Barack Obama made headlines Friday as he stated that his administration will no longer deport young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. when they were children. His announcement, as expected, was met with part-joy and part-skepticism -- as well as a heckler who constantly kept interrupting the president as he spoke.
"These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they're friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper," the president said in his speech Friday morning. But he was also quick to add that this is not a permanent answer. "This is not amnesty. This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship... It's not a permanent fix," Obama said. Do you think the U.S. should stop deporting young immigrants?
As for deporting the youth, I think is rather just a right down mean-spirited think to do. Most of the youth are here for educational purposes. To just deport someone because you say they're illigal is telliing everyone else of the world that we dislike people becuase you're different and don't belong. But then again, this is the history of America.
Welfare? How many undocumented immigrants take advantage of welfare? And if you consider spending a night or two in the hospital and then running away after receiving the bill as healthcare, then it's no wonder Obamacare is now law of the land.
This society is broken and it has little to do with illegals, drugs, or corporations. We are still the wealthiest, still the strongest, yet we constantly worry about our future...why? The people have spoken, and they just don't give a damn..unless their problem can be confined to one or two powerless bogeymen.
And Frankly ANYONE that did not vote YES on this is a communist and you can go to france, russia or China and find out what it is you are really backing and get 1st hand knowledge of what it is you are supporting. Cause they ARE stealing YOUR identity, OUR money for education, our money for healthcare. IN their counties we would not even be allowed back to our country if we didn't pay our bill. They siphon off billions every year if not every month, steal our money and hurt our economy in every way poss. And that is a fact. They would not even be allowed to stand up the way they have in this country and even the Pres. of Mexico would not be allow to talk the way he did in our country back in mexico. If the people cannot do it legally then there IS NOTHING that will ever change the fact that they are ILLEGALS period. Hope that they steal your identity and have YOU going to jail for what they did. They broke dozens of rules and laws and they will only be like a spoiled kids and keep wanting us to pay them more and more.
This is treason on obama's part and not constitutional at all so it cannot stand. Send them all to gitmo and send all the dems and some of the repulicans and others.
Probably by not going into 2 foolish wars and anticipating 2-3 more. I'd be a little more understanding if we were pillaging the damn places. But we're no neo-viking horde. Just neo-cons.
I do think allowing children, who were innocent when brought to this country, should be given a honest chance to finish school and live as productive Americans.
I am not clear as to whether this allowance is for children already her in this country? or any that come in the future? (As usual, SH Obama haters are jumping on this as anti-American which it certainly isn't.)
