It’s hard to be compassionate and condescending at the same time. But that’s how President Obama comes across whenever he jaws about the plight of illegals in America. The very term “undocumented worker” tends to suggest a justification for having broken the law.
We know little about the 11 million or so illegal aliens in our midst. We’re not even certain if their count is accurate, since the current modus operandi in dealing with issues in this non-transparent administration is to stretch or shrink the truth depending on political expediency. This is evident in the nebulous statistics relating to those who signed on to Obamacare. Very little hard data about ACA participation is made public, except for the 900,000 or so enrollees who were never actually covered because of failure to pay premiums. If there were ever proof of the old adage “figures don’t lie, but liars figure,” it is the Obama administration’s manipulative misrepresentations meted out as facts.
So we cannot be sure of the actual numbers of people illegally residing in the United States, or much else about them, either. They are portrayed as furtively living “in the shadows” of our society, which gives the impression that they are fearfully toiling away under the radar. But if this is the case, how is our government able to find and identify them, much less presume to count them with any degree of accuracy?
But wait! It seems that many of these folks may have magically moved out of the shadows and are living among us in full view. In a recent speech, Obama represented them not as fugitives keeping a low profile, but as ordinary people like you and me, occupying houses in our neighborhoods and pews in our churches.

0bama is single handedly doing more harm to black Americans in his eight years than the entire 50 years of LBJ's Great Society has. And the race pimps are gleefully helping him do it with enthusiastic participation from every ghetto thug and wannabe banger in the country. The black community will be toast when 0bungles is done.
Too many white working class getting wise to them too. The only whites who support the Democrats are the queers and urban elites who want to be in control of everything.
When the Blacks become the majority of the Democrat party, they will have a mutiny and get rid of their elite white leaders.
The economically dependent are about to start competing with mass numbers of imported economically dependent for ever diminishing resources. In a manner similar to many other obamian proclamations, “spread the wealth” really meant “spread the poverty.”
Obama, in his never-ending quest for degrading race relations in this country, has relegated Blacks to the back of the bus.
But then, if he is of Kenyan descent, the Muslim B Hussein's ancestors likely sold their ancestors, anyway.
Blacks have been shafted worse under the current regime than anytime in memory.
(economically, jobs, and how he’s stirring up all sorts of racial hatreds too ...)
AND he’s trying to bring another 20 or 30 million foreigners into USA (guess whose jobs are most at risk? yup, you got it...)
I do believe that the 11 million number was somehow derived from the 2000 census, and even then, it was suspiciously low.
A pre-meditated neo-marxist mandate is bad for all Americans.
It isn’t just Obamacare as an impact. It will affect the pool of money for SNAP (it isn’t limitless even though it seems), it will affect UIC rates for employers and what gets handed down to employees, it will cause longer wait times for most any government entitlement, etc.
The government hires 1000 new agents to deal with millions of new untouched illegals. They won’t be brokering jobs for them. They’ll hit every entitlement program in existence. Count on it.
I don’t believe that number even for a New York minute. My guess is 30-50 million.
” and even then, it was suspiciously low.”
Vincente Fox admitted to 18 million in 2000. The last California census showed just shy of 11,000,000. That is just in California, years ago.
A couple of years ago there was an article that quoted Border Patrol agents estimate of 40 million illegal alien invaders.
Bump for later.
“In the shadows” sort of means they keep their heads down and don’t get into trouble so they won’t be deported, it doesn’t mean they’re invisible in everyday life. In a “sanctuary” city, you can’t tell the difference. They also do a lot of things “off the books,” not only money but other things as well.
Black Americans should not STILL be in such a position of vulnerability as a group. If Black Americans want to do something PRODUCTIVE then Black Americans OUGHT to start wondering why they STILL are the ones so vulnerable.
I’m in Florida , the lazy domestic blacks here on welfare have been pushed out of the job market for decades by hardworking Haitians and other Caribbean blacks ... making the Mexicans that are already here and outnumber them legal workers puts the final nail in their coffin.
When ya snooze ya lose!
