Obama comment on immigration draws anger, frustration

Immigration advocates reacted angrily Wednesday to President Obama’s declaration that he does not have the authority to completely halt the deportations of millions of people who are living in the country illegally. The heated response, from some of the administration’s closest allies, reflects the mounting frustration many feel about the diminishing prospects for immigration reform on Capitol Hill.

The blowback was further evidence of the high stakes involved for the president on one of his second-term priorities as House Republicans continue to delay action on a proposed overhaul of the nation’s border control laws.

After focusing for months on GOP lawmakers, advocates erupted at Obama after he said in a television interview Tuesday that he is powerless to scale back mass deportations — estimated at more than 1,000 per day.

“Unless the president alters course, he risks cementing his legacy as having presided over the most anti-immigrant administration in history,” said Pablo Alvarado, executive director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. Alvarado said Obama has an “obligation to lead the national debate through bold action”

To highlight their concern, seven undocumented workers affiliated with Alvarado’s organization handcuffed themselves to the north gates of the White House on Wednesday morning, unfurling a sign with Obama’s image and the words, “Mr. President Stop Deportations.” They chanted, “Not one more!” and “Si, se puede,” a Spanish phrase that translates to, “Yes, we can,” Obama’s 2008 campaign slogan. The protesters were arrested and fined for not obeying a lawful order.

They seem disappointed that the USA isn’t a Banana Republic like the places they belong.

Advocates “will not let President Obama off the hook for his role in the moral crisis our nation faces,” Jimenez said.

What "nation" is Jimenez from, and what moral crisis does that nation have? It's strange how people will come to the United States to escape "moral crisis", and then proceed to create "moral crisis". This person is demanding that our President violate his oath of office for millions of foreigners who violated our laws.

This whole problem with the illegal aliens would never have happened if democrats had not declared war on poverty. Democrats decided there were jobs in this country that Americans shouldn't have to do, so people came here illegally to take those jobs. The billions illegal aliens cost the taxpayers, the thousands of Americans killed by illegal aliens, the Latino gangs terrorizing neighborhoods, that's all for the democrats to take credit for. Yes, business owners were wrong in hiring them, but the illegal alien problem was caused by bleeding heart democrats.
