Obama: Don’t Make It ‘Harder for the Best and the Brightest to Come Here’
Breitbart's Big Government / The Associated Press ^ | July 4, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 07/04/2014 1:16:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Celebrating the ethnic diversity of America, President Barack Obama said more than two dozen foreign-born service members who became U.S. citizens at a White House ceremony on the Fourth of July are vivid reminders that the country is, and always has been, a nation of immigrants.

He said the vast range of backgrounds and experiences that made America a melting pot for more than 200 years also makes it stronger, but that the immigration system has to be retooled for the U.S. to keep its place as the greatest nation on earth.

"If we want to keep attracting the best and the brightest from beyond our shores, we're going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken," Obama said...

“The anti-colonial man has declared economic sanctions against traditional American citizens for years now.
He couldn’t make it any more obvious. Yet 1/2 of the country is blindingly-stupid.”

Spot on. That, without even the slightest question is his agenda. Many things made/make us vulnerable to those like him and Jarrett. Two of the most prominent factors are our open society, and our general goodwill as a country. At least 30-40% of those who support him do so because their ‘hearts’ tell them too. He and his kind are the ultimate in cynical manipulators, preying on goodwill to advance a vindictive agenda.

None of the chicken GOP-elites/establishment types or the hate-America Democrats in the House and Senate know whether to spit or go blind as this alien invasion continues unabated.

They're all worried to death about the Latino and/or the always-emotional "moderate" vote in the upcoming election....and about being against "the innocent chilluns"......and they're totally freaked out about getting elected or re-elected....and this is numero uno in their lives right now....and they're all paralyzed into inaction....so they're doing nada.

Our doughty little band of conservative guys and dolls just DOES NOT have the votes and the power to do a damn thing....except speechify....and they're not doing enough of that to my liking, either.

Color me glum.

Giving AMNESTY to the 30 MILLION illegal aliens already ensconced in the country and allowing these new ones to stay is not going to make it “easier” for real immigrants to come but will make them have to wait in line behind all these criminals ever longer...

Meanwhile I happened to watch a Fox video of Alan Holmes’ radio show this morning..

He had Patrice the nurse from Murrieta and “Enrique” of the so called “border angels” on the phone..

Patrice was making lots of sense but Enrique was all over the map ..

He said the reason the illegal aliens came here and were refugees was because they couldn’t go to the American Embassy in Guatemala, but he never gave any reason why not and unfortunately nobody asked him why not..

the main concern that both he and Alan had was that the illegal aliens not be called illegal aliens..

and that the local Murrieta citizens had yelled racial slurs (though they were not explained) and had yelled at the little children and traumatized them (it was never explained that those children stayed on the closed bus the whole time and were not available for any American citizen to say anything to individually...

anyhoo, let’s look at the going to the US Embassy scenario...

It appears we have 10s of 1,000s of “refugees” on our southern border begging to get in and be saved from phantom boogymen but not one of them bothered to go to the police or the US Embassy to claim asylum here..

If they did and were turned down wheres their documents proving that ???

If they did and were sent here don’t you think that the parents would have used the $8,000 plus got on a plane with their child and flown here instead of sending their child through Mexico ???

If they are refugees wheres the international outcry that the US refused to allow sanctuary to 65,000 “children” ???

Why has the UN not denounced us ???

Well you see Enrique was just throwing out useful talking points and they have more lots more...

and our American citizens need to refute every one of the lies and half lies..

so what if we get shouted down..

the truth only needs to be on tape once or twice to be useful..

I liked Patrice the nurse from Murrieta shes cool under fire and didn’t get off subject too much..

Unfortunately she missed the chance to ask Enrique to explain what he meant when he mentioned the US Embassy..but then he never intended to be challenged on that at all..

Obama doesn’t want to make it “easier” for IMMIGRANTS to come here...

if he did he wouldn’t clog the system with all those illegal aliens...

As a REAL immigrant who jumped through every hoop, all those illegal aliens being mollycoddled is a slap in the face to me...

Yes, give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Just be sure they come here legally, like my grandparents did, when they got off the boat at Ellis Island.

allow a fair number of brilliant white Europeans to come to the US? —

It will get to the point that the ‘brilliant’ will not want to come to the US. We may be there. Some want to leave now, but their assets are held hostage.

Kind of like a management position that was offered at work, with no salary increase. I told the boss that he did not want anyone who applied under those conditions.

Best and brightest?
You delusional ignorant moron!
That's what legal Immigration has been doing for 100 years! L-E-G-A-L!!!

Since you arrived on the scene, the functional national IQ has dropped about 30 points!

What could you possibly know about the "best and brightest"?
Perhaps learned from all the multitude of muslim Science Nobel Award winners?

Ah yes the best and brightest, only problem mr. mulato is that what we get for the most part is the lowest and least educated, otherwise they would not be leaving their countries to devolve ours into the third world Sheiss loch they left.

Agreed.

And Emma Lazarus poem was never meant to be official US immigration policy. It was a POEM by a pampered Greenwich Village blueblood.
