This week, as a guest on a Spanish language radio show, President Obama stated his continued support for giving amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants, which would force Americans looking for a job to compete with amnestied aliens for work. (El Piolin Interview, February 18, 2009 and CBS4—South Florida). During the radio interview, President Obama said: “We’re going to start by really trying to work on how to improve the current [immigration] system so that people who want to be naturalized, who want to become citizens . . . are able to do it; that it’s cheaper, that it’s faster, that they have an easier time in terms of sponsoring family members.” Following that, President Obama acknowledged what legal American workers already know intuitively—that amnesty is not in their best interest—but then endorsed amnesty anyway. President Obama said: “And then we’ve got to have comprehensive immigration reform. . . . Politically it’s going to be tough. It’s probably tougher now than it was, partly because of the fact that the economy has gotten worse.” (El Piolin). According to the U.S. Department of Labor, over 11.6 million Americans are currently unemployed and the number of unemployed Americans has increased by 4.1 million over the past year. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2009). Millions more have simply stopped looking for work. Just last month, 598,000 Americans lost their jobs. Particularly troubling among the unemployment data is the fact that certain minorities such as African-Americans are experiencing greater unemployment (12.6 percent) than the nation as a whole. President Obama also said his staff was working on amnesty already, stating: “we’ve got some wonderful people on my White House staff who are working on this issue on an ongoing basis.” Earlier this week, open-borders advocates suggested that they expect that Congress will debate amnesty legislation in the fall of 2009. (NDN, February 20, 2009). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s director of Hispanic media has confirmed the likely timing for debate as well. (O Jornal, January 30, 2009).

Here's your f**king Amnesty and North American Union ya lying world socialist cs'ing Traitor.
King of the threats and whines, how goes it. I am always interested in mature debate that is lively and respectful with agreement not being requisite. Actually, I find your badgering and flaming trying to get everyone on this forum to be of your mindset to be socialistic. With is quite ironic considering what you say when you flic your litle Bic. Take care, and let me know if you ever really want to debate or discuss anything in earnest. You know, do the sort of activity that makes a real forum.
Why? So, you can go run and hide again? Every time I have engaged you in a serious debate and you were in serious danger of having to provide a rational response you have taken a powder. The reality is that you are not interested in rational thought or anything which challenges you to examine what you "think" and "emote". The reality is that you have no interest in debate, or even rational thought. You have a a laundry list of cliches, snippets, and regurgitated dogma which you have absorbed from the various mind control programs which you regard as authoritative. Now go back and listen some more to Demokrassee Never, The Pacified Nutwork, etc., ...
Probably true to some extent in this forum. In a less hate driven forum. I don't really feel to into racism and pointless scapegoating and hatreds. I'll do a you to me/me to you search and see what sort of take I get on it after the fact. And if I see your criticism has a basis, I'll comment on it.

Well, you know Indie, all I ever got from arguing in some topic was really bad and pointless insults and character assassination. Point of order; when I would argue against homophobia, the first reaction was to aggressively and persistently try to say that I prefer males sexually over women. And when people prove to be so intellectually and dishonest in the realm of those topics in a particular forum, I am not obliged to try to fix something too badly broken for me to have much effect on. I also find many racist threads to be tasteless and so factually in error one needs to worry that one looks like an idiot as they are arguing with real idiots. I avoid stuff to that too closely resembles Storm Front fare as well, and I know when it does because one of the reasons I scan that joint is to see what gets exported from there and where this is done. I am not hardly going to give that stuff a BTTT boost. Spamming is an interesting way to label not posting because you see no point to it. Spamming is posting stuff just to post it, or to try to disrupt. I don't do this, but hey, if I was not clear about any of these points of order in that post you quote from, you can either get clarification, or use your kill file function. IT is solely up to you here to do whichever choice you wish to make. Cheers.
Me too ... thanks for making this easy.

or even discussing things with you?

Good riddance.
