The pres wants deep economic integration first with mexico and canada and then with the rest of the hemisphere to counter the EU, India and Asia. He also wants the hispanic vote. Thus the incredibly slack stance on illegal immigration. Unfortunately he seems to favor a very soft border with mexico and a preference for their immigrants above all others. (Hes ignoring the fact that they only vote republican 40% of the time on a good day for a candidate that really tries with them but anyway.) Thats the big picture. I dont want the US to become part of latin america so I oppose his view on what our border should become.

This is called 'tunnel vision'.
