Obama announces immigration overhaul shielding 4 million from deportation

30. Some downthread call them the enemy who should be deported. Zero sum logic per Rush.

When Reagan granted a no strings attached amnesty, the real thing, our union opposed it. Then decided the best way to go was to organize them into unions until they were on parity with all other workers.

Some here don't mind the hypocrisy of leaving a lot of people in danger of being deported if they complain of bad working conditions or low wages. Or have notions that 11 million people will disappear with the drop of pen stroke.

They remind me of the 'Ship 'em back to Africa' crowd of the fifties and sixties. It just rubs me the wrong way.

Obama called the GOP out on their hypocrisy that the whole world sees and most of us know exists. He did the right thing, and that's what matters. Sad to see some not being able to handle this.
