Better stop, turn around and look down. You dropped your brain again.
We make our own immigration laws just every other country in the world does. Why should we consult with another country about ours? I didn't see Mexico consulting with us about theirs.

Too bad that the Mexican economy depends on money sent back by "immigrants" and I use that word loosley. I am sure that Obama isn't there talking about legal immigrants from Mexico.


Our economy does not depend on illegal immigrant labor. Only the greedy employers wanting more profit do. In the meantime we have 23 million Americans out of work and no, illegals for the most part aren't doing jobs that Americans won't do.

Obama shouldn't be discussing this issue at all with Mexico other than telling them that their citizens in our country illegally will be deported as our laws state. Now whose brain has dropped?

President Obama does seem to think theres more talent in other countries, than the American people. We constantly hear about the jobs Americans won't do.....this is because they've convinced kids and parents that picking fruit was below the American children......... instead all kids should go to college and be in debt or have their parents support them.

I know.
It drives me bonkers that the US was absolutely perfect until January 2009.

It wasnt so long ago that we invaded, and stole, their land. Or do you believe Jesus made Texas for white people?
You really need to learn your history... American settlers settled in mexico and were victimized by Santa Anna. A war was fought as has happened since the dawn of man and Santa Anna gave Texas to the Republic of Texas, (not the United States) in order to save his own neck.

Incidently, Mexicans did not originally occupy Mexico.. Indians did, and it was stolen from the indians. The land was stolen from them by the Spaniards. To include California, Arizona and New Mexico..

The moron told them their gun problems were created by us.. Now think about that statement.. The Village Idiot of the United States let's guns walk to Mexico and he blames legal gun owners and manufacturers for the incompetence of his government to enforce existing laws..

It is without a doubt that this individual is the slimiest bastard to ever sit in the Oval Office..

You said what I was thinking. After listening to the video of his apologies for America, and to hear we are responsible for the violence in Mexico, my first thought was we can't get this idiot out of office soon enough. I think we deserve a President who doesn't hate America.

I couldn't help but think of the border murders by Mexico's drug cartels, how the illegal immigrants stole from, defaced and destroyed American farms on the border on their way to freedom. And he says we are the ones to blame.

Get over yourself.
Just as a point of clarity: receiving a paycheck entails signing the back of a paycheck, not the front. In your example, the entity signing the front of Obama's paycheck was the Univerisity of Chicago. The poster's point was that Obama has never been an employer, only an employee.

Darth Barry is doing nothing more than continuing his dreadful apology tour for how sovereign our country is and how it should be brought down to the level of other countries. It comes down only to that.

You may want to prepare yourself for more democratic presidents in the future. The country is going in that direction as more and more people embrace the inclusiveness of the democrats and shy away from the embarrassment that (generally) the current Republican Party is.
