    Obama: Latinos Should Vote to Give Undocumented Family Members a Voice

    Obama: Latinos Should Vote to Give Undocumented Family Members a Voice



    6 Nov 2016

    In an interview with Latino star Gina Rodriguez, President Barack Obama urged all American Latinos to vote, specifically Latino citizens who knew illegal immigrants or had illegal family members living in the United States.

    Rodriguez asked Obama whether “undocumented citizens” should vote, specifying that she calls illegal immigrants “citizens” because they contribute and work in the United States.

    Obama ignored her question, specifying that all Latino citizens should vote and that fears of them getting deported if they did were “not true.”
    Read the full exchange below:

    RODRIGUEZ: Is the election rigged?

    OBAMA: No. Unfortunately, here in America, there is a tradition of making it hard for people to vote. You know, historically, it was done purposefully to prevent African-Americans from voting. And that tradition sometimes has carried over. But here’s the good news: even though people try to discourage you from voting, if you want to vote, and you show up at your polling place, they can’t stop you from voting.

    RODRIGUEZ: Hm.

    OBAMA: They can’t stop you from voting. If people want to know how to vote, then you can go to iwillvote.com. The fact of the matter is that we give our power away all the time. You know, we tell ourselves, “it’s hard, it’s not gonna matter, it’s not gonna count.” And the powers that be, they’re counting on us giving our power away.

    RODRIGUEZ: Many of the Millennials, DREAMers, undocumented citizens — and I call them “citizens” ’cause they contribute to this country — are fearful of voting. So if I vote, will immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?

    OBAMA: Not true.

    RODRIGUEZ: Okay.

    OBAMA: And the reason is — first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself, and there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating, et cetera. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for. If you have a family member who maybe is undocumented, then you have an even greater reason to vote.

    RODRIGUEZ: This has been a huge fear presented, especially during this election.

    OBAMA: And the reason that fear is promoted is because they don’t want people voting. People are discouraged from voting. And part of what is important for Latino citizens is to make your voice heard, because you’re not just speaking for yourself. You’re speaking for family members, friends, classmates of yours in school–

    RODRIGUEZ: Your entire community.

    OBAMA: …Who may not have a voice. Who can’t legally vote. But they’re counting on you to make sure that you have the courage to make your voice heard.

    There are laws being broken all over the place! Why can't we have legal advocacy groups that actually shine a light on these?

    -Hillary Clinton at the black and latinos news conference in Aug. promised a benefit in exchange for votes. This is a quid pro quo offer.
    -Any official of the United States cannot advocate for foreign principals
    § 219. Officers and employees acting as agents of foreign principals
    (a) Whoever, being a public official, is or acts as an agent of a foreign principal required to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 or a lobbyist required to register under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 in connection with the representation of a foreign entity, as defined in section 3(6) of that Act shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than two years, or both.

    Our national securty laws are not merely afterthoughts. They are intrinsic to preserving our independence.

    It's so pathetic to shout to the world as an angry black man that you're only hope for Clinton to sustain your "legacy" is to ask Latinos to encourage illegal voting or ask American Latinos to not for for themselves and our country but to vote for the benefit of illegal aliens.

    You're OUT OF CARDS, Buffoon Barack. You're OUT OF DIRTY TRICKS, Clown Obama. You're a DESPERATE LAME DUCK, Moron Barack Obama. You know that if Trump wins, ALL OF YOU are going to jail. Just tell your Latinos, "We need your help to keep us out of prison for all the corruption we did selling you out."

    TELL THEM THE TRUTH!!!

    Oh never mind, TRUMP WILL TELL THEM!!!!
