Obama doesn't need to "woo" hispanics! He won 66% of their votes and he will probably get the same amount in 2012.

Demographic of your typical illegal shows very little formal education (5-8th grade max) so they will always need government help.

So your hands off approach will eventually come back to haunt you in your paycheck.
Yea, maybe.

But then, so what? These dumb ass wars are haunting me in my paycheck now, and i can't seem to do anything about it. Besides, which government programs? I have no issues with many government programs anyway. Especially the ones that help American citizens.

He should take lessons from Perry, since he was successful at wooing them.

Issued July 8, 2011 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

"Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (9.1 percent), adult women (8.0 percent), teenagers (24.5 percent), whites (8.1 percent), blacks (16.2 percent), and Hispanics (11.6 percent) showed little or no change in June."

Employment Situation Summary


I think the Hispanic wooing should involve jobs, just like everybody else he's not wooing. The Obama policy on jobs is when in doubt, have a meeting. Follow it up with a conference. Then make a speech about forming a committee to study it. Meanwhile, he's doing nothing positive to change the employment environment and in many ways he's been actively killing it. This is what you get when you hire someone with no executive experience to run a country. Their expertise is talking about problems not doing something about them.

Actually, you should be very concerned. "Immigration Reform" is buzz word for Mass Amnesty. Does that not bother you?

Ever.

He needs to handle the budget before pandering for votes.

Would you be referring to votes for Obama.

As for Amnesty, doesn't matter as to whether i'm for it or not. We aren't going to deport 12 to 20 million illegals. That's the reality, and i tend to live in the real world.
Is that huge number kind of like the too big to fail businesses of all kinds? Do you really think we can't or won't deport all those illegals?

You want to create another 20million citizens, many of whom will be on some of the welfare programs? I don't understand that, at all. Deportation may cost a pile of money but it would only be one time if we don't allow them to come back in.
