Obama: "I Am Absolutely Confident ... We're Doing Right Thing' On Immigration
Obama: "I Am Absolutely Confident ... We're Doing Right Thing' On Immigration

SPresident Obama said his executive actions on immigration will ultimately survive legal challenges by Republicans.
"We're going to be be as aggressive as we can because, not only do we know that the law's on our side, but history is also on our side," Obama said.
Obama was in Miami to take part in a town hall hosted by Telemundo and MSNBC. It was the first time Obama talked at length about a ruling by a Texas court that found he had overstepped his bounds when he provided temporary legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants.
The administration has already appealed the ruling and Obama said they are willing to take that appeal all the way to the Supreme Court.
Obama also warned Republicans about trying to legislate against his executive actions.
"In the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate and the speaker of the House John Boehner want to have a vote on whether what I'm doing is legal or not, they can have that vote," Obama said. "I will veto that vote because I'm absolutely confident that what we're doing is the right thing to do."
Obama added that in the long term, this issue would be resolved because of the country's changing demographics.
"This is going to get solved because at some point there's going to be a President Rodriguez or there's going to be a President Chen," Obama said. "The country is a nation of immigrants, and ultimately it will reflect who we are and its politics are going to reflect who we are."
Obama was asked why he had left out the parents of DREAMERs and international students from his legislation and he said that his executive authority has limits.
Ultimately, he said, the actions he has taken could be undone by the next administration and the only way to provide permanence is to pass a law.
"In order to make sure that we don't have any heart-breaking stories with respect to immigration, we're going to have to fix the law," he said. "There are only so many shortcuts. Ultimately we have to change the law. And people have to remain focused on that. And the way that happens is, by the way, by voting."

This self serving sack of sh*@ certainly doesn't care about doing the right thing for this country or the American people. He's only concerned about destroying this country by letting in every thug criminal element the world has to offer and turning them into thug criminal anti-American democrat voters. He and his ilk are out to totally destroy us. He is an islamic terrorist sympathizer who believes just as they do. He is one of them. And I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN he is a traitor to this country and should be dealt with as such ASAP. I won't hold my breath.

Obama to Amnesty Beneficiaries: ‘There’s Going to Be a President Rodriguez Someday’

Republicans should stop fighting amnesty, President Obama said on Thursday, because one day a Hispanic will become president.
“Over the long term, this is going to get solved, because at some point there’s going to be a President Rodriguez or there’s going to be a President Chen,” Obama told a Florida International University town hall audience, hosted by Telemundo and MSNBC.
“The country is a nation of immigrants, and ultimately it will reflect who we are and its politics are going to reflect who we are,” Obama continued, implying that neither native-born Americans or legal immigrants have moral standing to determine who enters and stays in the country.
Hispanic foreigners attending the town hall — Fox News Latino did not say whether they were legal or illegal aliens — told Obama they feared that federal Judge Andrew Hansen’s stay on Obama’s executive order will force them to return to their home countries. (Fox News Latino incorrectly identifies Hansen as a Texas judge.)
The five million illegal aliens covered by Obama’s executive order could also cash in on as much as $35,000 in taxpayer handouts. That’s a minimum $175 million cost to American taxpayers for the first year alone, not counting the massive strain the low-income, poorly-educated, gang-prone aliens with high rates of illegitimacy and untreated diseases will place on the country’s medical and social institutions.
Obama’s claim that “history” was on his side is arguably false. The massive, historically unprecedented wave of immigrants crashing across the U.S. southern border is a political phenomenon, set in motion by the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act and accelerated by the Obama administration’s disastrous Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
The explosion of the Hispanic population has long-term job prospect consequences as well: Both legal and illegal aliens will occupy 75 percent of new American jobs in as little as five years.
Each year, four million Americans seeking jobs turn 18. In 2012, almost six million Americans graduated from college, saddled with an average $27,000 in student loan debt — $8,000 less than the handouts available for illegals presently in the country.

Wow. Well, congratulations Harvard! Obama has just proven that on the issue of Constitutional Law and the 14th Amendment, your law school is one huge failure. So all you young people with your hopes and dreams resting on a great education from Harvard, and being part of an informed and enlightened elite? Forget it. Save your money, and go to your state university so you can earn a real, solid, American education.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan
