Obama Has Shown Courage To Stand With Us, Say Americas Joyful Latinos Presidents move to grant amnesty to 5 million immigrants delights Hispanics at rally in Las Vegas
Rory Carroll 22 November 2014
Should Hillary Clinton, or any other Democrat, become the next US president, you may be able to trace their victory to a roll of the political dice played out last week beside a Las Vegas highway. Barack Obamas cavalcade trundled up the road and into Del Sol high school on Friday to bring his case for the most sweeping immigration reform in decades to a rally in Nevadas gambling capital.
A bright desert sun illuminated two contrasting tableaux. From the school entrance snaked hundreds of people, mostly Latino, giddy and upbeat, come to hear and cheer a president who had decided to shield almost five million illegal immigrants from deportation by offering them temporary legal status and work permits. Across the street stood about two dozen protesters white, indignant and angry with megaphones. Placards amplified the message: No amnesty! Deport them all! Oust Obama!
Democrats from Washington who hitched a ride to the event on Air Force One could not resist smiling. It was a banner day for civil rights. But, more prosaically, the scenes on both sides of the highway sprinkled optimism on their chances of keeping the White House after Obama.
The Latino vote is going to stay solid Democratic, said Bill Richardson, a former New Mexico governor and one of the partys leading Latino figures. I think the party in deep trouble is the Republican party. Theyre digging themselves in a very bad hole with Latino voters for 2016. Dolores Huerta, a veteran and well-known labour activist, agreed. I think they can win Congress, but not the presidency.

Sorry ltainos. Obola doesn’t give a flying fig about you. He is a cynical America-hater who wants you here to help destroy capitalism and freedom. If you die in the process, he will laugh and tee up his next drive.
Oh yeah? LBJ said pretty much the same thing about the South voting democrat for a couple of centuries and we know how that turned out.
Say, Joyful Latino, have you ever noticed the state of things in the black community after decades of hitching their wagon to the DemocRAT star?
illegal illegals
On the continent of Africa and in Marxist countries the powerful hold onto power by culling the herd to match GDP capacity to sustain.
In democracies around the world, power is retained by boosting the breeding stock exponentially and borrowing the costs to sustain from the promised future output of the same stock.
I saw a survey that stated that Latinos don’t care about the illegal immigration issue. Or at least, it is not as important at other issues.
To be fair to LBJ, he was referring to a specific voting bloc. He used a certain word to describe that constituency that will get you in big trouble today.
Unless, of course you are a rapper or a DemocRAT/Senator/Grand Kleagle/DemocRAT from West Virginia.
>>Oh yeah? LBJ said pretty much the same thing about the South voting democrat for a couple of centuries and we know how that turned out.
Actually, that came out to be TRUE. He didn’t say that the south would vote Democrat for 200 years, just the n.....s. (His words, not mine.)
First American president to F his own people.
Last weeks executive action leaves about six million of the estimated 11 million undocumented Latinos vulnerable to deportation, and grants only three-year protection to beneficiaries.
The article ended with numbers.. here's some more from the U.S. Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
FOREIGN-BORN WORKERS: LABOR FORCE CHARACTERISTICS 2013
The foreign born include legally-admitted immigrants, refugees, temporary residents such as students and temporary workers, and undocumented immigrants.
Highlights from the 2013 data:
- In 2013, there were 25.3 million foreign-born persons in the U.S. labor force, comprising 16.3 percent of the total. (See table 1.)
- Hispanics accounted for 47.8 percent of the foreign-born labor force in 2013 and Asians accounted for 24.3 percent. (See table 1.) (Data in this news release for persons who are white, black, or Asian do not include those of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Data on persons of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity are presented separately.)
- Foreign-born workers were more likely than native-born workers to be employed in service occupations and less likely to be employed in management, professional, and related occupations and in sales and office occupations. (See table 4.)
- The median usual weekly earnings of foreign-born full-time wage and salary workers were $643 in 2013, compared with $805 for their native-born counterparts. (See table 5.) (Differences in earnings reflect a variety of factors, including variations in the distributions of foreign-born and native-born workers by educational attainment, occupation, industry, and geographic region.)
In 2013, foreign-born mothers with children under 18 years old were less likely to be labor force participants than were native-born mothers59.7 percent versus 72.7 percent. Labor force participation differences between foreign-born and native-born mothers were greater among those with younger children than among those with older children. The labor force participation rate of foreign-born mothers with children under age 6 was 51.2 percent in 2013, much lower than that for native-born mothers with children under age 6, at 67.4 percent. Among women with children under age 3, the participation rate for the foreign born (46.7 percent) was 18.2 percentage points below that for nativeborn mothers (64.9 percent). The labor force participation rates of foreign-born and native-born fathers with children under age 18 were similar, at 93.6 percent and 92.6 percent, respectively. (See table 2.)
Formerly "undocumented immigrants" now (soon to be) legal residents and eligible for all government benefits "for the children." Ain't America wonderful? Again.. these Census / BLS data do not distinguish legal immigrants from ILLEGAL "immigrants".

Look at all the nations settled by the Spainards and their descendants. Mexico, Latin and South America, the Phillippines and Cuba all suffer from one problem or another. Poverty, lawlessness, political corruption, unstable governments and civil unrest. A good many of these countries are of Third World status especially those nations to our south who have so graciously allowed their citizens to invade us. We’re now the biggest and most wealthy of these nations and if the pattern holds we don’t have a bright future ahead of us.
Like I would be bragging about having illegals on my side.
You can have those and you’ll do with them as you did with the black population, Mr. Richardson and alike.
The liberal progressive democratic party is all about power over the masses so they can decide what is fair, what is honorable, what is just because they certainly don’t like the constitution and the affirmation in a higher purpose. The progressives are mostly to blame for the divisions that we see.
Who said these indians were latin?
Obama is just using you ,you FOOL ,have you been in a Box for the last 6 years
