Obama on Illegal Aliens to Illegal Alien: We Don’t Want to Deport Them; 'We Want Them To Succeed’ Monday, March 28, 2011 By Edwin Mora
(CNSNews.com) -- When questioned by an illegal alien student today who showed him a deportation letter, President Barack Obama said he did not want to deport illegal alien students like the one who questioned him, he wanted them to succeed.
The exchange came during a town hall event sponsored by the Spanish-language television network Univision at a Washington, D.C., school. An illegal alien student, who appeared via Skype, asked: “My question for the president is, why [is the government] saying that deportations have stopped or the detention of many students like me, why is it that we are still receiving deportation letters like this one?”
Obama answered, “We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community.
“And for a young person like that young woman that we just spoke to who’s going to school, doing all the right things, we want them to succeed," Obama said.

He's never been President, legally.
And I want him to leave in *chains*.
It is amazing how they set up controls to trace terror money moving in & out of the country, but can’t find a way to tax the millions of under-the-table wages streaming south across our border.
What a hoax; both parties are in on it.
No one should kid themselves, on this issue, Obama is just carrying on the work of GHWB, Slick Willy and GWB, though he hasn’t yet come up with hokey slogans as infuriating as GWB’s.
And I’m not hearing any potential Republican primary candidates taking a strong, pro-enforcement, no amnesty position of this issue.
taqquiya (sp?)
Let’s start by deporting BO, worthless moron.
An illegal alien WITH a deportation letter passed the security clearance to meet with the President of the United States?

PLEASE, never let it be said that I ‘stuck’ up for this bunch of clowns BUT the article did say the student asked the question while on ‘Skype’..
This story is kind of reminiscent of the illegal college student that went from the Northeast to Arizona to protest the new AZ laws and when he refused to leave an area, he got arrested then it was discovered he was illegal and was subject to deportation.
Naturally, he cried about this so called injustice.
Sad part is that he gets an audience and probably got to stay.
Yes you are clearly right. We are no longer a nation governed by laws, they are "selectively enforced" depending on liberal fascist political corretness means, we are governed by the changing measurement of the "kings foot."
" Off with his 'ead!"
Use a dull hoe while we are at it.

This is not surprising given the lawlessness of the administration!
Apparently A-Hole in the WH doesn’t comprehend that, as far as his job is concerned, the welfare of American citizens comes before that of illegal aliens.
Exactly what shade of pink are you?
Ask your momma. The only colors I identify with are the Red, White and Blue, and combat patch composed of a dark blue sky showing the Southern Cross. How about you, Open borders sellout?
Frankly, if Obama and the liberals are to be believed, their position is incredibly insulting and patronizing. Whether 'we' want them to succeed or not is immaterial. If they have the will to succeed in life, they shall succeed, whether liberal elites patronize them or not.
I hope they succeed too...in another country. Then there would be no reason for them to come here illegally.
I want them to succeed too, I want them to do it in their own country!!!!!
Speak for yourself, Ears. REAL Americans want the illegals deported, you leftist phony.
The global elites who think/know they are running The New World Order use whatever means they can to keep the middle class down and destroy it where it is. how can you be a world-wide aristocracy when there’s an island of free men who are doing alright by themselves?
We Don’t Want to Deport Them; ‘We Want Them To Succeed in destroying American culture and sovereignty so that the country further weakens and is an easier target for a Marxist makeover’
There we are, I added in the unspoken thought bouncing around in Obama’s pointy skull.
Because you are here illegally and you should not be. You need to be deported. Incidentally, most Americans do want to deport you. Barry is not representative of America, nor Americans.
