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?

We have laws, uphold the laws. Using illegals for political pawns is wrong.

While we're at it let's stop looking for terrorists too. Honestly, when was the last time anyone said the "Pledge of Allegiance"?

reply
jjl to ticker 2012/06/18 16:05:20

I think the government should focus more on looking for terrorist instead of inocent kids that have done nothing wrong, and some of these kids are more patriotic than some US citizens.

All illegal immigrants should be deported. They can come back at a later date and knock on the front door instead of sneaking in through the back door.

reply
jjl to Resp 2012/06/18 16:09:05

nobody is going to leave, imagine if they told you to leave everything you have here in and go back to where your ancestry is from. would you do it? Because unless you are a native american indian you are not originally from here.

Excuse me, but according to recent archeology Europeans WERE here first. I know you can't stand it. But don't switch the issue to American Indians. Europeans and Asians were here before Indians. Indians were conquered. Mexico was conquered. America won! You lost! Get over it. Sorry but Americans are in charge now. Get it? Or do we have to kick Mexico's ass again?

Reagan granted amnesty to 2 million illegals WITH the stipulation the borders be sealed. Guess what? That never happened. Now we have 20 million+ in this country illegally. He would neither be pleased nor would he think a president over reaching his powers by circumventing Congress would be cool.

They are here illegally. They have no right to be in the U.S.

The government needs to enforce the law.

If the parents were illegal when they came here then, the tax payers paid the hospital bill for the children to be born here. Let them live in part of your house if you approve.

reply
jjl to Pinball... 2012/06/18 16:12:42

They don't need any house to live in, because they are hard working people who support themselves and have their own houses. But people like you that think they need help should help the homeless people that by the way are mostly US citizens but they are too lazy to get a job and have a normal life.

Would Obama admitting that he's illegal in an autobiography 10 years ago be proof enough?

Now that the proof is in their face, I wonder how far they'll go to claim Obama didn't even write his own book (which would be fraud).

I'm taking it you've actually done your research with the help of "The Amateur"?

He's grasping at straws. He sees the polls showing Mitt has a charging lead, and he has to do something to inflate the voter pool. I generally would never vote for an equally bad president, but from what I hear Mitt is is almost ridiculously against liberals and socialism and wants it "EXTERMINATED" -- that is a cause I can proudly follow.
