Latinos and immigration activists are warning of political peril for President Barack Obama and Democrats in the fall election unless the president acts boldly and soon to curb deportations and allow more immigrants to remain legally in the U.S.

Many activists say Obama has been slow to grasp the emotions building within the Latino community as deportations near the 2 million mark for his administration and hopes for immigration legislation fade. With House Republicans unlikely to act on an overhaul, executive action by Obama is increasingly the activists’ only hope.

“There is tremendous anger among core constituencies of the president and the Latino and Asian communities in particular,” said Deepak Bhargava, executive director of the Center for Community Change, which champions immigration change. “He has a momentous choice to make.” …

Mr. Obama requires no urging to ignore the laws of the United States of America. He is ready, willing and able to do whatever it takes to weaken this country by opposing the rule of law.

Thanks Olog-hai.

By "executive action" is meant "acting illegally" and "selectively enforcing the law"; and by "activists" is meant "radicals" and "illegals".

they aren’t effing immigrants. they are parasites. they want to take jobs here, not pay taxes, not pay for education or welfare, they want to take whatever money they can earn and ship it back to family in “the home country” mexico and that’s all they want to do.

Some want to stay indefinitely and vote and take the southwest over into their Aztlan nation.

Arrest all Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico at the US/Mexican Border, and hold them in desert prisons for 6 months, as specified by CURRENT US Border Laws.

The only Border Reform that needs to be done is to force our politicians in “both” political parties to demand that all existing Border Laws be strictly enforced.

And 0bama will make his choice in much the same way as Hugo Chavez and his other Banana Republic soul mates.

This steaming pile of crap gets cooked up every election cycle, and the leftist media dishes it out. Hispanics who support Obama and his ilk might as well move back across the border, because they are helping to destroy this country, making its future no better than what they could have in their homelands.

How will bringing in tens of millions of 3rd world people, then raising their standards of livings to ours- reduce global warming?

That runs 180 degress contrary to their stated beliefs that the American way of life is killing Mother Gia.
