Now, the anti-illegal alien crowd are true patriots!

Well, I'll have to partially disagree here. When Obama is talking about "anti-immigrant" stances, he's referring to Americans who want to stop illegal immigration, deport illegal aliens in accordance with US immigration law, and pause, stop or otherwise place a Moratorium on All New Immigration for a spell, I think at least 10 years, to give US time to fix the problems and reset the system in a manner that works, and by that I mean a manner that does not steal jobs from Americans, nor deflate our wages, and ends publicly and privately funded welfare programs to immigrants who can't sustain themselves here because we don't have enough money, jobs or opportunities for them and our own citizens, plus the legal immigrants who are already here.

That means he's calling most Americans "anti-immigrant" because most Americans are fed up with this massive immigration, legal and illegal, as Americans stand in lines for jobs that don't exist, and hold jobs that don't pay enough to sustain them, and as we watch the debt paying for it rise and rise with the tidal wave of people coming in.

Americans didn't cause this problem. Illegal aliens, amnesties, and excessive green cards and visas being handed out to people in other countries caused this. Americans are now in the position of having to solve it. And, it's not going to be pretty. So Obama is wrong on this issue, Congress has been wrong on this issue, most political candidates have been wrong on this issue, most churches and not for profits have been wrong on this issue, and why not? They make money from being wrong on this issue. So, sadly, Americans are going to have to be the ones to stop this madness and end this travesty.

How do we do stop it? By speaking out, by throwing the crooks, thieves, liars and traitors out of office and doing and saying everything possible to elect people who will help US fix this disaster. It can't be done in a pretty fashion. The words have to be simple and direct and they are: "get out", "stay out", "no more" and so forth. Those are the only words in our language that deliver the simple messages necessary to fix this mess. It's a very unfortunate situation, but I don't see any other means to the end.
