Poor obama. He’s done everything possible to placate those silly Republicans regarding border security and immigration reform, all for nothing…. because they’ll never be satisfied!
In El Paso fundraising and pushing the DREAM act, obama spoke about all the things he’d done to placate the other side and how important immigrants are in our history.
[quote]In his speech, Obama noted that Intel, Google, Yahoo and eBay were all founded by an immigrant.[/quote]
Not surprising, since excepting the indigenous peoples, we ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS.
He also showed his customary snark.
[quote]“Maybe they’ll need a moat,” Obama said mockingly to laughter from the crowd. “Maybe they’ll want alligators in the moat.”[/quote]
That would be nice.
Obama also said that the border fence is ‘basically complete’.
Gateway Pundit: Today only 5% of the US-Mexico border fence complete or 36.3 miles.
But Republicans said Obama wasn’t telling the whole story about border security. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said Mexican cartels have increased their presence inside the U.S., the data on spillover crime and violence is “underreported” and that between 70 and 90 percent of Texas’ 1,200-mile border with Mexico is still not under operational control.
Want us to help you out with the DREAM act? Bet many on the right side of the aisle would swap it out for obamacare in a heartbeat…
>>>>“Maybe they’ll want alligators in the moat.”
Only if I’m close enough to push you in, Jackass…
Slight correction -
We are not all immigrants. Except for indigenous people, we are all immigrants or the descendants of immigrants.
But that doesn’t take away from your post. Obama is a fucking douche and has not been willing to work with Republicans from the start. His attitude is piss poor and childish.
Well, you knew what I meant.
Yes I did.
have no problem with immigrants… of the legal variety. hell, my in laws are immigrants…. wait…. ok, i have no problem with most legal immigrants.
You’re so funny…
I, also, have little problems with most legal immigrants…
It’s really quite simple. Yes, we’re primarily founded and descended from immigrants. But, and Barry, this is a BIG BUT, the immigrants LEARNED THE LANGUAGE, EMBRACED THE CULTURE, WERE PROUD TO BE AMERICAN, Period. First, and always, an American. Not an “Italian-American”, not a “Hispanic-American”, nor a “German-American” or any other such politically correct bullshit hyphen American. It’s just American. Period. End of sentence.
There was a time when that was enough. That was all that you had to say and for most people, that’s all they wanted to be.
But now Barry wants to paint us all as bug-eyed, fire-breathing trolls who lurk under bridges waiting for poor unsuspecting immigrants who only want to come here and be part of “the dream” and we’re waiting in our villages with pitchforks and torches.
Again, I think you’d be hard pressed to find people who are TRULY anti-immigration. What most of us (and by “us” I mean myself and those who think/feel as I do on the situation) have a problem with is (a) those who come illegally and get benefits, financial aid and more funds than those who were born here, work hard and try to better their lives and that of their families. Also what we have a problem with is the expectation that we should bend, kow-tow and aquiesce to THEIR needs, i.e. store merchandise and goods being written in English and Spanish. Because they don’t want to speak english, be english or have anything to do with the anglo-american way. Well, to paraphrase what the Prime Minister of Australia has said, you chose to come here – we didn’t make you. You want to be here, then you adapt to our ways, not the other way ’round. Don’t like it? There’s the door? We’re not holding you captive and you can find your way back to where you came from or somewhere else, because here we do things our way and it’s the only way it’s going to be done.
Thanks for playing and good luck somewhere else. :wave: Buh bye now. moon Don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
It would be nice to, once again, have a President who actually stood up for his country and his people. Hopefully 2012 will bring us such a person. Because I barely choked through the “Hope”, I don’t think there is enough mescaline to get us through his “dream”. I know there is a monster on the other side and quite frankly, I pass.
Republicans, Libertarians, Tea-Party, whatever you may be…if you want things to change, you’d best start dusting off your dossiere’s and getting ready to do your work. Because it’s going to be work to overcome the narcotic effect of the wafting bullshit that this man can spread over the country. I for one am buying a gas mask. I think ebay carries it…and if not, I’m sure I’ll find it on Overstock.
Wow! :clap: :thumbs: You go, Lee Ann!
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Hell, I came nowhere near to saying it that well.
:worship:
Sheesh, been gone for a while and here I go hijacking your comments again. Hmm, guess I should have yelled “jihad” before doing it. As I can’t say “Geronimo” since it’s considered offensive to some. But if I have Indian ancestry (feather, not dot) in my blood, does that excuse me or do I have to take myself out back and give myself a good whipping?
I’m confused and now my head is spinning :may: …what was I saying? I hope it was profound. But probably not.
LOVE your comments; don’t even think of changing!
I thought that naming things after Native Americans that are strong or brave, like Tomahawk missiles, the Apache helicopter or Geronimo missions was a sign of respect for their strength and bravery.
See?! That’s where it all starts to go wrong…thinking. :shock: That’s why we need the dumocrats and obeyme to give us what they think, oops, “feel”, we need and tell us what we should know and not worry about all the other pesky things.
Hmm, wonder if George Orwell is rolling or just blew into dust? :tinfoil:
Orwell is either spinning like a top or doing the told-ya-so dance!
Now… governmental alerts will be delivered to our cell, which we can opt out of… all except for OBAMA’S MESSAGES. We will have his messages on what to think and how to feel straight to our PHONE.
Think I’m going to be sick.
the phone thing is pissing me off – seriously.
Me too. It really is like something out of 1984.
Hmmm. I hardly ever answer my phone. Am I missing anything? Anyhow, we have a moat in Texas, it’s called the Rio Grande. If all the water in the Rio weren’t dammed up it would slow ‘em down some. Course then the Yankees wouldn’t have fruit and vegetables.
So, how do we get crocodiles into the Rio Grande?
Florida could send y’all some gators; we’ve too many of those critters as it is…
