Despite High Unemployment, Obama Puts Amnesty on the Agenda

This week, as a guest on a Spanish language radio show, President Obama stated his continued support for giving amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants, which would force Americans looking for a job to compete with amnestied aliens for work. (El Piolin Interview, February 18, 2009 and CBS4 — South Florida).

During the radio interview, President Obama said: "We're going to start by really trying to work on how to improve the current [immigration] system so that people who want to be naturalized, who want to become citizens … are able to do it; that it's cheaper, that it's faster, that they have an easier time in terms of sponsoring family members." Following that, President Obama acknowledged what legal American workers already know intuitively — that amnesty is not in their best interest — but then endorsed amnesty anyway. President Obama said: "And then we've got to have comprehensive immigration reform. … Politically it's going to be tough. It's probably tougher now than it was, partly because of the fact that the economy has gotten worse." (El Piolin).

Millions of Americans are out of work, lost jobs, investments, homes, had their wages, hours and benefits and slashed, so the government should certainly help out those that entered this country illegally.

However, the overall number makes sense, since the lenders were being pushed specifically to give loans to unqualified *minorities,* not white people.

Nor Asians. Don't forget that Asians don't count as minorities because they are hard working, self-sufficient, and don't 'need' government handouts to succeed.

Thanks, it is nice here. However, I have not yet filled out my state income tax forms (crying uncontrollably . . LOL!)

No Income tax at state level in Tx. (sigh)

Having moved from Texas a few years ago, the property taxes there MORE than made up for not having a state income tax.

Unless you're in one of the states that has both a high prop. tax and income tax, you'll likely find you're no worse off. They'll always get us one way or the other.

It has gotten to the point in some parts of Georgia where you can hardly go to a federal, state or local park and enjoy the day due to all the “familias” overcrowding!

We don't even think about going to a park here in CA. Might as well be in some 3rd world hell hole. Coming soon to all the U.S.....

That’s why I specified “unqualified” minorities. It would be interesting to know what percentage of defaults is “African-American,” too.

Oh, right - didn’t catch the ‘unqualified’.

It makes me sick that the MSM doesn’t point out that just being a minority doesn’t make someone a looser. They need to point out how well Asians are doing and tell others to emulate them. Or leave.

Hopefully I won’t be, but I’ll have to wait and see.

Asians receive plenty of SBA set-asides. Some Asian groups (Koreans, Chinese, East Indians) would still be successful nonetheless.

They also vote Dem, btw.
