"yes we can"

[LilOlLady]

“YES WE CAN”

Did Obama mention illegal aliens in his speech? Is he going to create jobs for them and leave some hard working American without a job, not able to pay his mortgage, buy food for his children and send his children to college? Because that is what a path to citizenship or amnesty will do on a big scale.
Obama; “those that play by the rule should be allowed a path to legal status.” the ones who entered this country by breaking all the rules. Those that “play by the rules” are the ones waiting in line in Mexico,etc. The cost of illegal immigration is part of the reason the economy is in a failed state. Millions of illegal aliens defaulted on their mortgage and left bank holding the bag. And failing.
Some illegal aliens are still working in this economy. Doing jobs Americans are more than willing to do. Charity begins at home. What President Eisenhower did when jobs were scarce, he rounded up illegal aliens and deported them. If this can happen in 1953, he can be done in 2010. “YES WE CAN.”


~ OPERATION WETBACK ~
Has anyone noticed that Hoover and Ike were both a conservative and a moderate, but both Republican as well?

Back during the early years of the Great Depression, then President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all illegal aliens in order to make the jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work. Approximately one-million Mexicans were sent home during this endeavor. .3 million left on their own.
Once again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 1.3 million Mexican nationals (called ‘Operation Wetback’) in order that returning American WWII and Korean veterans had a better chance at jobs.

If America could deport the illegal invaders back then, they can sure do it today! If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, just type ‘Operation Wetback’ into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

Perhaps we should return to the halcyon days of Republican control with deregulated banks and losing war strategies.

We should turn our gaze to the GOP and allow them to turn a blind eye to derivative markets, unemployment and Osama bin Laden.

 

[Angelhair]

Perhaps!

 

[Nosmo King]

Perhaps!

You don't believe that the policies of the previous administration caused any of the problems the current administration inherited?

If you don't, please tell me why.

If you do, why would you want to repeat the same mistakes?

And if that is the case, why would you say something like Obama is trying to damage this country? Wasn't the damage on his desk when he moved into the White house?

I thought Obama "hit a homer" with his speech?

A far left extremist like the Hussein is never going to turn the immigration problem around. He doesn't even view it as a problem. This is the same guy who wishes he could do away with his white blood, so you think he gives a shit about preserving white America? He would love nothing more than to see millions of Mexicans flood the country, given the right to vote so they can vote for Dems that will promise free handouts via taxing the "rich white man".

'You don't believe that the policies of the previous administration caused any of the problems the current administration inherited?'
Can you name ONE president who has not inherited problems from previous administrations???? O is a cry baby!
'If you don't, please tell me why.'
The finger pointing is childish and non-productive. Get a clue.
'If you do, why would you want to repeat the same mistakes?'
What mistakes is he repeating??? All he has done so far is point fingers and blame - how does that help??? The point is to move forward and that can't be done unless he has the strength to be a LEADER which so far he is not doing.
' if that is the case, why would you say something like Obama is trying to damage this country? Wasn't the damage on his desk when he moved into the White house?'
His far left policies are not good for this country! He has surrounded himself with radical advisors. EVERY president leave garabe behind - that is why we elect a new president every 4/8 years! It is his job to clean up whatever mess is left behind! O has ONLY created more of a mess. It will take a strong president to clean up HIS mess.

When the previous administration took office, there was a budget surplus. We had enjoyed eight years of peace and prosperity. There was very little 'mess' to clear up.

I suggest you bone up on history and stop paying attention to flame thrower 'pundits' like Beck.

Amen to that! Maybe Nosmo King should educate himself and stop living in denial.

“YES WE CAN”

Did Obama mention illegal aliens in his speech? Is he going to create jobs for them and leave some hard working American without a job, not able to pay his mortgage, buy food for his children and send his children to college? Because that is what a path to citizenship or amnesty will do on a big scale.
Obama; “those that play by the rule should be allowed a path to legal status.” the ones who entered this country by breaking all the rules. Those that “play by the rules” are the ones waiting in line in Mexico,etc. The cost of illegal immigration is part of the reason the economy is in a failed state. Millions of illegal aliens defaulted on their mortgage and left bank holding the bag. And failing.
Some illegal aliens are still working in this economy. Doing jobs Americans are more than willing to do. Charity begins at home. What President Eisenhower did when jobs were scarce, he rounded up illegal aliens and deported them. If this can happen in 1953, he can be done in 2010. “YES WE CAN.”


~ OPERATION WETBACK ~
Has anyone noticed that Hoover and Ike were both a conservative and a moderate, but both Republican as well?

Back during the early years of the Great Depression, then President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all illegal aliens in order to make the jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work. Approximately one-million Mexicans were sent home during this endeavor. .3 million left on their own.
Once again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 1.3 million Mexican nationals (called ‘Operation Wetback’) in order that returning American WWII and Korean veterans had a better chance at jobs.

If America could deport the illegal invaders back then, they can sure do it today! If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, just type ‘Operation Wetback’ into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

He know it will not pass with democrats and republicans. It failed twice before and it don't have a chance in hell passing in this economy. More people will come out against than ever before.
What we will see is stronger enforcement.

This post reaks of racist red-neck, bigotry. I'm quite certain that most of you also are against Food Stamps being given to unemployed Negro women with starving children to feed.

Yes, deny the minorities food, deny them abortion, deny them medical care - thats the USA we all know and laugh at.

 

[Stephanie]

so abortion is ranked up there with food.
that is the one way the lefties see as "taking care" of the Negro woman. Black people should feel so comforted by this.

Yes, deny the minorities food, deny them abortion, deny them medical care - thats the USA we all know and laugh at.

When has obeying the laws become racist?

The USA that YOU all know and laugh at seems to be the country of choice for millions. Could it be because of the food stamps, welfare checks, free medical, free schooling, free dental, free vision, free abortion clinics, free housing, that this country gives to those who come here? Gees, what a concept. So keep laughing. The joke is on you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

and the right did so much for this issue?

Yes they did....Bush and McCain led the effort...and the Dems took a backseat and gave speeches to illegals promising they will help them....as a matter of fact encouraging them to break the law.
