Michelle Obama to Latinos: ‘We cannot afford to wait on Congress’ for immigration
Washington Times ^ | 07/13/2014 | By Cheryl K. Chumley

First lady Michelle Obama grabbed the political reins during a speech to the League of United Latin American Citizens in New York City, telling the crowd of admirers not to worry — that her husband wouldn’t wait on Congress to take action on immigration reform.

“So make no mistake about it — we have to keep on fighting as hard as we can on immigration,” Mrs. Obama said, to a cheering crowd, Breitbart reported. “And as my husband has said, he’s going to do whatever administrative action it takes to fix this broken system.”

Mrs. Obama then vowed that Congress wouldn’t get in the way of her presidential husband’s hopes for immigration change.

“We cannot afford to wait on Congress to lift up our next generation,” she said, Breitbart reported. “We can’t afford to wait on anybody when it comes to our kids’ future. Your grandparents and parents didn’t wait for opportunities to come to them. No, they packed up their families and moved to this country for a better life.” Shortly after, Mrs. Obama began to list the civil rights offenses that plagued the Hispanic community at America’s hands in recent decades.

That’s the problem. The Obama’s see Congress as a duma - a rubber stamp organization there to make the powers-that-be look good.

Either Obama doesn’t understand this country - and our system of freedom and checks and balances or he’s some whacked out communist. What a horror.

Now THAT is the sad truth! I haven’t looked at a photo for her or listened to her hate speech in years, I can’t stomach the hate oozing out of her.

“Immigration reform”...still a very general term like “hope and change”, could mean something different to each individual who all end up demanding something they know nothing about. So what specific reforms are they proposing?
