While neither presidential candidate will come clean with the American people and tell them where they really stand on illegal immigration, recent signs in Spanish ( see video below) appearing all over Los Angeles Latino neighborhoods promise Sen. Barack Obama will end all raids on illegal aliens!

Ha ha ha. Who are they talking to in that sign? The ones who need this treatment can't even vote.

Or do they vote?

There's going to be some problems in Los Angeles this November.

If they get a driver's license as Obama's supporters are seeking, they will be able to vote.

Obama needs to be very careful pandering to the illegal Hispanics-----------otherwise the man will alienate our American Blacks.

He MIGHT even alienate a few NON-blacks, as well.....I don't care how you 'shake it', at some point, if you're 'pandering' to those who aren't supposed to be here, then by definition, you're snubbing those who ARE supposed to be here...and that's a VERY risky position to take for one who's 'applying for a job' (the job of president)....essentially you're asking for votes from those you're planning to snub, once they vote you in. It's like saying "loan me some money, so I can use it to hire an attorney, who will then help me sue you". Brilliant.

If Obama was smart, he'd lie about it....swear before ALL of us that he'd "control illegal immigration", and then simply 'go back on his word' once he was securely installed in the White House. That's how the REAL politicians do it.

Yes not only that but Texas has gleefully shipped 1.3 million illegals back to Mexico this year alone! Guess that voting base is not so sound afterall. I love it when we actually enforce our laws, come legally and all is good.

How true! Most politicians simply feed the sheeple what they want to hear; then, renege on their promises once in office. Strangely, it’s now as though our current presidential nominees are more concerned with appealing to illegal aliens and their supporters, than the majority of legal citizens in this country.

Given the fact that these people cannot ‘legally’ vote, it defies logic for politicians to continue to pander. Perhaps they think most citizens will be so preoccupied with gas prices and the economy, that no one will care about illegal immigration.

Default Obama has promised an end to raids and amnesty

If you type "obama + Immigration raids" in Google you will find many different articles where he or his wife say they will end immigration raids.

Simple solution to . . . "end the raids on illegals" is for the Illegals to GO HOME and enter the country LEGALLY!

Sorry, but ending the raids would be equal to releasing all the other Common Criminals such as Rapists, Murderers and Child Molesters.
