Obama hints at amnesty for illegal immigrants - Austin Business Journal:

Americans are ready for it ??????

snippet:
"“What’s also been acknowledged is that the 12 million or so undocumented workers are here — who are not paying taxes in the ways that we’d like them to be paying taxes, who are living in the shadows, that is a group that we have to deal with in a practical, common-sense way,” Obama said after the meeting. “And I think the American people are ready for us to do so. But it’s going to require some heavy lifting, it’s going to require a victory of practicality and common sense and good policy making over short-term politics. That’s what I’m committed to doing as president.”

I hope they won't move this to the illegal forum. It is politics - so I think it's a relevant topic here as well - and I'd like to see some comments from those who don't usually visit there.

Anyhow, PLEASE no amnesty. PLEASE. I'm begging. Just enforce the laws. NO welfare for illegals, penalize the employers who hire them, make them-self deport. Verify legal status every time someone gets arrested for ANY crime or even if they're stopped for a traffic violation. If they're illegal, out they go.

THAT is the way to address illegals. We shouldn't reward criminals leeching off those of us who have a right to be here.

Pure political mumbo jumbo, 12 million is a very low number and he knows it. He's not fooling anyone with this BS. Let him try to give these crooks citizenship now so that his party can be booted out of office so the other party can come in and do the same as the current smooth talker. We need a third party now!

Well, none of that is going to happen. You may well end up here wishing that you had taken the deal that was on the table two years ago. Life's like that sometimes...

The Americans said no deal, and guess what? No deal. Many scumbag lawyer power jobs in congress had their butts in a bind, fearing they would lose their jobs and be forced to chase ambulances again. Obama is waiting for the right moment to do again what the American citizen does not want him to do. He'll wait till the next congressional elections to see what the outcome is, one way or the other.

That man is a no good SOB who is giving America away as fast as he can. I can only hope his plane crashes or something similiar happens to him before he does too much damage to this country.

Amnesty for illegals, what a joke! Boy and girls it's only going to get worse! Shame on you that voted for this POS!

REP could eat the dems alive with his crap.

The majority of real Americans DO NOT WANT amnesty.

We want them all deported and take Obama with them.

Come on people, how long are we really going to sit back and watch this man tear this country apart like this?

Sure he wants more illegals here so he can hand out free health care to them all and let them bring us all of their diseases.

Deport all the illegals, Obama and those who voted for him so we can have America back.
