White House to change illegal immigrant policy

  1. "Many of these young people have already contributed to our country in significant ways," Napolitano wrote in a memorandum describing the administration's action. "Prosecutorial discretion, which is used in so many other areas, is especially justified here."

    So let me see if I understand this line of thinking. So long as I do good things after I break the law, the law I broke no longer applies. Nice!

    But is this because illegals are at an all time high?

    Or do you have something that shows the percentage of deportations to the number of illegals is at all-time highs?

    My understanding is that they are not, thanks to the economy.

  5. Using that line of thinking we could say that illegal immigration is a counter attack being launched by Mexico against the United States. Using this logic I would say it's perfectly OK to shoot illegals as they cross the border for now they are enemy combatants.:p

  6. You are one smart devil, CO. Because as you well know, many use this precise logic.:D

    The Mexicans even have a name for it. La Raza. They are explicitly out to take back what was stolen, no?

    Pretty much what I had thought. Also, from what I remember reading, illegals are actually going home now and not coming to the states. If that is the case, I would like to see this "deportation" statistic that is supposedly at all-time highs. Does it include illegals leaving because of the bad economy? I'm going to guess it does.

    Obama doesn't have anything to do with it, unless you are assigning the economic factors being so poor as a solution to immigration!

    No, the data is from USCBP on the deportations they are conducting. So that would not include "self deportations".

  10. Who are they to be complaining. The Conquistadores stole it from the indians in mexico and the US. We took it from them. Screw them and their La Raza.
