Immigration is now President Obama’s worst issue
Washington Post ^ | 7/31/14 | Aaron Blake

Immigration has emerged as perhaps President Obama's worst issue -- definitely for today, and maybe of his entire presidency -- when it comes to public perception.

A new poll from AP-GfK shows more than two-thirds of Americans (68 percent) disapprove of Obama's handling of the immigration issue in general. Just 31 percent approve -- down from 38 percent two months ago.

When you separate those most passionate about the issue, the difference is even more stark, with 57 percent opposed and just 18 percent in favor. That's more than three-to-one.

We tried to find an issue on which Obama has earned such poor marks, at any point in his presidency. And even on what was long his worst issue, the economy, his disapproval rating rarely peaked over 60 percent.

Why should Obama care in the least what the voters think about his immigration policies?

The whole point of these policies is to bring in a fresh new set of voters!

Just wait until he imports Ebola.........

I'm sure he thought he would have destroyed America by now. He's gonna get really busy at destruction now, and it ain't the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man who's coming to do it.

Worst issue?

Ha!

Just wait another 45 minutes, we'll get blindsided with ANOTHER “O” scandal.

THEN, we can enjoy watching the MSM scramble around trying to cover YET MORE treason, malfeasance and outright crime.

This will go on ad infinitum... until he's GONE!

It looks like Obama’s immigration policy of giving away the farm to appeal to Hispanic voters and the expense of all other groups has backfired big time, not only has he PO’ed most non-hispanics (which still account for 83% of the population, by the way) but Hispanics oppose his immigration policy by virtually the same numbers as non-hispanics.

But as the years have gone on and Congress has failed to pass anything, Americans have also judged Obama poorly for it.

Of course. Americans are angry at Obama for failing to pass 'comprehensive immigration reform'.

As dramatic a misinterpretation as I've yet seen form the MSM. And thats saying a mouthful.

YA THINK??!!??

Of all the criminal acts Barack Hussein Obama has imposed on the Republic, this is the most egregious, destructive and permanent. Ignoring a clear law, one of the foundations of all tribes, empires, kingdoms, countries and republics : A clear and unambiguous border and related immigration laws, the violation of which always has meant war; anywhere and everywhere..

All for the sake of his personal sick, ignorant and megalomaniacal narcissism his personal universe:

America is not like that.
We are not like that.
We can't abandon children.

Platitudes, anyone?
Meaningless, mindless, ignorant rhetoric...

No government, which does not promote the safety and welfare of its citizens first, can ever be in a position to presume and claim the obligation, on behalf of its citizens, to "help" illegal alien invaders.
