the key word in all this is "illegal" and this is where is would be appropriate to use the word "entitlements" because that's what a lot of these people seem to expect
my job is gone because I'm over 50, and a lot of the work is being outsourced out of the country because of taxes...I've followed all the rules, payed all the taxes, but not "entitled" yet...where's mine?
BEFORE you go spouting off at the mouth.... you had better research YOUR family history. I would guess that 95% of immigrants come to America BEFORE they complete their paperwork to become citizens and the INCLUDES some of all of our ancestors.
Some came to escape war, some to escape famine and many other emergency situations in which we relaxed the rules out of compassion.
My great,great,great,great,great grandfather came here as an immigrant from Ireland in 1768 and he was living here and WAS NOT a citizen- because we didn't have a country yet! Yet that immigrant fought in the revolutionary war for you to have YOUR freedoms. The other side of my family has been here for about 330 years, so they were immigrants also.
Many Scottish came over to fight, I believe, in the war of 1812 and decided to stay after the war. They were not even illegal immigrants.... they were the enemy! So if you are Scottish, Irish, Jewish,French,Italian,Spanish,Korean, Vietnamese, Cuban,or even German.... you had best do some research about your own ancestors first BEFORE you start knocking people who came to this country before they were citizens.
And by the way, before you relish and enjoy your freedoms in this country..... stop and thank an immigrant who fought and died for you, built the country for you, built the dams that provide your electricity, the roads systems you drive on, the railroads that bring your goods to market, built you nuclear arsenal,built you military ( yes, the Navy was built before we were a country), your internet and even the computer you write such an ignorant post on.
When the President of the United States refuses to enforce the laws he took an oath to uphold for political votes it makes the US look weak in the eyes of the world. Without laws the corrupt would rule and even the Mexicans would not like that.
Underfunding of enforcement efforts for decades require partial enforcement. President Obama is deporting more illegals even though the program is underfunded than any of his predecessors. Stormer-- do you advocate returning to past policies of deporting less illegals or are you ready to provide the trillion dollars and 10 years necessary according to ICE (under Bush) to clean up the existing problem?
I watched the entire speech. Romney simply made no impression on hundreds of attendees whose contintuency includes millions of hispanic voters. He committed himself to nothing specific. It would have been much better for him had he not made the speech.
My take is that Obama's people listened and recorded this speech and by now have dissected it 100%. In his turn today, I expect Obama to take Romney to the woodshed and gain several standing ovations while he is doing so.
Robert, in a short run, indeed, it would have been much better for him had he not made the speech. However, he cannot hide by saying nothing. And there is the trouble.
Wow! This is really amazing. Romney thinks he can just sell us a bunch of BS and expect us to buy it. (I really don't know how he made it as a business man because he couldn't sell me anything). And he should know by now that we don't trust or believe his sorry lying behind because he has a "forked tongue" like the snake. I wish that there was some way that every time Romney has to give a speech, someone could be there in the background rolling the clip of him where he's somewhere else saying the exact opposite. I mean, they do something similar every night on various news networks except Fox (and they don't count because Fox doesn't have anyone credible on that network). I believe Romney thinks his "superior" intelligence will allow him to razzle and dazzle us with a lot of words that mean absolutely nothing and we will fall for it. He was out there lying once again today when he spoke to a largely Hispanic audience telling them that Obama never tried to pass a bill on immigration. It was a huge whopper and we have the tape to prove it. The Dems actually did pass the Dream Act but when it went to t the senate for a vote, the Republicans filibustered it. Now here they are once again, caught lying. They really must must believe we are all either just stupid or have very short memories. Word to the wise Romney, we want more than "I'll do this and I'll do that just trust me" with no explanation of exactly what you will do and how you will do it. What? Are we supposed to just take your word on it? You should lay off the glue. You're a freakin Republican!!! We will never just take a republicans word on anything ever again. Obama will win by 5 points in November.
First, Romney will tell an audience almost anything to get votes. But Romney won't specify anything because deep in his heart he really doesn't care about anyone but the 1% and what they want.
I've noticed that all Republicans have this issue. I've tried contacting my local Representatives and they don't bother to answer unless you talk about something they agree with. They have no leadership and no guts.

Shouldn't that read: "Romney's speeches pleases few."
_________________________________
No, it should read "Romney's speeches please few."
pleases is the 3rd person singular present of the verb please. You need the plural version.
NEVER make a rule/law you are unwilling to enforce.
The president took an oath to uphold the constitution -- not ignore it
VOTE wisely in 2012 --- we need stability and security

Of course not, he's the plastic man, mannequin mitt, who simply cannot give details or specifics on anything -- completely void of leadership.
