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?

I will NOT be paying for their food, taxes, college or anything else they want.
It's bad enough we have Moms who get paid to have baby after baby.
Makes sense as No bama would say no seeing as when he lived in Indonesia with his mom he relinguished his American rights becoming an Indonesian citizen, he shouldn't even be president.
Well, let's do not forget that Obama's uncle and aunt are illegally in this country, and got away with it. Some president do we have. God help us!
Why should this girl with so much potential be sent back to El Salvador, a country she has NEVER known. If she was allowed to stay, who knows what she could contribute to our society.
And by the way, allowing these immigrants who came in as children to come out of the shadows will help our economy, not hurt it.
As far as helping our economy how do you figure it will help when our own people are out of work?
I have 5 friends whose kids are moving back due to a lack of jobs. You need to quit saving the world and focus on us. If we keep this up we will never be able to help anyone in the future.
Please, if you feel a need to help someone open your house to the needy and report back to us in one year. If all the liberals opened their homes to the illegals and shared their income the problem would be solved so what are you people waiting for?
I would really like a responce from you based on my proposal.
And by the way, I would have no problem opening my home to an illegal immigrant. None at all.
And as far as helping our economy, as I stated, most of the jobs worked by illegal immigrants are not ones that normal Americans would be willing to work. If we allow these immigrants to come out of the shadows, pay taxes and spend their earnings without fear of getting caught by immigration, this will greatly help our economy.
And I did not say Latin America is a death trap for people. There are plenty who live happily with no issues, but there are also those who dont and for reasons beyond my knowledge, you refuse to acknowledge that.
I have to ask why liberals trashed Bush for invading Iraq when it was a known fact (to those who were open minded and not out to trash Republicans) that Saddam Hussein was horrifically abusing and killing anyone suspected of treason. He mutilated villages and you people turner your heads and screamed spiteful verbiage at Bush unwilling to recognize the atrocities.
And all Obama is saying is that he doesn't want to focus his efforts on those who were brought here and children and grew up calling America home. Why can't you see what a good thing this is? These people are here either way (immigration does not typically deport children and immigration is not going to be able to find all these people UNLESS they come out of hiding)...so why not let them contribute to our society while AT THE SAME TIME, getting a hold on who has come into this country. Obama is bringing them out of the shadows, which when you think about it, is the ONLY way to get control of the situation. They can apply for two years to stay here legally and after that they would need to re-apply or go back to their home country. This is a good idea ion many levels....
Immigration needs to focus on border control and deporting people who are a danger to our society, not innocent children. This is what makes Obama's proposal so perfect. Not to mention it is just the right thing to do, at least to anyone who can think of someone else before they think of themselves.
That being said, an illegal immigrant is nowhere near on par with a murderer. Allowing responsible, promising young people who are illegal through no fault of their own to have the chance to make something of themselves while contributing to the betterment of our economy is a far cry from letting my daughter marry a convicted murderer. If you can't see that differentiation, then we should probably end our conversation now.
Incidentally, the DREAM Act is originally a Republican proposal, and a good one at that.
Who are "you people"? I'm a single individual.
You people who defend Obama and his arrogant disregard for our laws.
That's who you people are, surprised you needed help figuring that out.
Boston doesn't represent the majority and word on the street is that Latinos are not buying this. They have to live in the same economy as the rest of us and they can see that 800 thousand more people pushed into the economy threatens their jobs as much as ours. Obama's timing really sucks and his down fall is going to be his weak economy.
I'm also not sure what you mean by "Boston doesn't represent the majority". Are you saying that you actually think the poll I referenced is only of Bostonians simply because the source I linked was Boston.com? You have to actually read the article's content you know, not just glance at the url. The poll was a national survey, not just a Boston one. The polling details are available here: http://media.bloomberg.com/bb... Let me know if I need to give you instructions on how to read this link as well.
As far as reading ability people aren't judge by their ability but by what they read. I would suggest that you step up the quality of your choices.
You are going to have your opinion on this. I personally do not agree. All Obama is doing, in my opinion, is making it possible for these young people already in this country to pay taxes (instead of working in hiding) and to in turn, spend their money freely in America, helping to boost our economy. By doing this, he is also freeing up resources to work on the more important immigration issues such as border control and deporting dangerous immigrants.
I don't care if you want to save the world, ex friends kid and foreigners but just don't do it on my money, I will chose who I want to help not you and all your bleeding heart liberal friends.....leave my tax dollars alone.
I have been with my fiance for over 7 years. I adopted my older son (who by the way was NEVER unwanted. I have loved him from the moment he was born and its CLEAR he was destined for me and my family)3 years ago as a single mom when he was a year old. His birth mother was living with me when he was born as she doesn't have any family and we were helping her. When she had trouble being responsible, she asked me to adopt him and I gladly accepted. I had full custody of him at 6 months and he was legally mine at a year. My fiance took on the father role for him by the time I had custody and is an amazing dad.
And yes, I accidentally got pregnant a little over 2 years ago, about a year after the adoption went through (after being in a fully committed relationship for 5 full years and having every intention to marry) and I gave birth to a beautiful little boy who has made my life complete. My fiance and I have been saving up for a large wedding (which is happening in september) which is the only reason we were not married much earlier. Wedding are expensive...especially when you have a couple of hundred people coming.
And fyi- I dont think I ever said you should help anyone...

And fyi- I dont think I ever said you should help anyone, I can tell what kind of person you are from our oh-so-pleasurable discussions on here. Can't say I am glad to have had them...but whatever.
Keep on jumping to conclusions, judging people and acting like you know everything. Its clearly what you do best! Have a nice day!
