I'll admit it right up front .. someone close to me purchased this book when it first came out and I wasn't very happy about it.
Since that time I have found it invaluable when pointing out the hypocrisies of Barack Hussein Obama!
With all the threats coming from the White House on the move for amnesty, I thought that the following snippets from the book, in Obama's own words would prove enlightening!
Quote:
"There's no denying that many blacks share the same anxieties as many whites about the wave of illegal immigration flooding our Southern border — a sense that what's happening now is fundamentally different from what has gone on before."
"Not all these fears are irrational."
"The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century."
"If this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers provides some benefits to the economy as a whole — especially by keeping our workforce young, in contrast to an increasingly geriatric Europe and Japan — it also threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net."
"Native-born Americans suspect that it is they, and not the immigrant, who are being forced to adapt."
"And if I'm honest with myself, I must admit that I'm not entirely immune to such nativist sentiments.
When I see Mexican flags waved at pro-immigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic resentment.
When I'm forced to use a translator to communicate with the guy fixing my car, I feel a certain frustration."
Not really. He hours on to say
But ultimately the danger to our way of life is not that we will be overrun by those who do not look like us or do not yet speak our language. The danger will come if we fail to recognize the humanity of Cristina and her family-- if we withhold from them the rights and opportunities that we take for granted, and tolerate the hypocrisy of a servant class in our midst; or more broadly, if we stand idly by as America continues to become increasingly unequal, an inequality that tracks racial lines and therefore feeds racial strife and which, as the country becomes more black and brown, neither our democracy nor our economy can long withstand. That's not the future I want for Cristina, I said to myself as I watched her and her family wave good-bye. That's not the future I want for my daughters.
He layer said America it's big enough to accommodate all of their dreams. Sounds hypocritical given deportation numbers but is on pat with things like the Dream act.
Black people I think dislike illegal immigration more than most groups. Maybe they can recognize the exploitation of the illegals better than anyone? Isn't being an illegal in this country a lot like being a slave? No rights, no protections, no benefits? And making fat, white Americans rich through their hard work?

I have an issue with rewarding criminals for criminal behavior. Criminal alien cases are one place we actually should use asset forfeiture to seize the property gained by criminal behavior. Right before deportation.
