Obama Doesn't Bother to Solicit English-Speaking Networks for Coverage

President Obama’s announcement of his immigration executive order Thursday night is apparently for Latino ears only. Though the White House claims that they sent out “feelers” to the major English-speaking networks, they didn’t bother sending an official request for coverage. Instead, only Latino networks Univision and Telemundo are airing the president’s 10-minute announcement.

As The Washington Post notes, the president’s 8 p.m. announcement comes at a particularly opportune time for reaching a “captive audience of Hispanic television viewers”: the 15th annual Latin Grammys, which airs on Univision starting at 7 p.m. Last year around 9.8 million viewers tuned into the awards ceremony. Univision is doing its part to make sure the president's message reaches its millions of viewers by temporarily postponing the show to broadcast Obama’s address.

Reports have it that illegal immigrants across the country are throwing watch parties in anticipation of the president’s announcement of amnesty for around 5 million immigrants here illegally. One Chicago Latino leader, Pastor Emma Lozano of Aldaberto United Methodist Church, told The Washington Times she’ll be watching the address alongside people currently facing deportation:

“We’re going to be watching this very closely, people in my church,” said Aldaberto. “We’re going to have the TV on in both languages and really praying and hoping we get what we deserve.”

Though Politico reports that the White House is “exasperated” that the big English-speaking networks “snubbed” the announcement, the same report reveals that the Obama administration didn’t bother sending the standard formal request for coverage to networks Wednesday. Instead, the White House simply posted an announcement of the message on its Facebook page—perhaps the first such announcement of its kind.

Your graphic is perfect! Because while miscreants of many nationalities will benefit from Obama's lawless anti-American act, the prime benefactor(s) will be Mexicans and Mexico.

The proof of this is the statistics from the last Amnesty (IRCA) of 1986.

"IRCA Legalization Effects" by U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service:

"75% of the IRCA population was born in Mexico"

"The New Era of Mexican Migration to the United States":

"Mexicans constitute 70 percent of those granted amnesty under the LAW program, 80 percent of those legalized under the SAW program, and 95 percent of those apprehended by the Border Patrol since the bill’s passage."

[Note: IRCA 1986 had two components: The Amnesty for agricultural workers under SAW and the larger amnesty for other illegals under LAW.]

Why is there no link to the article? Only a picture.

I believe I did read somewhere about Chavez importing people from other countries to help him keep power, but I do not remember which countries they were.

An Executive Order is only good until the new President comes in, right? So if the Republican President revokes Nobama’s EO, these people are back where they started from and WE.WILL.KNOW.WHO/WHERE.THEY ARE. Don’t know why they are getting so excited about it - it’s only temporary.

He didn’t want this broadcast nationally. He doesn’t want the American people to know what is in his imperial order. Meanwhile, my friend’s husband is waiting in Paris for the last three months and will have to wait at least four more months for his papers to come through. He did everything the right way. They are 23 and recently married, and now are separated by the family-uniting Obama administration. She is an American citizen. So unfair for all the skilled, professional, European people seeking to come to the U.S. legally, waiting their turn, as the law requires.
