Obama Begins 2012 Campaign: Amnesty for 12 Million Illegal Immigrants
While America faces both historical domestic and international challenges, Obama is turning to what has served him best over his political career to put America back on the road to prosperity… campaigning. And if you thought the 2008 presidential race was the longest, most expensive, and most controversial… you ain’t seen nothing yet.
According to the NY Times, Obama will begin addressing the country’s illegal immigration system this year including a legal path to citizenship for 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.
Mr. Obama plans to speak publicly about the issue in May, administration officials said, and over the summer he will convene working groups, including lawmakers from both parties and a range of immigration groups, to begin discussing possible legislation for as early as this fall.
Some White House officials said that immigration would not take precedence over the health care and energy proposals that Mr. Obama has identified as priorities. But the timetable is consistent with pledges Mr. Obama made to Hispanic groups in last year’s campaign.
He said then that comprehensive immigration legislation, including a plan to make legal status possible for an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, would be a priority in his first year in office. Latino voters turned out strongly for Mr. Obama in the election.
“He intends to start the debate this year,” Ms. Muñoz said.
The race for 2012 just started. Actually it started much earlier since technically Obama never stopped campaigning and locking up 12+ million votes has been in the works for quite awhile.
ACORN, the National Day Laborer Organizer Network, and House Democrats kicked things off in Arizona by requesting the Department of (in)Justice investigate Sheriff Joe Arpiao’s enforcement of immigration laws. ACORN was back at it with support from the U.S. Census Bureau to assist in 2010’s redistricting. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) joined the campaign and was whipping up legal and illegal immigrants calling them patriotic and current U.S. immigration laws un-American. Following the party’s momentum, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced a postponement of immigration raids and a new focus on businesses rather than illegal immigrants. April Fool’s day wasn’t fooling anyone when Commerce Secretary Gary Locke met with Hispanic special interest groups demanding immigration reform or risk the “future of the United States,” because the next day the Census Bureau was enlisting Univision, the National Council of La Raza, the League of United Latin American Citizens, and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials to make sure every illegal would be counted.
Make no mistake about it, the race for 2012 is on and American’s still have much to pay for the inauguration.
I believe that Obama is the worst president we have ever had with his constantly putting the best interest of the American people behind all of these foreigners in the world. Just last week he said that we are too arrogant to the European nations and now he is going to use his excellent campaigning strategies to undermind the American people who are loyal to this country and force us to drink this Koolaid that he has prepared to blind us to his real agenda which is to destroy all resistence and make this a dictatorship not a democracy. I am currently unemployed in my field of work and this is mostly because of Mexicans who have come here fully grown and expect to be treated as if they belong to this country by divine right and now I am being told that these people will not take any American jobs because they already have jobs. Well Yeah! They have all of the United States citizens jobs and now just because they voted for him he is ready to give them the house and the car to go with it while bankrupting our auto industry because they are truly the picture of the American worker, white and black. Not to be prejudice but when I hear that one out of every new citizen to the U.S.A. is hispanic and that one out of every five babies is hispanic I feel saddened. The horror that is Mexico did not just happen by accident and if we do not do something to stop these illegal aliens from taking over our country we won’t have any country to be patriotic over. Obama is doing everything in his power to destroy our country, he must be stopped. It is time to exercise our God given rights as Americans and march against this tyranny instead of watching these illegals plan marches on our soil. Just the fact that they are on our ground illegally is enough to arrest them but they have no fear of us. We are all doomed!
I and many others know exactly how you feel Jennifer. You aren’t alone trust me. And we aren’t all doomed but you are right… we do have to step up as Americans and defend what our government has abandoned.
obama is not going to make it to another term. he will not pass amnesty. and that was the end of that
