In this photo released by NBC, former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell, retired, speaks on NBC's "Meet the Press" in Washington Sunday, Sept. 19, 2010. Powell, a moderate Republican who endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, says the president's critics should be going after him on policy, not "nonsense." Powell said Sunday that "fringe" elements on the right are taking a low road when they label Obama a foreign-born Muslim and peddle other theories about non-American influences on the president's character. (AP Photo/NBC, William B. Plowman) WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says illegal immigrants do essential work in the U.S. and he has firsthand knowledge of that - because they fix his house. Powell, a moderate Republican, urged his party Sunday to support immigration generally because it is "what's keeping this country's lifeblood moving forward." In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," he said a path to legal status should be offered to illegal immigrants because they "are doing things we need done in this country." He added: "They're all over my house, doing things whenever I call for repairs, and I'm sure you've seen them at your house. We've got to find a way to bring these people out of the darkness and give them some kind of status." Powell did not say whether he's hired illegal immigrants directly or they showed up with contractors. Powell was President George W. Bush's first-term secretary of state and the nation's top military officer in the presidency of Bush's father and in the early months of the Clinton administration. Despite his Republican standing - he was once considered a formidable prospect for the GOP presidential or vice presidential nominations but stayed out of contention - he endorsed Democrat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election. In lamenting the party's rightward drift Sunday, he said Republicans must not become anti-immigration and spoke in support of legislation that would give certain children of illegal immigrants a way to become citizens if they pursue a college education or military service. Immigration, he said, offers the U.S. a chance to maintain a youthful population in contrast with the aging of Europe and Japan. Powell also said "fringe" elements on the right are taking a low road when they label Obama a foreign-born Muslim and peddle other false theories about non-American influences on the president's character. Obama was born in the U.S. and is Christian. "Let's attack him on policy, not nonsense," he said. And he said the tea party may not become an enduring force unless it moves beyond slogans and promotes an agenda that people "can see, touch and actually believe in." It's not enough, he said, to call for goals that most Americans support, such as controlled federal spending and adherence to the Constitution. The former secretary of state said he still sees Obama as a transformational figure, if one who has lost some of his ability to connect with people. Powell said he's not giving up on the GOP, even in the face of a rightward drift, and says it might actually help Obama if Republicans win the House in November and gain responsibility for driving policy, not just opposing Democrats.

The Gingrich House is what gave Clinton his second term.
Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is laughing and saying, "Finally! I won't be the worst President ever!"
2. Powell also said "fringe" elements on the right are taking a low road when they label Obama a foreign-born Muslim and peddle other false theories about non-American influences on the president's character. Obama was born in the U.S. and is Christian. 1. They have "some kind of status," Powell you dumb cs. It is called CRIMINAL! 2. Further proof that Powell is a treacherous, lowlife, establishment puppet. Obama is not an American, was not born in the US and is most definitely not a Christian. No Christian would spend ten minutes in that so-called "church" that he claimed he attended for 20 years. And it is more than passing strange that in all that time he never heard his "minister" make any disparaging remarks about whitey or the country. Strange indeed.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Powell doesn't want blacks doing the work either.

Cliff notes: Powell admits that he is an accessory to the criminal invasion of illegal aliens by knowingly employing them at his home. Powell promotes foreign labor over Americans because he doesn't think there are enough unemployed Americans who could be put to work doing things we need done in this country. Powell promotes more immigration to keep America youthful because that sounds more "PC" than denouncing Abortion. Powell has no regard for Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution and believes the natural born citizen requirement for the Presidency should be a faith based issue. Powell is a left-leaning RINO (Republican in Name Only). ___ There was a time, before his UN presentation on Iraq, that I thought he would be a good choice for President but no more -- not for America, anyway. President of Mexico, maybe.

I think that people who hire illegal immigrants should be thought of in a similar way to slave-owners in pre-1865 days. They're avoiding giving jobs to people with full legal status to for the sake of money. I equate this to the morality of a slave-owner.

it might actually help Obama if Republicans win the House in November
