Obama on Illegal Aliens to Illegal Alien: We Don’t Want to Deport Them; 'We Want Them To Succeed’ Monday, March 28, 2011 By Edwin Mora

(CNSNews.com) -- When questioned by an illegal alien student today who showed him a deportation letter, President Barack Obama said he did not want to deport illegal alien students like the one who questioned him, he wanted them to succeed.

The exchange came during a town hall event sponsored by the Spanish-language television network Univision at a Washington, D.C., school. An illegal alien student, who appeared via Skype, asked: “My question for the president is, why [is the government] saying that deportations have stopped or the detention of many students like me, why is it that we are still receiving deportation letters like this one?”

Obama answered, “We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community.

“And for a young person like that young woman that we just spoke to who’s going to school, doing all the right things, we want them to succeed," Obama said.

Obama on Illegal Aliens to Illegal Alien: We Don’t Want to Deport Them; 'We Want Them To Succeed’
 
By Obama's definition that would be succeeding in destroying America. Obama is evidently in  agreement with the dangerous activity of colonization by foreign peoples who harbor solid intent to maintain their own culture and don't seek to actively integrate, an activity which has historically diluted and brought about the downfall of nations.

I'm an American citizen, born and raised; a Vietnam vet; and I'm a productive member of society, pay my taxes, and play by the rules, and have my entire life.

So, I want to know what laws I can break, and crimes I can commit, that by breaking or committing I'll not only NOT be punished, but will be rewarded for breaking and committing, as well.

Well, ObaMao, which ones? I'm waiting.

Sad part is that too many GOP agree with Obama and the Hispanic KKK groups on this nonsense

All illegal aliens will be deported...anything less is Illegal Alien Amnesty. Illegal Alien Amnesty is Anti-American Bigotry

This student is question can go “succeed” in the country he left. Allowing him to stay takes away an opportunity from a hard-working American student

“doing all the right things,we want them to succeed” Breaking the law is doing the right thing? At that they certainly are succeeding. - Succeeding YES with our tax dollars.

Just like the government union members, they demand we furnish them all with the perks they "deserve" even if we can't afford the same for ourselves....and elected officials acquiesces to grant them their demands, in exchange for votes!!

Time to shut this cr@# down!

In their country, sure...I’d love for them to succeed there. The birth rate is going down everywhere, so soon this may not be a problem, but unfortunately we might end-up a leftists den of dumb politics soon, though.

I want them to succeed in their quest to become citizens of the United States, renouncing all other allegiances and foreign potentates.

If they don’t want that, then I want them to succeed in their homeland, and get the eff out of mine.

Thanks Sub-Driver.

Somehow we’ve gotten to a point where sneaking into this Country is illegal (like speeding) but not criminal (like speeding doesn’t make you a criminal). That needs to change. It won’t change with a traitor pResident willing to exploit the situation for his own well-being - Even if the results, overall, weaken our Country.

From what I’ve seen - voting isn’t going to settle this.

They are ALL criminals and need to be treated as such.

Let Sheriff Joe Arpaio build a very, very large prison in the Arizona desert and let each and every one of them spend 12 months in that prison PRIOR to deportation at the barrel of a gun.

Those who resist should be shot. Dead.

Illegal Immigration problem solved.

Who are the big losers from illegals? UNIONS. AVERAGE WORKING JOES. In other words, DEMOCRATS.

You are woefully misinformed.

First of all if this were true the unions would be screaming bloody murder about it and they are not. The existing union guys don't care because they have their teat.

The illegals actually benefit the unions the DO participate in like SEIU and the other service unions.

Second, the unions are raking in union dues off of the illegals and that's all that matters to them.

Third, the socialists want chaos and discord and they know one of the quickest ways to get it is to "legitimize" illegals.

They are quite happy to see the trouble being caused as it furthers their cause.
