Nov 18, 2014: Didn't anyone in the Hispanic media read Obama's book? "Back in 2008, many of us did not understand why the Spanish-speaking media gave candidate Obama such a free pass on immigration.

After all, wasn't then-Senator Obama one of the U.S. senators who forced the "poison pill amendments" on the McCain-Kennedy bill and showed very little interest in the subject as Ruben Navarrette has told us often?....

[SNIP]

.....My God! They called me a racist for saying something like that on TV! I remember objecting to foreign flags at U.S. demonstrations and hearing that I was intolerant and basically anti-immigrant.

Were Hispanics informed of this in the 2008 campaign, when Senator Obama was running around promising to fix the immigration problem in his first term?

Did any Spanish-speaking reporter raise his hand and say: "Perdón...but you said this back in 2006"?

Did Spanish-speaking reporters read the book? I'm sure that there is a Spanish translation somewhere on the shelf!"

“You have growing anxiety amongst the immigrant community that’s losing faith that the president is going to do as he said he would do,”

If they don't like it...they can go back home!!!

There is no way they can deal or bargan with a liar.

Obama and his ilk will lie to everyone to destroy this country.

Go to hell you frigging racists! It's all about your ethnicity, isn't it? You have NO loyalty to the Country that gives you the right to be a**wholes, do you? You're nothing but punks who want stuff you're not entitled to.

Obama wants his EO now so immigration laws will be broken; so border control measures cannot be addressed and the floodgates will open.

It would be so cute that the Democrats think Obama is one of them, if the consequences weren't so dire.

“I really think he’ll lose support from the Latino community if he continues to wait.”

Support for what? His re-election bid? At this point the only reason for Obama to forge ahead with this is to try to invent a legacy which, like ObamaCare, will be spun to make it look like something positive.

...“Waiting doesn’t make sense,” said Clarissa Martínez-De-Castro, deputy vice president of research, advocacy and legislation at the National Council of La Raza. “This is about millions of American families who’ve been waiting for a very long time for something to be done,” she said....

Go back to your home Country, and tell someone who cares!

Univision had a scathing report on F&F just before the 2012 election. Hispanics still voted for "zero" over 70%.

They vote for who gives them the most free stuff.

.....Republican leaders want to pass an omnibus package to “clear the decks” for 2015 and give them a chance to start next year’s budget and appropriations process with a clean slate, according to a senior GOP aide.

A presidential order freezing deportations, however, threatens to derail the omnibus, the aide said, and would make it tougher to pass other bills and confirm dozens of backlogged nominees.....

Boehner could repeat his advice to 0bama > You go do what you gotta do

“a group that supports full labor, civil and political rights for immigrants.”

LEGAL immigrants already have these rights. So they must be talking about the other kind of immigrant. And no. If people trespass into your backyard and set up camp these goofs would be advocating you must give them the “right” to not only stay and live there, but you gotta give them work and if you have no jobs available you must buy them food and fund their education, oh and yeah if you want to sell they must get a say in any change of home ownership too haha.

This candidate might not pull off a win in CA-16 but he did this in CA. You just need to TELL THE VOTERS what is going on and what you are for.

The narcissist in chief will do what ever he damn well pleases no matter who suggests otherwise. He has done EXACTLY what he said he would do by fundamentally changing America. Although there have been attempts, no one has stopped him, YET. His day will come.

I think we could see the President possibly backing down on his promises and delay any action until 2015. Especially now with the possibility that the grand jury decision in Ferguson, MO could create a gigantic problem.

"...But delaying the action, even for a few weeks, could make Obama look weak..."

"Look" weak?

Did you see the reasons they want to wait, though?

It’s so that republicans can’t hold the omnibus spending bill up in retaliation or to thwart the amnesty.

I know. Democrats want to rush it through the lame duck session before the new majority is seated.

Mark Levin was livid that it appears that the Republicans are willing to go along with it, and hand over all of their leverage before the new Congress is even in session.

"President Obama has a tough decision to make..."

Yep. What to do, what to do...... Announce during the fury over Ferguson, or use it as a distraction from Grubber. Decisions, decisions.....
