Obama on immigration promise: I was naive

September 20, 2012 1:07 PM

Pressed on his broken immigration reform promise, President Obama on Thursday at the "Univision" forum in Coral Gables, Fla., laid the blame at the feet of House Republicans, who he said supported it, then "walked away."

The reason that Obama gave was a FACT. Blame is appropriate when it is earned and a matter of public record, as in the congressional voting rolls.

You can't vote one way and deny it when convenient, unless you are a GOP stonewaller.

We need to Stop Illegal immigration! They're not just doing jobs that Americans don't want. Do they pay taxes? Don't get me wrong most of these people work very hard, but are a drain on the system if they don't pay taxes, have healthcare coverage, learn the language or get paid wages that are in line with their American counterparts. Who's footing the bill for the education of their children and the infrastructure around them? We all know that the health care provided to uninsured illegals here in the states is being averaged into our hospital costs and our insurance premiums, which have proportionately increased along with illegal immigration over the last 20 years? These costs are also being passed along to Medicaid and Medicare, which means that not only are they increasing our insurance premiums, but that we're paying for them again with our tax dollars.

Our tax dollars and insurance premiums should not be used to recoup the cost of healthcare given to illegal immigrants, who shouldn't even be here in our country in the first place.

To the people that disagree, we should ask them should this: If a few illegal immigrants knocked on your door and demanded that you pay some medical bills for them, would you pay them?

Just look around and you'll see who's doing 90% of the residential renovations, construction and property maintenance jobs. That's certainly what we're seeing in the northeast.
