Thread: Obama: ‘Borders Mean Something’ for the Majority of Americans

A reflective President Barack Obama tells Rolling Stone about his failure to pass immigration reform, and discusses borders and the path forward for activists.

“It’s going to be important for Democrats and immigration-rights activists to recognize that for the majority of the American people, borders mean something,” he said.

Despite his executive effort to go above Congress and grant amnesty to illegal immigrants, Obama called for a solution that respected both the rule of law and America’s immigrant roots.

“Those things don’t have to be contradictory, but there have been times where in our big-heartedness around immigration, we haven’t adequately addressed how do we get the orderly and lawful part of it down,” he admitted.

Obama predicted that immigration reform would probably not happen over the next four years, but called for “smart changes” on the process of legal immigration.

He acknowledged that many in Central America were crossing the border after passing through Mexico.

“What we can do is to work along the borders in a cooperative way with Mexico so that the pressure of what are now mostly Central American immigrants into our country is handled in a humane way,” he said.

Ultimately, Obama argued, Republicans would have to address immigration reform if they didn’t want to lose support from Asians and Latinos.

“[T]here are those in the Republican Party who recognize that regardless of how this election played itself out, over time, alienating a big chunk of the Latino voters, the Asian voters, is gonna be a problem,” he said. “And that gives [Republicans] some self-interest in solving this in a sensible way.”

You know I think the President, media, etc., would like everyone to believe that anyone of Latin descent is in favor of illegal immigration.
That is just not true. Many Americans, of Hispanic/Latin descent, don't like this any more than other Americans.

Certainly, they may feel an some attachment, but because the illegals quite often are living in their communities, they are bearing the brunt of much of their lawlessness, job loss, etc.

Hispanic and Latino Americans view all of these issues the same as any American citizen. No American Citizen of any background, race or ethnic origin supports illegal immigration unless they're on the take with the drug cartels behind this disaster and that includes any phony church or religion or 501 C 3 touting otherwise. When you take positions or stances that defy human logic, our laws, common sense and real humanity for our own people, you are quite simply ON THE TAKE. There is no other explanation for church leaders or 501 C 3 orgies to step over homeless Americans on their way to a protest or political meeting to protect illegal aliens. No explanation whatsoever, EXCEPT, they're ON THE TAKE following the money. It is not a race or language or ethnicity issue, it's an issue simply of who is on the take and who isn't.

It's that simple. Nothing more complicated about it than that simple tragic reality.

Get them out of the country, get them all out, do it fast, efficiently, quietly, and this problem will be over in the United States once and for all. If someone calls you a "racist" because you want to deport illegal aliens, you call them a "drug hack". The law is on our side, not theirs.
