President Obama challenged illegal immigration hardliner, Congressman Steve King, the Republican from Iowa, in an interview with National Public Radio.
“Steve King and I fundamentally disagree on immigration,” he said, bringing up the Iowa congressman, unprompted by the host.
“If your view is that immigrants are either fundamentally bad to the country or that we actually have the option of deporting 11 million immigrants, regardless of the disruptions, regardless of the cost, and that that is who we are as Americans, I reject that,” he said.

Clue: Self deportation... of the nudged..
Dishonest narrative - he’s just saying “immigrants” rather than ILLEGAL immigrants, which are at issue with this ‘11 million’ business.
It is also an absurd debate. Until and unless the border is secure, what to do with those already here is a completely nonsensical and academic argument. The fact of the matter is that if Obama and his liberal allies merely wanted these ‘11 million’ to be able to stay, they would have a far greater chance of this actually happening if the border was actually fully secured. Indeed - these illegal immigration activists, if they were really on the side of just wanting these people to be able to stay, would be shouting the loudest for the border fencing and other security measures to be fully implemented. But are they? No, of course not. They don’t really care about the ‘11 million’ - they are being exploited just like all of the other “victim” groups the liberals use as a means to an end. It’s a disgraceful, never ending pattern.
I see Obama is making up fake opponent positions again to make himself look slightly credible.
He’s a disaster when he debates actual people.
Over 4000 murders committed by illegal aliens each year.
Over 52,000 since 9/11.
Bush and Obama should be sharing a cell for being complicit in the mass murder of thousands of Americans.
Obama can suck his putter!
Immigrants are invited, Invaders are not.
I love how the Language is so easily manipulated by Obama.
The obvious follow up question, what “Immigrants”?
The democrat party if they could would like to empty Central and S America in the US simply to ensure their power. Traitors all.
I too stand with Steve.
After the first million, the rest self deport.
True, as demonstrated by President Eisenhower:
We have a president who does not want to address the real issue of leaky borders. Common sense suggests that you plug the leak before bailing out the water.
We need to stop the leak and then develop a policy or set of policies to deal with the illegal immigrants already in the country. We need a policy that is fair to those who did NOT jump the line to get into the USA.
We need a policy that is fair to those legal residents looking for jobs in the USA.
