...here we go again with the filthy dynamics of politics. The L.A. Times reported this morning that again, Obama has expressed his support for the immigration reform that more than 12 million people that are undocumented in the U.S. This is all good, but the true question is when? and how?WHEN?!?!? What these politicians need to realize is that talk is cheap and we are all tired of waiting for something that clearly is no where in sight. In his speech, he spoke only vaguely on his support for immigration reform, but at no point did he mention a date or anything! While he has pressured congress to have something on healthcare by the fall, immigration seems to be still just a topic that comes up here and there...vague and with no foundation in the white house.
HOW?!?!?! Now Obama is supporting a notion that I find to be ridiculous and unrealistic. He said in his speech that he supports the idea of immigrants to return to their home countries and wait in "the back of the line" because he thinks it's the fair thing to do. Are you kidding me?!??! Many, if not most, of these immigrants have a life established here! The have rooted their existence in this country and most importantly, have contributed to this country vastly! THIS IS THEIR HOME COUNTRY!!! Plus, who are we kidding??!!? Once out of the U.S. it is a gamble of whether these people will EVER be granted what they deserve - their legal residency. I am by no means saying that they should legalize everyone, simply that they be more realistic and look at those people who have done something productive here in the U.S. and have had a good moral character. I fully understand the need for a tighter border control, but sending people back to countries they only have vague memories (mostly bad ones) of, that is just RIDICULOUS!!!!
With that said, ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST OBAMA? What happened to the promise of hope?!?!? Have you forgotten that already?!?!?!?
