It takes money and many times years to legally come into our Country and gain citizenship. The people that went through the hurdles then sit back and watch us hand the key to the city to those that ignored our laws. Plus; we give financial aid to those that did not earn our help! Many times the legal immigrants watch the illegal ones take their jobs.

absolutely. O holds the door and the R's fund it. They are also eligable for legal aid in my area. It is no wonder they come. In the last funding bill, 1.7 billion was alloted to fund the 2018 wave of illegals expected to arrive at the border. Absurd.

One can quibble about not doing mass deportations, but it's disingenuous to prepend that the policy change hasn;t been effective or punitive to illegals.

If you want to justify his policy as making it easier to prosecute 2nd offenders then do that while admitting the fact that deportations are NOT up under him.

Obama and his surrogates are claiming deportations are up under him. They are not. Deportations of people already here are down nearly in half.

Stop excusing Obama's lies. Obama can lie, because you attack the truth tellers.

If you include turn aways under Bush as deportations like Obama does, then deportations are not up under Obama.

Obama is point blank lying and you are sheepishly justifying the lie. He can lie, and lie, and lie - distorting reality....because you encourage it through your actions.
