Immigration Advocates Warn Obama Not to Think Small
TIME ^ | October 29, 2014 | by Alex Altman

“We won’t take any more excuses,” says Cristina Jimenez of the immigration-reform group United We Dream. “What we expect from the President is for him to use his legal authority to enact a program that will protect as many people from our community as possible.”

At a “bare minimum,” said Pablo Alvarado, executive director for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, the immigration orders should include “an extension of work authorization to everyone who would qualify under the Senate bill and an end to the Secure Communities program and policies that criminalize immigrants. The President has the legal authority, the moral obligation, and the political capital required to take these important steps.”

“This is an action that frankly we believe the President should have taken months ago,” said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center. “The president has broad legal authority to do this. It’s really about his political will.”

“Some might worry the backlash against a bold program will be too great,” said Hincapié. But that backlash will exist whether the President extends relief to one person, 1 million or many more. “We’re holding the president to his word,” she added. “There are no more excuses.”

Wow: Obama is telling us he’s going to open the border.

Arrest all illegal alien invaders. Seize their assets. Deport them. If they return...imprison them.

We won't hear any more excuses. We demand that we be allowed to invade any country, to get all the free stuff that your citizens have worked their butts off to earn, and we get it free just by invading. That is what invading armies get you know. All the stuff that invading armies get.

Amerika is being invaded by foreign nations and our answer is TO GIVE THEM CITIZENSHIP!!!! Have we lost our freaking minds??? We answer invasion by welcoming in the invading army!!! America gets what it asked for. RUIN!!! This nation is a self inflicted wound. People sitting on their fat asses wanting everything for free, thinking THE MAN should give it to us because he robbed my great, great, great, great, great, great, 3d uncle once removed of his rights. This nation sucks. I served 20 years for this??? I gave the best years of my life defending this Republic to SEE it GIVEN AWAY by a bunch of liberal pukes who never did a thing in their lives except whine, complain, demand, yell, moan, bitch, and cry. Accomplished nothing. Pukes makes me want to SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually agree with the above statement.

I, too, want Obama to use his authority, legal or otherwise, to protect me from the Latin community.

See, spokespeople who have English as a second language often say the darnedest things!

let them come over the US northern border in winter. the Mexican GOV can drop them off by the planeload, and the wolves will be feed. Problem solved. The border will stay closed on the north at least, the wolves will be feed too.
