Obama: Mexicans make U.S. stronger
The Washington Times ^ | June 29, 2016 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 06/29/2016 11:10:25 AM PDT by jazusamo

With Donald Trump’s rhetoric about Mexican rapists and border walls obviously on their minds, President Obama and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto made a public show of friendship and respect Wednesday.

“All too often we’re hearing rhetoric that ignores the enormous contributions that have been made by Mexican Americans and the enormous strengths we draw from the relationship,” Mr. Obama said during a meeting with Mr. Pena Nieto at a summit in Ottawa, Canada.

Mr. Obama said the U.S. “is not just a friend and neighbor of Mexico, but the very character of the United States is shaped by Mexican Americans who have shared our culture, our politics, our business.”

In an apparent reference to Mr. Trump’s pledge to force Mexico to pay for building a wall on the U.S. border, Mr. Pena Nieto said, “Isolationism cannot bring prosperity to a society.”

I’ll be surprised if GB actually gets free for even a little while. They’re trying to nullify the vote.

I’ll also be surprised if we make it to November or January without some sort of “event” happening here.

I’ll go ahead and say “Reichstag Fire”. But I wear tinfoil a lot these days, LOL.

If I’m wrong, we can all laugh at my posts, including me. I’d much rather be wrong.

But I put nothing past leftist socialist globalists. Nothing.

He had his Interior Secretary Sally lookslikeaman lecturing the other day that Mexicans feed us.
There must be some kind of agitprop push to try and feed us **** we know isn’t true, after the SCOTUS bitchslapped him.

Obama: Mexicans make U.S. stronger

Why is it ok to make Mexico weaker?

As Teddy Roosevelt once said, "there's no such thing as a hyphenated American that is a good American". You're either an American or something else. If you feel the need to modify your Americanism with a hyphen, you aren't making America stronger, you're making America weaker and Obama knows this.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all … The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic … There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

What Obama means is Mexicans make corrupt government stronger. He’s right.

Uh, Barry . . . . the ones that are here illegally are just Mexicans, NOT Mexican Americans.

LEGAL immigration makes America stronger, illegal immigration makes America the dumping ground of the world...

I don’t think TR has ever gotten the attention he deserves-too many dismiss him as just some rough guy who happened to become president-but he was far more than that-my grandfather-a rough rancher in SW Texas-was a great admirer...

My ancestors came to Texas in the 1780’s-they left Spain in the late 15th century-so we’ve been Texans and Americans first a rather long time-like pretty much everyone who came to the New World so long ago, we do have Native ancestry, too-people here don’t make a big deal about that, since it is common...

many Mexicans do contribute to USA when they come here

some do not

what we need is honest border and immigration law
(AND RIGHT NOW with 100 million American citizens without work, this is the worst possible time to be letting millions of aliens into our country! But the ruling elite want to drive down the American workers...control, control, control! means POWER POWER POWER more and more dictatorship in USA, the Obama/Hillary way....complete with millions and milions of ENEMY Islamics!!! note that you can see many of the Islamics practicing their aim right out at the rifle range... any day you want)

Mexicans make Americans stronger?

Let us not forget that Jeb! maintained that “aspirational youth” from Latin America would come in and rebuild the United States — would duplicate the civilization they built in Latin America.

Our elected leaders believe Americans can no longer cut it. It is over for us. We need them to rescue us.

ps to Obozo:
while many (not all) Mexicans do contribute to USA and make us stronger,
most of your IslamoNazi “immigrants” (the Islamic Invaders You are Enabling with Our Tax Money)... do NOT strengthen America, indeed they (by design) weaken our country and render each and every one of us vulnerable to their dammmed terrorist mass-murder attacks at any time 24.7.365

which is of course part of your plan.
so please stop talking about Mexicans, we know about Mexicans... we naturally have varying ideas about that....but most Mexicans are not trying to mass murder us in the name of your Satanic false god Alluh!

We need a President who will return O’s Moslem invaders to their own Krapistans ASAP!!!!!!! while we can still do it!
