20 years ago due to her mental illness (paranoid schizophrenia) and the failure of the mental health system to keep her under lock and key. She may have; read that probably has committed several crimes including Felonies--------and, I want nothing to do with that woman. Too; I am not 100% sure if she is still even alive.

Frankly: who gives a hoot about the pro illegal 'Hispanic' lobby? Obama will have to answer to the American Black population and many other advocacy groups who have a vested interest in keeping illegals out.

I think it could easily be that. Just one guy I know would like to bring his two kids and his elderly parents. That's 4 for just one person. Another guy is working here -- the oldest of 12 kids and he would like to bring in all his siblings because a couple need medical care, one brother already has a child of his own, and there's his mom too, she's widowed. Life back home is not as easy and they're mostly living off his remittance money now.

The politicians understand this when they talk about family reunification. They know it's many many people.

Flip side:

If this keeps up; the USA may move to annex Mexico, one state at a time---------meaning that American law and mores would prevail. Which would spell the death knell of Spanish, etc.
