Obama Has Shown Courage To Stand With Us, Say America’s Joyful Latinos President’s move to grant amnesty to 5 million immigrants delights Hispanics at rally in Las Vegas

Rory Carroll 22 November 2014

Should Hillary Clinton, or any other Democrat, become the next US president, you may be able to trace their victory to a roll of the political dice played out last week beside a Las Vegas highway. Barack Obama’s cavalcade trundled up the road and into Del Sol high school on Friday to bring his case for the most sweeping immigration reform in decades to a rally in Nevada’s gambling capital.

A bright desert sun illuminated two contrasting tableaux. From the school entrance snaked hundreds of people, mostly Latino, giddy and upbeat, come to hear and cheer a president who had decided to shield almost five million illegal immigrants from deportation by offering them temporary legal status and work permits. Across the street stood about two dozen protesters – white, indignant and angry – with megaphones. Placards amplified the message: “No amnesty!” “Deport them all!” “Oust Obama!”

Democrats from Washington who hitched a ride to the event on Air Force One could not resist smiling. It was a banner day for civil rights. But, more prosaically, the scenes on both sides of the highway sprinkled optimism on their chances of keeping the White House after Obama.

“The Latino vote is going to stay solid Democratic,” said Bill Richardson, a former New Mexico governor and one of the party’s leading Latino figures. “I think the party in deep trouble is the Republican party. They’re digging themselves in a very bad hole with Latino voters for 2016.” Dolores Huerta, a veteran and well-known labour activist, agreed. “I think they can win Congress, but not the presidency.

Since I won’t know who is legally here and who isn’t, we will no longer hire any Hispanics. Shove that up your Obama.

Exactly the point made more than 100 years ago in William Graham Sumner’s famous essay, “The Conquest of the United States of America by Spain”.

What about the Latinos who are getting screwed because the new illegal aliens will push down their wages? Are they joyous? I think not. The Guardian is an extreme left-wing rag.

Maybe it’s time Anglos fight back. Only do business with those who are not Democrats.

Obama has shown courage to help us rip off the American people, and corrupt elections, citizenship, and so many other things it’s pointless to try to list them all.

Well, as long as the precious Latinos are happy, that’s all that matters, then.

And the American people be damned.

The Latino invaders and plunderers might be pleased, but law-abiding Latinos: not so much.

‘’White, indignant and angry’’. Snobby ass, hypocritical Brits making it a racial issue. This from the people who still treat Irish Catholics like crap and were major slavers.

I said pretty much what you just did some months ago here. I said countries were Spanish is spoken are Third World crap holes and I took some heat for it. Thank you for a very erudite and well thought out post.

OBAMA DOESN’T OWN THE COUNTRY - IT’S NOT HIS TO GIVE AWAY...

AN ILLEGAL IS NO MORE AN IMMIGRANT THAN A THIEF IS A GUEST.

Obozo isn't standing with you, he and the Democrats are just using you. You're just their latest accessory, to be used and abused, just like black Americans. Obozo has done nothing for his own people. They are worse off now than they were six years ago. Do you really think he's going to do anything for you?

Comrade obama has chosen to stand against the American people. If he puts so little value in the worth of American Citizenship, perhaps his own should be revoked.

I was being nice. :)
