#1 He should personally know.

#2 There is a difference between those that want to come here to become Americans and to make a better life and those that just want to suck off the tit of the well to do without assimilating.

The US is made up of the former, not the latter.

But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you Obama. Overprivlaged prick who never worked a hard day in his spoiled life.

#3 Yet another crisis of his making. No good can come from permitting these children to simply disappear into our country. Any successful immigration effort [new or old] must have as it's foundation, a secure border. Champ is doing precisely the opposite. In spite of his rhetoric, his goal is the destruction of America.

#4 And the natives usually objected---frequently violently. Being less organized than the invaders, they lost---and nowadays are marginalized and reduced to semi-extinction.

#5 Its was also a nation of slavery. We reached a social and economic point of development that made it intolerable and resolved by much blood. Shall, we go back to legalized slavery simply because it once was?

The need of immigration was the development of vast open lands with vast resources and small population. Now we have the bureaucracy harping everyday how we are a burden on the environment and a chatter class of self important nabobs that tell the rest of us will have to do with less.

We have millions of native born who have only basic skills languishing in unemployment. You do not add more to that number while burdening the rest with your redistributionist poison. You are not practicing charity, you are practicing theft.

#6 Slavery is never a good thing. No man should enslave another. If the Constitution were adhered to in a strict sense, such things as slavery never would have been a problem. The modern day version of slavery is that imposed upon its citizens by the Federal government. This form of slavery has been imposed via increased taxes or dictates by a burgeoning bureaucracy that "interprets laws" to their liking, for example, EPA, IRS, the newly minted ACA, BLM, ICE, ATF, and the rest of the alphabet soup of agencies. This growing bureaucracy has resulted in a growing corruption and a weaponization of the Federal government against its people. That has not worked out well for the country.

#7 In the old republic, the state existed to serve the people. In the new oligarchy, the people exist to serve the state and those who run it.

#8 2K what are your thoughts on what seems to be an old reoccurring problem in this country. Those with a better knowledge of American history could address an interesting bit of history I was really not aware of. We had radicals and conservatives from the very beginning. The radicals doing very much the same things as now. In Philadelphia they wanted to redistribute wealth. The conservatives won the day but it is amazing to see the similarities. The conservative Democrat and now conservative Republican are losing their parties hence the rise of Tea party people. Radicals have hijacked both parties. The cancer within.

#9 The immigrants of today do not wish to assimilate. They flock to DC to secure power for themselves as they have seen the black Americans do. No longer a melting pot. This is now a house divided.

#10 PC term is "salad bowl" to replace 'melting pot'. The latter worked, the former has not - and will not. Sectarianism = 'salad bowl'.

'Salad Bowl' now preached in all Tucson school, and local Ed. Schools. btw - never went to a School of Education at a Univ. I wanted to learn something. Took certification courses for K-12 years later to teach Sp.Ed.

No disrespect meant to Ed.School Rantburgers - you have obviously shed off the vapidity it implies.

#11 I honestly wonder if another two + years of this POS will swamp the ship of state beyond the capacity of the already foundering economic pumps. We are broke, divided, and being subsumed by the ignorant, the venal and the clueless, legal, illegal, native and invader. Can someone offer a bright answer how to close the border and enforce the laws, prevent the creation of new laws by executive tyranny, and preserve the currency? I despair and think the tipping point has passed. My fellow citizens are increasingly outnumbered, apathetic, ignorant, or cowed, and the actions now to right the ship require hard choices and, sadly, hard, stern measures. Are there enough Americans left to nut up and do what needs doing? I don't know, but if there are, they are not in California.....

#12 The Feds are going to be sending in Federal Police in Riot Gear against those who are demanding immigration laws be enforced.

This will be the red line crossed by Obama of Americans vs Americas first ever tyrant. This will get him put out of office. He has said in his book he will stand with immigrants before he will stand with the citizens of the United States of America.

#13 Yes, #12. We have our own Kimmie. He will surely fall. He is a dangerous man living in his own world of make believe. Government is simply his toy to play with. In my opinion he is mentally unstable.
