Study: Latinos Upset With Obama But Back Him Over GOP
Despite Latinos' mounting disapproval of President Obama for his administration’s immigration policies, a majority of the demographic would still prefer to see him in the White House over his Republican challengers, according to a new study conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The study found that 59 percent of Latinos disapprove of Obama's handling of illegal immigrants in this country while 27 percent approve. The center estimates that about 81 percent of the 11.2 million illegal immigrants in the country are of Hispanic descent, although the group accounted for 97 percent of the immigrants deported in 2010 ...

Amen.

Shocker...LOL
Guillermo Covarrubias ? via Texas Tribune on Facebook
That is exactly my feeling on the whole thing. While Obama has two faced us, the GOP openly hates and threatens even more draconian measures a la Germany in the late 30s. So while I am not happy with Obama, the GOP scares me even more.

It is ironic that had hispanics voted overwhelmingly for Republican McCain over Obama, comprehensive immigration reform would now be the law.

I heard that President Obama plans to change his approach to immigration once he is re-elected. While Hispanics will continue to be deported in large numbers, they will be joined by Asians and Europeans. In their place we will be importing lots of Haitians, Nigerians, Sudanese, and of course Kenyans. We need to change the electorate if he is going to get himself named President-for-life like President Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Just kidding but you have to admit, I had you going.

A Pew study ... conducted among liberal Latinos by a liberal polling agency for liberal news media, I wonder why I'm not surprised at the result.
Guillermo, I'm yet to hear a single Republican advocate extermination camps, so I'll call you a liar. The ONLY "draconian measures" I've heard about were enforcing the law, a position supported overwhelmingly by the citizens of the United States.
Immigration reform, yes. Let's make the process easier, less expensive and cut the paperwork. Let's give priority to the families of adult citizens. Then let's fix the 14th Amendment so it can't be abused like it is currently being abused, and throw those who are employing illegal aliens into jail where they belong. Amnesty -- never.

Anyone but Obama!
Remember a vote for a democrat is a vote for Obama and illegal aliens , homosexuals and terrorist.
BornFreeTexan Wants Liberty For All
Obama wants to take away the very reason you all came to America....opportunity. So if you want to be taken under and beg for help, while he lies to you and tells you he's going to help you. If you like what's going on and want more of it and have it get even worse... vote for the marxist Owebama! Otherwise vote for Elmer Fudd....anybody but Owebama! Open your eyes people....watch the hands...not the mouth!!!!!

Well said Bornfree
Even liberals can not close there eyes to what is going on. All I can say we all have a chance to correct a poor choice that many of us made in 2008. We all had high hopes and was led to the water and found the well dry. If we choose wrongly again we may not be able to rebound at all. We are a nation of laws and when the leader cherry picks the laws he took a oath on we are all screwed. We blame the congress but the truth is senate has table every bill congress sent care of Harry Reed. Lets send a strong message to the senate and white house in 2012 that they lead poorly and should not bother to reapply.
We all had a red flag and the media buried it the hateful church Obama came from and his smooth talking speech and high hopes on our part clouded our views. Well I say not any more and the main street media will have to do much better or else who needs them.
The truth is Obama and crew does not have a clue and even if they did come up with something who would believe him.
Anyone but Obama!

When the US government doesn’t effectively carry out the laws enacted in 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act, the states of Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Utah, South Carolina have been forced into a situation of enforcing their own state border policing laws. The financial consequences of illegal migrants and immigrants have been building momentum for years and Arizona, unable to satisfy the compulsory court unfunded mandates any longer broke away and yelled to America they couldn’t find the money to support the impoverished, from the next door neighbor. The federal government’s bleak or intentional failure to construct the 2006 Secure Fence Act has caused serious deficits in these beleaguered states, which has ultimately spread without hesitation to all fifty states.
Some have stayed quiet about this terrible affliction, as California, Nevada and New Mexico. But avid analysts only have to glance at the elevated state deficits, to see the illegal immigration cash dilemma. Notably the Democrats, Liberal and ultra Republican elites will not tell the truth about the costs, as they have been corrupted by the proverbial injections of Campaign contributions. It seems like President Obama had enforced immigration laws to some extent, but even that push is waning? It started off well with near zero tolerance for anybody found to be in this nation illegally, but of late the man has instituted new measures upon the courts and ICE, to only deport incorrigible criminals; others with minimal police records have been allowed to walk.
The worst offender of this administrations payroll is the Liberal Socialist US, Attorney General Eric Holder, who has a questionable agenda in the Department of Justice. He has been brought before Congress on numerous occasions, including the ‘Fast and Furious’ controversy over weapons getting into the hands of drug cartels in Mexico. As yet this terrible issue has not been successfully resolved and ended with the death of a Border Patrol agent? The DOJ have been merciless in suing states trying to save the few recession dollars they have, for US citizens and legal residents.
North Carolina could be next as more sovereign states see the disaster indefinitely forthcoming from law Courts, forcibly demanding that taxpayers must supplement the income of illegal aliens, when the states cannot even feed, clothe and house their own low income residents? Illegal immigration is completely out of hand, with an estimated 8 million still favored by companies who have hired them, although American workers should be filling these jobs. States like California, Nevada, Colorado and New York, is just the inevitable tip of the iceberg whose principles cities as Los Angles, Denver, Las Vegas who’s Governor, Mayors and elected officials have deliberately ignored immigration enforcement and their counties designated as Sanctuary States or cities, permitting the true populace to unjustly pay for the illegal occupiers.
Prior administrations have allowed this to happen, putting no severe emphasis on removal. After all its big profits from republican donors and the boon of more votes for the Liberal progressives and Democrats, is not looked upon with disdain by the politicians. Most of them are ruefully disconnected from most Americans, and have been unconcerned with the projected number of 500.000 a year who arrive here by plane or who ignore the gross limitations of the border fence. Then another 1,000.000 that seems to be growing rate for incoming legal immigrants, who come via business approvals. I am not saying we don’t desire more highly skilled occupations, so we can compete with the global market. But companies should not be given visas for the less skilled, when job opportunities should be filled by occupational students and highly prized accomplished persons from other countries. But we must draw the line on the destitute who thinks America owes them a better quality of life. They should be arrested in any street demonstrations when demanding the same rights as citizens. It’s unfortunate that ICE is not allowed to perform its job properly on the hazardous border or in the confines of our country, to apprehend and take suspicious people into custody.
We have a good chance to resolve the inaction of multiple administrations, by applying the ‘Legal Workforce Act’ or as established as mandatory E-Verify program. This current bill, H.R. 2885 can right some massive wrongs and impose ‘Attrition through Enforcement’ guaranteeing that illegal aliens will self deport taking their families with them. You can expedite this method by stringently complaining to the Federal and State offices of Senators and the Congressional House phone switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Do not let them knowingly hold back this law as it will help relieve some of the 22 million unemployed American job seekers. This is a simple, less aggressive and relatively free from taxpayer’s expense, as nationwide employers will no longer be able to skirt this law. There will be no mitigating circumstance as many will see the inside of federal prison cell. Not only has 73 Republicans; mostly fresh Tea Party politicians, but also 3 Democrats have also co-sponsored this imperative bill as to date. Another bill sponsored by Steve King’s (R-IA) Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 (H.R.140) would amend the law so the unborn babies of illegal aliens smuggled calculatedly through borders or by international flight are ineligible for citizenship. The cost to hospitals and an array of welfare payments and entitlements is the most costly for US taxpayers totaling billions of more dollars. This is another demand, you should make of the politicians who represent your state.
The outlay to supply welfare is prohibitive and will only rise in future years. The Tea Party is already trying to fight off the spending carnival of the Obama government and another $1.3 Trillion dollars are already in the works. We are delusional if we think either party, other than the entrenched Tea Party members are going to put on the fiscal brakes. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich as already stated he would offer millions of illegal immigrants, that if they have been residing here 25 years or more a non-citizenship status. This is wrong, as millions in other lands still contemplate a visa, after waiting patiently in line. Then what about the contemptible family reunification program, which ended once again, costing taxpayers billions of dollars after the 1986 mass amnesty. New immigrants can sponsor family members financially, then renege leaving the taxpayers once again to pick up the tab on retirement and pensions. America no longer can afford the laws enacted, such as Gingrich softened agenda. The man would never uttered this plan, if he was in the true leadership of the TEA PARTY?
There is no more money, we are broke. Another amnesty as a projected analysis of the Heritage Foundation, the substantiated by NumbersUSA, American Patrol, FAIR and Judicial watch eventually would cost 2.6 Trillion dollars as of today? The Legislators are completely disconnected from the ordinary Americans trying to survive. To me, who moved away from California after being threatened for my free speech opinion about the overwhelming presence of illegal aliens? Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal county, AZ Arizona and also running for Congress, expressed today that we have 24.000 soldiers safeguarding the border between North and South Korea and yet the politicians in Washington are absent of a brain cell, when it comes to placing troops to stop the illegal invaders or the drug cells that are gaining ground inside our sovereign land. These Thursday Federal immigration officials announced the creation of a telephone hotline to make certain that detainees held by the local police are informed of their rights. These high officials I am sure influenced By Sen. Harry Reid, Minority Speaker Pelosi and other legislators in Homeland Security and ICE seem far more concerned with civil right for criminals; in millions of Americans eyes, anybody who enters America without permission—is a CRIMINAL AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS ONE AND PROSECUTED AS A FELONY?
It’s extraordinarily how citizens and lawful residents have been continuously skewered, for the benefit big business, pro-illegal alien fundamental organizations, unions, the Church and an assortment of groups of open border radicalism. Already these groups are conspiring to compromise the presidential race. Using any method they have at their disposal including—out of sight—non citizens voting and the highest density of irregularities with absentee ballots that are the simplest of application forms to forge. Democrats have been the worst offenders and have never been punished to the fullest extent of the law. The example is the ACORN groups that were not passive in allowing non-citizen voting, felons, the deceased and anybody who could make their mark. The 2012 presidential race will be a deciding factor, if Washington stays a tax and spend administration under Obama, or if we can publicize to the world that the left over Republicans led by a TEA PARTY revolutionaries as Michele Bachmann can contain the Democratic expenditures.

Behind the respectable front of the National Council of La Rama, lies the real truth and agenda of the La Raza movement. Their radical agenda is pushed by secondary groups contains the reasons behind the demonstrations and the strong lobbying efforts in our communities.
The Mexican Invasion is our biggest threat to our National security.
La Raza, Maldef, Mecha, Lulac, The Hispanic caucus, The National Hispanic Leadership, The Texas Hispanic caucus and the promoters of amnesty and immigration reform; dare to expose this danger to our national security. Their greed for political power it is more important to them, that our country.
Here are a few guidelines to help organize locally and face the coming onslaught of charges of racism.
DON’T express anger at what is happening to your community. DON’T express annoyance because illegals refuse to assimilate into your community or abide by your customs. DON’T make the issue economic and safety issues. Overcrowded housing and commercial vehicle zoning violations or that specific individuals are illegal aliens.
The pro-illegals will try to tell the public that there is uncertainty as to who is illegal, creating doubt. They will talk about how impossible it is to check everyone’s legal status. It will be easy to charge racism.
Instead, make the issues about the abrogation of law. Focus your efforts against the individuals, businesses and politicians who create this problem and cheat honest business owners and workers by allowing illegal hiring practices under the table. In short, make the issue about enforcement of the law, cost and corruption. It’s working in Virginia.
Today, we have the chance to not only stop the flood of illegal aliens, but in the process, deflate the size and power of the federal government in the process. It’s time to organize; Help Save America by throwing out the corrupt politicians and elect honest people to represent us the people. Vote for Ron Paul in 2012. Vote for America.

Fellow Americans, Obama, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitana and the organizations of traitors ( LA RAZA, MALDEF, MECHA, LULAC, THE HISPANIC CAUCUS, THE TEXAS HISPANIC CAUCUS, THE NATIONAL HISPANIC LEARDERSHIP, ACLU AND THE PROMOTERS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION), are aware of our weakness and our don't care attitude. Obama refused to enforce our immigration laws and order Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano and the US Dept. of Justice and Home land Security not to enforce the immigration laws.
What we must do to stop this invasion?. Fellow Americans, it is time to confront reality and we need to speak the truth. The truth is that This invasion of illegal aliens is a threat to our country. Before I continue I want to make clear, that I do not have a problem with people of any Nationality. This issue is not about racism or hate; it is about our laws our sovereignty and the illegal aliens and the traitors that use this issue to strive for political domination of the USA.
We must let the American people know, that the elections of 2012 will be the last chance for us, to take our country back at the voting booth, if we fail it will be by a revolution.
The following we must ask our representatives, to stop this invasion:
1- Build the fence and secure our Border. The border patrol and immigration officers should be authorize to use force if need be, and should not be discharge or put in prison for doing their job. Ours is a sovereign country and our borders must be respect by all foreigners.
2- Deport all illegal aliens and permanent residents with criminal records.
3- Cut all social service for permanents residents and illegal aliens. not immigrant should be an economic burden to the American People.
4- All illegal aliens must graduate from high school and be proficient on the use of the English language, for consideration of legal immigration process, or face deportation.
5- Educate all illegal immigrants in American History, our Constitution and loyalty to the Unite States of America. A pledge of loyalty to the United States must be require for consideration of legal immigration. We must end the indoctrination of traitors in our country.
6- Pass Legislation to review our immigration policies to control the numbers of people that will enter our country every year and from what country and their education levels. stop the family reunion clause, and pass legislation that new immigrants can not be sponsors of others to be able to come to this country.
Most Latinos are tire of the Mexicans culture of corruption, the drug traffickers, criminals, prostitutes and gangs that are taken over some communities. We are tire of La Raza and the rest of the Mexican organizations agenda, they are the promoters of socialism, they are the Marxist of tomorrow, they betray this country; the country that open his door and welcome them with the amnesty of 1986 to be part of America; these people has not loyalty they are the promoters of the invasion of illegal aliens and defenders of the criminals that are here in our country in violation of our laws. Most Latinos are in support of the enforcement of our immigration laws because they are fed up with Obama and the promoters of illegal immigration refusal to enforce our immigration laws and protect our borders from the invasion of illegal aliens and the drug traffickers, that are destroying our country's values, school system, social service and most important they are taken our jobs and are a huge financial burden.
We ask all citizens of this United States to stand for our country's enforcement of the immigration laws, not immigration reform must take place if our Borders are not secure and our laws are enforce.
How are we going to prevent the thousands of economic fugitives that are invading our country, the United States cannot afford another influx of thousands of refugees from Mexico nor other country.
You decide, continue promoting this invasion of illegal aliens, or stop the destruction of our country for ever.

Fellow Americans, the ill US Immigration policies create a great opportunity for Muslins to enter the United States illegally, their objective is to destroy the USA and they use Mexico as the gate way and free pass to enter the USA. to many of us it was not surprise, A new Islamic awakening began after the second world war, Islam was spawned by the vast discovery of oil reserves in the Arab and Islamic countries. Oil become a strong weapon to advance the global influence of the Islamic oil producing nations, with their oil, they made stronger nations, that depend of them for oil, their puppets and suddenly became political incorrect to criticize Islam or Muslims, and with this new power and money, now Muslins have the financial means to convert the world to Islam; Mexico's Islamic growing population is taken place very fast, because Mexicans Arabic influence came through the Spanish that were conquered by the Arabs. Spain was conquered in 714 A.D. by Muslims and for 800 years the invading Muslims subjugate the Hispanics to Islamic Laws in addition Spain underwent the process of Arabization. This was accomplished as the invaders systematically erase the identities of the people by abolishing their native cultures and languages replacing them with Arab culture and language Although generations of Spanish rulers have tried to expunge this era from the historical record, recent archeology now shed fresh light on the Moors who flourished in Andalucia for more than 700 years. The connection of Muslims and Mexico through their heritage is a fact, their genes and culture was inherited by the Hispanics that conquered Mexico.
Most Americans are in complete denial of this eminent danger of the destruction of America as we know it, Mexicans are changing our culture, our laws, our values and most important our language, our politicians do not represent us because they become puppets of the Mexican government and now we know for a fact that the drug cartels are working with Islamic organizations they creating new Mexican identity for Muslims to enter our country illegally.
Fellow Americans we need to wake up and demand that this corrupt government, secure our Border Build the fence and enforce our immigration laws. And most important, suspend all immigration until we correct this mad immigration policy. We need to be vigilante and take action to defend our country.

The article mentions the approval vs dislike of Latinos in general. Are these all Citizens or Legal Resident Aliens or just generic Hispanics of mixed status? If this includes Illegal Aliens then it does not mean much as their opinion counts for nothing as far as the electorate goes. The Obama admin is playing both sides , using the total numbers to prove they are tough on illegal immigration, while at the same time reassuring the Hispanic Advocacy Groups that these numbers also include all apprehensions at the border and the Illegals ' Turned back South." They continue to down play the recent directives of Homeland Security and ICE relating to prosecutorial discretion , when addressing voters who want enforcement , and point to the fact that these directives encompass anyone in the country Illegally who has not committed a major crime when courting the Hispanic vote. This is a two faced attempt to gain voter support from both sides.
The really amazing fact is that depending on the day 45% to half the country still supports Obama in general and would vote for him again. The liberal agenda is to grant amnesty and if given a choice , they would reject deportation of all Illegal Aliens who had not robbed a bank or actually killed anyone , Yet. As with the poll cited , they also attempt to paint Anti-Illegal Immigration forces as just simply being Anti- Immigrant in general. They are the ones who resist the usage of terms like Illegal Alien , Illegal Immigrant and generally lump all Immigrants into the same group no matter how they got here or what their status is. Undocumented Workers are not Immigrants. They are squatters Illegally residing and working in a country they have no legal right to be in to begin with. True immigrants obtain proper paperwork and documentation and have the express intent to immigrate permanently and integrate into society in general. Illegals on the other hand are only temporary or itinerant residents with no real desire to change their allegiance to country or nationality. They are simply opportunists living for the moment.
Immigrants and Illegal Aliens are two distinct and separate groups , each with their own agendas. There are many Legal Immigrants and Resident Aliens that resent the fact they are seen as supporting or endorsing illegal immigration based on the fact they are immigrants themselves. They are the ones who understand best that Immigrants and Illegal Aliens have nothing in common , except for they fact they all originated from outside this country. Beyond that one common trait they have very little in common with one another.
Janet Thomas via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Ivan, don't bet that comprehensive immigration reform (amnesty) would be the law if McCain won in '08. Bush tried to push the same thing in '07 and failed because millions of outraged Americans called their elected representives and it was defeated.
Liz Theiss via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Not enforcing the law and installing separatism based on mirth among the races instead of equal application under the law is as DRACONIAN and THIRD WORLD as it gets...Illegal aliens need to return to their native countries and fix them.Americans took on the biggest military power in the world via the Revolution to create a just and free government. Illegals can do the same in their own countries.
