Obama: ‘This is going to be a browner country’
Yahoo! News ^ | 12/19 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 12/20/2016 7:25:38 AM PST by ErikJohnsky

Regardless of what President-elect Donald Trump’s plans are for immigration, President Barack Obama says there will be “inevitable” changes to the demographics of the United States.

“If you stopped all immigration today, just by virtue of birth rates, this is going to be a browner country,” Obama told NPR’s Steve Inskeep in an interview that aired Monday. “And if we’re not thinking right now about how we make sure that next generation is getting a good education and are instilled with a common creed and the values that make America so special and are cared for and nurtured and loved the way every American child is treated, then we’re not going to be as successful.”

Obama said it’s natural for the nation to have “some growing pains” because of the substantial changes to the world during his eight years in office:

I started my presidency inheriting a massive crisis of proportions that we haven’t seen since the 1930s. It laid bare some long-term and troubling trends about globalization, and technology, and rising inequality, and the fragility of our financial systems, and the way in which middle-class folks felt they were getting squeezed. And the fact that the ladders of opportunity seem to be farther and fewer between for people who are trying to get out of poverty.

And throughout that process, we also then started seeing — because when the economy’s not doing well some other tensions get laid bare — changing attitudes about sexual orientation, and about race, and about the nature of families. And all of this has been amped up by the revolution in information, throwing through social media and the Internet. And so it’s a big dose. It’s been a lot of stuff that’s been coming at people really quickly, and it’s made folks anxious.

I cannot wait until this racist gets the heck out of our nation's great Capitol. I'm tired of this race politics the DemocRAT Party plays all the time since they have no real platform.

We are a browner country because of mass immigration. We have brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990, 87% of whom are minorities as classified by the USG. Immigrants and their children drive 80% of our population growth.

I have no problem with the shades of brown exhibited by many of our citizens. I do have a problem with the BEHAVIOR of too many of them. And the non-citizens who came here the right way are not a problem either, unless they overstayed without permission. Again, BEHAVIOR.

Increase immigration from Europe. Plenty still want to come. Decrease from third world.

Reverse Dead Ted’s immigration reform from 50 years ago.

Why not? We have the power now.

Says the guy who had the opportunity, as POTUS, to do something to stop inner city killings (including in the neighborhood he started his community organizing in) but did nothing.

Whites did

Likewise....”the changing nature of the family.....”

Like traditional families are less relevant or model yet that’s how he and Michelle raise kids

Two parents and best schools etc

Wait! Title should read:

“This is going to be a browner, hoodie wearing, thug-ruling, ignorant, drug & crime ridden, lawless country...”

That is what Obama was trying to establish, now his and Clinton's dream of a third world nation are dashed.

NPR should be shut down. Why should the American taxpayer be forced to fund this leftist crap?? Obama will be taking his “brown shirts” elsewhere.

No Obama, this is going to be a FREE country. Your leaving will be a big step in that direction. It can’t be too soon. We’re tired of your steady stream of curses on America and tired of you.

Your almost total ignorance of what you talk about - including even basic economics and history which shows that YOUR big government policies is what creates poverty and “borrowing” - doesn’t stop you from making these uninformed and wild declarations. Go back to your cursing Rev Wright and leave America to those of us who love limited government, freedom, and the free market which creates wealth and will once again make America rich and great again.

Start with European families with money and 3 kids. Green cards. Europe is lost and they can start with management jobs the welfare class will now take now that the illegals will be gone and welfare eliminated. Problem solved.
