Those 30 million new “amnesty” voters are BO’s “ace in the hole” for 2012.

Obama came into office with a list of things he wanted to accomplish (Soros inspired?), and “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead”, he will push his agenda regardless the consequences. IMHO

He has to talk up the economy first, he needs unemployment to go down first.

We HAVE to stop amnesty. If we get to 2010 then hopefully the Blue Dog Dems will start to get cold feet. I hope unemployed Americans will be screaming against any amnesty.

I think Zero will face his first real opposition from liberals over amnesty. They were mostly with us the last time around and things have gotten considerably worse since then.

We can only pray that he tries this at the wrong time. He is trying to create a majority forever voting base. But crys of “We need them to do the jobs...” doesnt fly when you lose your job.

The real reason behind this: millions more voters for the socialist party.

Obama does not care about us. He cares about is buying the next election.

Yep last time the economy was better and 80 some percent were against amnesty I just can’t see with soaring unemployment all of a sudden it being a good idea.

If all illegal aliens were deported unemployment would be reduced and the economy would get a positive bounce. I believe that statement could be proved by unbiased economists.

All true. But the Dems couldn't care less about actually representing anyone. Their liberal agenda is all that matters.

One hopes the electorate isn't suffering from "outrage fatigue," on the amnesty issue.
