The president of the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute criticized U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Thursday for supporting a bill that calls for the construction of a 700-mile wall along the border of the United States and Mexico.
Dr. Juan Andrade Jr. called the proposed wall offensive and "an insult to those of us of Mexican ancestry." He also said Obama owes immigrants, especially Mexicans, an apology.
"Obama owes the 1.7 million immigrants in the state of Illinois ... and the 1.3 million Mexicans in Illinois in particular an explanation for his vote," Andrade said during a news conference.
"I have supported and will continue to support comprehensive immigration reform that will provide a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants in this country," Obama replied in a statement Thursday. "But I disagree with those who think that we can do this without measures that allow us to control our borders."

Okay
LET'S EXPOSE THEIR HYPOCRACY!!! TRUMP2020!
Look, the core voters of both parties have moved far apart - Dems to the left, GOP to the right.
The Democrats leadership has moved with their voters, the GOP leadership has not.
The failure of the GOP leaders to move with their voters has some rationality behind it. First, they accept the premise of a brown America and they welcome it, while their core voters do not. Second, they want to avoid civil war, always commendable in a political leader - the first one was really, really bad. Third, they want a globalized world, not a world of nations - and because they don’t regard America as a nation-state, they really don’t comprehend China and other states which embody the nation.
Anyway, something’s gotta give, and what will give is the GOP. The browns have a party, and the whites are going to get one soon. It just won’t be the GOP, which will disappear.
Obamination was always trying to bring a revolution to the US. I expect he took this position, and others like keeping marriage between a man and a woman, to advance him to a point to where he could be the trojan horse he was.
They are not hypocrites. They are representing their voters, and doing a bang-up job of it.
There is no future in American politics for a pro-big business, pro-transnational party that hides behind the flag and "the troops".
Either the GOP becomes the white party, as the Democrats have become the brown party, or they will go out of existence.
The third alternative, which is almost unbearable to contemplate, is that their donors will demand, and their leadership will accept, a one-party state.
At the time, it was politically expedient to make what he consider lie to “soothe” the People....now they have moved several notches further to the left and are in a frenzy to wrest control before enough folks wake up.
Bump
They also voted for Real ID. They also voted for Hagel-Martinez in the senate, which received 65 cloture votes.
But then the GOP pulled a fast one and Hastert refused to let Hagel Martinez onto the floor of the House and it failed.
The democrats know that the GOP lied to them in 2006 so since then they have refused to let it happen again.
For example: The dems supported the immigration reform bill in 2013 which included more fencing as part of the broader bill.
The dems will support more fencing today, if it is part a broader bill, but they will definitely not allow an enforcement only bill to be enacted.
