Obama: Urges Americans to ‘Stand Up’ Against GOP’s Anti-Immigrant ‘Bigotry’
Forex Report Daily ^ | October 9, 2015 | Iris Duncan

“There’s nowhere they want to go further backwards than on immigration”, said the president, who noted his administration’s progress on reducing the Latino unemployment rate and providing more health care to the minority group.

Obama is using the speech to highlight differences with several of the Republican presidential candidates on the issue. Like Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has said he does not support a path to citizenship, and stirred controversy for using the term “anchor babies”.

Thats not leadership, turning against whats right the moment the politics of your base gets tough.

President Barack Obama promised Hispanic leaders on Thursday he’ll continue to champion a comprehensive change to the nation’s immigration laws and said America’s greatness comes from building opportunities, not walls.

Leadership is not fanning the flames of intolerance and acting all surprised when a fire breaks out.

“We’re going to help more husbands and wives of American citizens get their green cards without separating them from their families”, he said. “Saying clearly inflammatory things and then saying, ‘Well, that’s not what I meant, ‘ until you do it again, and again, and again”.

Clinton’s invoking of Trump at a Washington event hosted by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus elicited loud boos from the audience.

With immigration a major issue in the Republican presidential race, Obama referred at one point to GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and his call for a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexican border.

A statement from United We Dream following the incident said that the group was protesting Clinton taking campaign donations from private prisons, adding that half of detained immigrants are placed in private prisons.

“Think how much better our economy would be if the rest of his party got the message”, Obama told about 2,000 people during an awards dinner for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, which seeks to open the halls of Congress to more Latinos.

A few Republican presidential hopefuls, including Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, say they want to revoke so-called “birthright citizenship”, which automatically grants citizenship to anyone born in the USA, including the children of undocumented immigrants.

“We need people who will stand up to this ugly rhetoric and extreme thinking, who will say with our words and our actions, basta, enough”, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton said.

I’m sure there’s plenty of libtards quite content to live on a stipend from “Obama’s stash”, but for many millions more, it’s getting really really old having to compete with foreigners for jobs, not to mention the lowering wages the invaders cause. FUBO

Obama has made a mockery of the constitution and the legal system. In the next year until Obama leaves the office that he has he will continue to destroy this country. He is a narcissist and is on a downward spiral. Unfortunately he is going to destroy this country. But his handlers already knew this and it was all hidden from the American people.

What is happening in Chicago and Baltimore is only going to continue to spread throughout the country. His goal is to declare martial law and he is laying the groundwork so that in a few months he will achieve his goal. The fact that the country and the people will suffer is irrelevant to him.

He says that he is a Christian but when was he baptizesd? When did he give testimony to renounce his muslim faith, never.

It is obvious that people only want free stuff and do not care about this country. eventually they are going to run out of other pople’s money and anarchy will follow.

When it comes to fanning the flames of intolerance, Obama rivals Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharptongue,and Jesse Jackson.

Zer0 is so confused

No, Obamao is not confused. He is a despicable, devious, deceitful, wretched human being... Ok, so that last one is debatable, but the fact is that he is not confused. He is deliberately disingenuous, divisive, and deceitful.

He is evil incarnate.

Hispanics who abandon family members are not really the kind of people who should be Americans.

Family or lack of it has been cited as a root cause to many problems.

Apparently Obama has the view that once a person is in the US by any means that person is a citizen. Of course for him ‘change’ is what he takes such to be.

I expect no less from the Anti-Anything Person occupying the office of the Presidency these past too many years will say or do. Rush Limbaugh said a long time ago...almost eight years ago. Choosing Hildabeast over Obama would be the best of two evils! He was right. She's an American,crooked and dirty. Obama has led a path of destruction.It will take A Strong Leader to Correct such a corrupted direction this Country has been driven into! I remember being so angry at Rush ,telling all of us, to vote Hildabeast in the primaries over Obama! I'm like has he lost his mind! He was so Right On this. Hillary was predictable lying liberal but Obama...well,as they say ,the rest is still going on to this day!

Guess Hussein still hasn't grasped the mood of the Country; the mood of people who actually work, but for any government entity of any kind, and who pay taxes and don't receive ANY welfare of any kind

I was in Southern Cali recently and saw the scores of properties with basically dead yards. I thought to myself maybe, JUST maybe if California didn’t have so many damn illegals infesting it they could re-claim the trillions of gallons of water the illegals are using for their own land. Novel concept to be sure, but one the citizens need to start waking up to. The only “drought” CA. is facing is one being siphoned right in front of their faces by means of politicians screwing over the law abiding, tax paying citizen for votes (illegally) from the damn wetbacks.
