President Obama delivered the commencement address at Miami Dade College Friday evening, offering an upbeat challenge to the graduates to lead the nation into the 21st century. But he also used the speech to call for comprehensive immigration reform, saying it makes no sense to expel talented young people from our country.
The full immigration section of his remarks:
I know that several young people here have recently identified themselves as undocumented. Some were brought here as young children, and discovered the truth only as adults. And theyve put their futures on the line in hopes it will spur the rest of us to live up to our most cherished values.

Obama seems to have sympathy for kids who don't know much about their origins or their past! :)

Does a day ever go by that this Marxist prick doesn’t express a new plan to further damage the country?

This, to me, was the most frightening line of his speech...
“I know some here wish that I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself.”
The dictator in progress utters words in his quest for total power....BEWARE!!

I know that several young people here have recently identified themselves as undocumented. Some were brought here as young children, and discovered the truth only as adults.Maybe someday they could be president.

Some were brought here as young children, and discovered the truth only as adults.
Most of the other kids in their elementary school classes also spoke only Spanish.

It makes no sense to send people who have received graduate degrees back to their home countries, where they start businesses to compete with ours, while leaving our borders open to a horde of people who are illiterate in their own language and contribute nothing to our economy.

Amnesty for 30-40 Million new DNC/Socialist voters.
No more elections needed - we become an official banana republic ala venezuela with our own Chavez communist for life.

"Immigration reform now"=open borders and amnesty for all illegals who are here now and still to come.
Changing our laws means doing the hard work of changing minds and changing votes, one by one"=using the lapdog media to spread propaganda.
I know some here wish that I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself. (Applause.)=not yet anyways.
