Do You Think the U.S. Should Stop Deporting Young Immigrants? (Obama Does)

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?

    Thank you. I had a fellow employee for whom I worked who came from Costa Rica and was very friendly towards me who came to this country in 1983 and it took her 15 years to be become full fledged naturalized American citizen. Everybody at the job liked her very much.

    You talk about these people like they are from another world. Your undertone is racist.

    Don't you dare call me a racist! I have a job where I work with many Hispanics and they are the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. In my job nearly half the people where I work are Hispanic and I've developed close realtionships with some of them.

    Read your history, The immigrants that landed on Ellis island came to this country because they were asked to leave their country, think about it there were no malls around then they lived in tents and they actually had to get up and work everyday to eat and have somewhere to live. Why would you willingly leave your home to go somewhere were you had no grocery stores, or the convience of Paris or Greece etc...... Think about it.

    why not? are they fugitives, or what? or can't they afford to emigrate to the U.S., which is what i suspect is the real reason for illegal immigration.
  • PeetFizzy 2012/06/19 16:34:18

    Was it their choice to come in? Probably no!
    I can say proudly to those that reject the idea that it is but political reprisal brought upon by a socially motivated event, in which slander and lible seem to be the only attack option.

    Unless your full blooded Native American, I say you have no right to decide who lives and who doesn't in this country. The country was founded as a safehaven, but even now these people that claim themselves as "true Americans" can't even crowd around that idea. Yes it may not help, but we're drawing a petty and childish line in the sand.

    They shouldn't stop... They should increase efforts to find and deport every single person who is here illegally.

    definitely not....blatant ignoring of the law (not that he abides by it anyway)

    Illegals need to go home or get deported home to come back the legal, right way if they want to.

    I have a cousin that says "but America wouldn't survive without them to do our dirty work" but I say of course we would...there are people desperate for jobs here in America that are "legal" American citizens

    You should stop them coming in CURRENTLY. You shouldn't deport them if they were children and have lived in the country for a decade or so; you can't blame them if it's their parents that made the decision.

    So it's okay to come here illegally as long as you're young? That's ridiculous, I know it isn't too ridiculously hard to get a work visa in the US. I also understand that other places have issues where people are miserable. I just know that if I were to sneak into Canada illegally, it wouldn't be okay either. I don't think people should be rewarded for doing things that are against the law.

    Edit: He says it's not amnesty... In what way?

    The law needs to address these people who end up as non citizens of any country but not this way The legitimate pathway to fix this is a well written bill passed through Congress not by ignoring the law

    You are so not 45 but if calling people younger than you and that you've never met make you feel like a man, go ahead. It's sad when teenagers are more mature than adults at times. I would support abortions for people like you

    I have accepted the fact that the sheeple will continue to be led to slaughter by this corrupt government and its corrupt, debt making, war mongering leaders until the republic is destroyed... anybody with an ounce of brains and their eyes open can see this.

    I started taking homeland security classes to obtain a certificate to work the border but quit because I realized how big of a joke our border really is------->The US should arrest and deport EVERYONE who is not a citizen that doesn't have the proper/non-expired paperwork to be in this country legally.THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAW.

    The reality is that the law doesn't matter when we have leaders like OBAMA who want LEECHES like his Auntie Zeituni Onyango (who was an illegal who avoided deportation again and again) who lived in Bostons public housing for years on public assistance to stay...he obviously wants the country sucked dry.

    Even if you put facts like that aside---you cant deny that all these puppet leaders have done since Sept. 11th is talked fear & security while allowing millions more illegals to run all over the place & continue to keep a southern border that is Swiss cheese while Mexico has no southern "border" at all. Anyone who can get into central or S.America can get into the U.S.......yet they harass law abiding citizens everywhere, every stinking day, all over the place in the name of "security."--doesnt that seem STRANGE to anyone else???

    because they wanted him to get a 2nd term------stop living in the past---realize that its not a republican/democrat thing---- take off your blinders--- you are being distracted----- they are undermining the entire country---the entire system----all of them---not the last administration--- not this one---- ALL OF THEM... wake the F up..

    it would take 1 day to order all illegals out of the this country---we have the resources and the ability to handle it too------ but yet our wonderful president would rather evoke "executive privilege" to cover up his knowledge of crimes like "fast and furious" to protect him and the attorney general from being outed by congress as being part of a failed attempt to undermine the 2nd amendment by blaming gun shops for illegal guns that the government and ATF handed to Mexican criminals. Seriously think about that-----What does that tell you????
