Is the Obama amnesty program a political ploy to win votes from illegal aliens

The man who swore to 'protect and defend' the constitution of the United States of America has chosen to ignore his constitutional duties without the consent of congress and without passing a law 5 months before an election for a constituency which cannot legally vote.

We don't want here in Chicago ethier. Only his ex chief of staff, Chicago Mayor Rohn Emmanual wants him here.I personnal suspect shortly after he is out of office - if he ever leaves office - he and his wife are going to sell that house in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, IL, and move his family out of the state and move to the part of the state of Hawaii rich folks have their private villas and plantations. No more urban city life for him.

it is definitely a political ploy.. I think he might be thinking Mitt Romney might choose Marco Rubio for his VP... trying to secure Latino vote. Either way, it's politically motivated.

Of Course it's a ploy - Please people wake up and realize that this man will do and say anything to get re-elected. He is setting us up. We have to for the sake of our country get him out of office an get all of the congress out as well. We need term limits on congress. enought of them using us.

He and his campaign/administration are going around the demographic circle giving backrubs to anyone who will let them. Racists, Gays, The Undocumented and if he's really hurting he will do something with marijuana besides smoke it habitually (As a youth should).

He expects the hollywood production about Bin Laden to be his october surpirse, We are all supposed to be so enamored of his SINGULAR killing of Bin laden that we all rally to vote for him. The glitzy, Hollywood, spare NO expense of the taxpayers to make it MORE elaborate IS the October surprise.

A year ago, he said he didn't have the authority to do it. Now, with the dead and ineligible being purged from the voting rolls, he has to come up with votes from somewhere. Hell, yes, it's a political ploy and between now and November, you'll see him pander to every spaecial interest group out there, just like a two-bit whore trolling for drunken sailors on a Saturday night!

That's all it is, Obama is a POS who will do anything to get reelected even if it means stepping around Congress and doing what the majority of Americans don't want done. The disgraceful bastard should be concerned with jobs for Americans who are out of work instead of granting what amounts to amnesty to FOREIGN INVADERS. It's all politics and nothing else.

What else, after he said in 2010 that he could not do it on his own because there is a Congress in his way, he was addressing "La Rrrrrrrrraza" and now he yruns arounf with the BS Exec Order.

And the Hispanics don't see how we're being used how this ass in the White House is patronizing us.

Sadly, most Hispanics come from countries that are even more corrupt than the USA has become. They most likely don't see things the way us taxpaying citizens do. However, that still does not make it OK.
