Obama: No Tie Between Illegal Immigration and Inner City Wages

Obama takes a question about how illegal immigration drives down wages in African-American communities, and rejects the idea that inner-city unemployment is influenced by immigration. He calls the question "scapegoating." Wild applause from the audience.

Mustn't acknowledge disagreements within those Democratic demographics, hmm?

"We have had tax cuts that went up instead of down."

Nice a guy as he is, Obama does remind you he's a Democrat.

"People who are here without documentation." Man, Hillary Clinton can't even bring herself to say the words, "illegal immigrants."

Hillary also refers to helping Mexico's economy grow. In my head, I know one of the best things to reduce illegal immigration would be a growing Mexican economy. But in my gut, I'm asking, "why are we responsible for their economic growth? Why can't they tackle their corruption, bureaucracy, inefficiencies, state-run industries, class differences, and instability on their own?"

"I worked with Ted Kennedy, I worked with Dick Durbin... I worked with John McCain, even though he may not admit it now." Dang, Mitt Romney is applauding somewhere tonight. Those words may end up in a Romney ad before Tuesday.

Obama: "If we fix our legal immigration system, we won't have this problem with undocumented workers." Oh, horsepuckey. Man, I like the guy's style, but it's absolute liberal pablum once he starts talking policy. The 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants in this country are not here because there were lines that were too long at INS or too much paperwork. They're here because the door is open, not enough people are trying to keep them out, and employers will pay them and don't fear the consequences.

Hillary calls the House legislation "mean-spirited" and says it "would criminalize the Good Samaritan and Jesus Christ himself."

Obama: "She took a variety of positions over six weeks... She has a clear position now, but it took a while."

Obama says he agrees with some guy named "Bill Richardson." Why does that name seem familiar?*

* I'm joking.

Simply sharing a border with Mexico does not create any obligation whatsoever for the United States to subsidize Mexico's existence.

When are our elected officials finally going to understand and accept this concept ?

I'd like to see that too. I don't think his ads have been hard enough hitting on illegal immigration and on McCain's position.

Dear Mr. Obama,

Illegal immigration drives down wages in ALL communities of working people.

"Scapegoating" is exactly what you did when the question was put to you.

Ahyone hear the part where she said she didn't support DLs for illegals because it might put them at risk?

HILDEBEAST:

"I do not think that it is either appropriate to give a driver's license to someone who's here undocumented, putting them frankly at risk, because that is clear evidence that they are not here legally."

Good to know she cares more about the safety of illegals than the masses innocent Americans who get killed by unlicensed, uninsured, illegally driving invaders. What a bi-atch. WTF is she babbling about?

I wish somebody would pop this flaming liberal's bubble!

"I do not think that it is either appropriate to give a driver's license to someone who's here undocumented, putting them frankly at risk, because that is clear evidence that they are not here legally."

There goes Hillary trying to have it both ways again. To legal American citizens: No, we aren't going to give illegals a DL. To illegals: We're doing it for YOUR safety. Give me a break
