Eva Longoria: Latinos Helped Elect Obama So There’s a "Need for Action" on Immigration

Actress Eva Longoria, who has met with President Barack Obama at the White House to discuss immigration reform told CNSNews.com that given the amount of Latinos that supported Obama in the 2008 election, there is "definitely" a "need for action" on immigration.

In October 2009, Longoria told CNSNews.com on Capitol Hill that it’s "time to take on immigration reform." CNSNews.com asked Longoria on Thursday why she thinks it has not happened yet.

"Oh gosh, well, I think the President’s been a little busy with the economy and health care and the wars. You know, unfortunately, this issue has been on the national agenda for many, many administrations so it’s not really the fault of this administration; although with the amount of Latinos that supported Obama, there definitely is a need for action on immigration and also it’s an economic issue," she told CNSNews.com on Capitol Hill.

"I mean people want to frame it as an immigrant issue but it really is an economic issue. We have an emerging market within our own borders. We have kids with fire in their belly and we’re sending them back to a country bitter and angry and I think we should capture those children and let them contribute to our economy and society."

“they were some kind of Spanish nobility”

Theres no whore like an old whore.
The constitution says this about nobility:

“No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”

Thats because european “nobility” status comes from nothing that an American or Texan recognizes as a virtue. It’s a badge of shame. No president should have time for her advice. Embarrassing

“there is “definitely” a “need for action” on immigration”

Yup!
Herman Cain nailed it Thursday night:
1-Secure the Border.
2-Enforce current immigration laws.
3-Fix the bureaucracy to expedite the current immigration process.
4- Let the States do what the Federal Government won’t do.

To be more specific, they were minor gentry in New Spain and hold their land just North of the Rio Grande by direct grant from the King of Spain. This apparently qualifies her to comment on landless Mexican peasants.

Incidentally, I have also heard her describe her father ... as a staunch Bush supporter.

The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. That certainly explains her support for illegals.

If Bush had Chuck Norris or Charlton Heston come to the White House to advise him on serious national issues I suspect the “news” media would have mocked him for it.

I wish that would have happened. At least then there would have been one social conservative there.

No, so there's a need for every illegal and potential Obama voter to be thrown out of the country.

Read (or try to read) the last part of this article. Despite blathering on for several paragraphs, Emilio Estefan still can’t string together a single coherent sentence.

I feel a lot better now that Eva has figured it all out. I’m going to take wild guess that her solution is “Let them all stay”.
