Anti-immigrant discourse is "un-American": Obama
Yahoo ^ | 9/14/2015 | AFP

Des Moines (United States) (AFP) - President Barack Obama called anti-immigrant sentiment in Republicans' presidential campaign discourse "un-American", appearing without naming names, to be condemning the incendiary rhetoric of frontrunner Donald Trump.

"This whole anti-immigrant sentiment that's out there in our politics right now is contrary to who we are," Obama said during a town hall meeting at an Iowa high school.

"Because unless you are a Native American, your family came from some place else."

.. SNIP ..

Without naming Trump or his rivals, Obama denounced that on Monday. "We can have a legitimate debate about how to set up an immigration system that is fair and orderly and lawful," Obama told the crowd.

"But, when I hear folks talking as if somehow these kids are different from my kids, or less worthy in the eyes of God, that somehow they are less worthy of our respect and consideration and care -- I think that's un-American. I do not believe that. I think it is wrong."

We have immigration laws. Obama refuses to enforce them.

You can really tell who is anti-American by their illegal alien support.

Hey Obama, the curtain is pulled back.

Everyone can see you lying. Everyone.

What a sad pathetic man.

BTW, Trump isn’t criticising immigration, he’s criticising border-jumping, which is simply illegal criminal behavior.

That’s what had Bammy confused.

Apples and oranges - you’d think Bammy would know the difference, since he likes fruits so much.

He cares only about power; he is a real-life O’Brien from “Nineteen Eighty-Four”.
The first and most fundamental lesson Obama learned was to reassess his understanding of power. (Saul Alinsky biographer Sanford) Horwitt says that, when Alinsky would ask new students why they wanted to organize, they would invariably respond with selfless bromides about wanting to help others. Alinsky would then scream back at them that there was a one-word answer: “You want to organize for power!” […]

The other fundamental lesson Obama was taught is Alinsky’s maxim that self-interest is the only principle around which to organize people.

This invasion is just another example of his power politics.

“That’s what had Bammy confused.”

The lie is intentional, I assure you. His words were meant for the few remaining idiots in the US and to serve as sound bites for the foreign press.

What I love about Trump is he calls Obama “Incompetent”. This catch all allows folks who dislike Obama for any reason to simply agree with him without Trump having to get down in the pig sty that is Obama.

Following the letter of the law is not “anti- American.”

It’s most American thing anyone can do.

We’re a country of laws, not men. It’s what makes us great — not hoardes of immigrants looking for a free ride.

Got it, Big Ears?

“Because unless you are a Native American, your family came from some place else.”

Obama, genius, they also came from someplace else. There is no nation on earth where the inhabitants did not come from somewhere else. And that does not make it mandatory that we give up our nation our ancestors built for us. They did not work, build, give their life’s blood and fashion the greatest nation on earth just for an invasion of foreigners that spit on our heritage.

Just where do these uncited “folks” dwell? Must be at those über-white, über-rich, über-liberal locales where he invariably tends to take vactions.

And of course, like those entering via the southern border, very few are kids.

"Who or what is more un-American than Barack Hussein Obama?"

Answer: The GOP who abandoned their sworn oaths to defend the Constitution and watched silently as this usurper was illegally installed into office. Cowards and traitors all.
