    But they're NOT enforcing the laws.

    How does protecting this nation from a flood of illegal peasants violate US citizens rights?

  2. I think he has lost some white male support which is why he is trying to get more female votes this time around



    Heres a breakdown of 2008

    Barack Obama, who will be the nation’s first African-American president, won the largest share of white support of any Democrat in a two-man race since 1976 amid a backdrop of economic anxiety unseen in at least a quarter-century, according to exit polls by The Associated Press and the major television networks.

    Obama became the first Democrat to also win a majority since Jimmy Carter with the near-unanimous backing of blacks and the overwhelming support of youth as well as significant inroads with white men and strong support among Hispanics and educated voters.

    The Illinois senator won 43 percent of white voters, 4 percentage points below Carter’s performance in 1976 and equal to what Bill Clinton won in the three-man race of 1996. Republican John McCain won 55 percent of the white vote.

    Fully 96 percent of black voters supported Obama and constituted 13 percent of the electorate, a 2-percentage-point rise in their national turnout. As in past years, black women turned out at a higher rate than black men.

    A stunning 54 percent of young white voters supported Obama, compared with 44 percent who went for McCain, the senator from Arizona. In the past three decades, no Democratic presidential nominee has won more than 45 percent of young whites.

    It also appears youth turnout rose 1 point since 2004, to constitute 18 percent of the electorate.

    McCain won a majority of every other age of white voters, which appeared to limit Obama’s reach into many traditionally Republican states.

    Obama performed slightly worse with white women, 39 percent of voters, than Al Gore did in 2000. McCain won the votes of white women, 53 to 46 percent, perhaps an indication of the historical candidacy of his running mate, Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska.

    Obama compensated for the drop-off in white female support with the strong 41 percent support from white men. No Democrat since Carter had until Tuesday’s election earned more than 38 percent of the white male vote.

    In 2000, white women split between the two parties while Republicans won white men by 24 percentage points. That white male gap was dramatically narrowed Tuesday to 16 points, a trend that began with the financial crisis, and one that allowed Obama to split the male vote overall.

    McCain won only 57 percent of the votes of white men, who were again 36 percent of the electorate.

    White college graduates, 35 percent of voters, broke for McCain 51 to 47 percent, marking roughly a 3-point gain for Obama compared to Gore’s 44 percent showing.

    Obama performed at a similar level as Gore with working-class whites, earning 40 percent of their support to McCain’s 59 percent, which is roughly similar to George W. Bush’s performance in 2000 and 2004.

    Obama’s victory also stretched into other key blocs won by Bush four years ago. Suburban voters, who were half of the electorate, split between Obama and McCain. Rural voters, who went for Bush by 19 points in 2004, leaned to McCain by 8 points. And married voters, who went to Bush by 15 points, leaned to McCain by 6 this year.

    Obama Administration Sets Deportation Record


    WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration set a new record for deportations, removing nearly 400,000 undocumented immigrants in the last fiscal year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced on Tuesday.

    The agency removed 396,906 undocumented immigrants from the United States in the 2011 fiscal year, a slight increase from the previous year's 392,826 removals. Administration officials said the increase is the result of a continued focus on policing undocumented immigration, a rebuttal to claims by GOP presidential candidates and others who say the president has been too soft on unauthorized immigration.


    Former President George W. Bush deported about 30,000 fewer undocumented immigrants -- 369,221 -- in his final year in office.

    You have a mighty selective memory. Yes, we always get pro-illegal alien presidents. But the only thing that stopped the Bush amnesty was the fact that the great majority of Republican congressmen voted against it. Favoring "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" (the current euphemism for amnesty) is almost a requirement for Democratic congressmen today.

    BTW, Bush was a liberal on domestic policy, something the liberals hate to admit. Here are three big issues where there was complete agreement between Bush and Ted Kennedy:

    Illegal alien amnesty
    Medicare D prescription drug program
    No Child Left Behind

    When that's what we get from the "conservative" party it shows what a joke conservatism has become.

    BTW, Reagan later said that his acceptance of the illegal amnesty was the greatest mistake of his political career. I guess he realized too late that the result was to lock in a Democratic majority in California, which of course was the Democrats' intention.

    Finally, whenever a Republican makes noises about actually enforcing immigration law (as Romney has done lately) the press always warns about how this is going to lose him the Hispanic vote. I guess the press agrees with me that favoring breaking immigration law is the key to getting the Hispanic vote.
