    But they are illegal what part he doesn’t understand?!!! What about the
    people whos been waiting for years to come here the right way? Who have had
    background checks ran already educated and honest still waiting to get
    approved for citizenship to fly by here not jump a fence or hide in a
    trunk! Or smuggle drugs and not gang members!! Its just not right!!

    #EverNotice when a politician says are system is broken , we are going to
    be faced with something being forced upon us we do not have a choice in???
    Why do we have to allow Mexican Migrants exploit our being vulnerable to
    allow them to exploit our system of defrauding us , our welfare system,
    health care system, car insurance system, state industrial insurance
    systems, benefits, jobs, then target single men to raise their kids, and to
    anchor their parents unknowingly…. and to be targeted to get asylum by
    creating domestic violence and abuse situations by exploitation of their
    kids and our single men? Why does this President do not see these
    things… The Mexican Migrant today does not like Americans, nor those
    Latino Americans who sacrificed before them who are legal Citizens. The
    System has not been more secure, they come here quicker and safer than ever
    before in American History. Sadly, we all pay the price, the People do NOT
    want them here, and the Economy has not fully recovered, now could never be
    the more worse time to allow such unnecessary nonsense and untimeliness to
    allow any type of legal migration. They can develop their own nation, and
    do those same things in Mexico they love more… We do not need anyone here
    to make our life more difficult , that is the Gridlock we have today, are
    laws that make us seem we need something we do not that make our lives more
    difficult.

    this was the best Speech on immigration I ever heard And my parents are
    immigrants and Lots of times they would cry Saying that Me and my Lil
    brother will never see them again if they deported And when that happens I
    tell them To not worry about I’ll Get you your Papers And then they just
    thank me but Yea like obama said Parents with American Kids Don’t want to
    be Separate from their parents Cause it just breaks our hearts Cause They
    can’t Go into public without thinking they will get deported
    And I really Hope My parents Get their American Papers
    God Bless Everyone, And God bless America

    All this “President” has done is lie and con the American people. He said
    on record 27 times he did not have the “authority” to do this. That he was
    not an Emperor “. That there are ” laws” in place he has to a bid by.
    Does anyone think this is an accident he waited until AFTER the elections
    to announce this???? Neither do I. He is using this as a political move
    only. He seems to think the American people are complete idiots.
    He is so quick to blame Congress, why didn’t he do this when his party had
    control of the White House, Congress, and House of Representatives??? I can
    tell you, it simply did not serve his agenda.
    And he even had the audacity to quote scripture from the Bible, speak about
    our traditions, and then bring out a sob story ( what about all the
    American citizens who work 2-3 jobs to take care of their families).
    What about all the LEGAL immigrants, this is a slap in the face to them!!
    This just tell everyone around the globe, come on over. Our borders are
    open. How exactly are these people suppose to prove they have been here for
    at least 5yrs.???? Let’s face facts, the majority of these illegals will
    remain “in the shadows”. This will solve nothing.
    Just one more epic failure by this administration. He is a disgrace to his
    office.

    4 the haters unless you are a Native American you or your family came from
    somewhere else. 

  8. Zenn says:

    White people be like: “I don’t hate black people, I just don’t think those
    monkeys should run our country.” Their racist logic kills my brain cells.

  9. groundhog2008 says:

    Americans everywhere are applauding what Obama is doing! But many of us do
    not think that he went far enough!! Most of us are wanting total, no
    strings attached amnesty, voting rights, and full access to all federal
    benefits, including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security!!!! Finally,
    we have a President who is not afraid to stand up to the racist, hate
    mongered republican party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. CDubs HasIt says:

    Do not be fooled. The southern border= democrat recruiting tool. That’s
    100% unacceptable. You think this man cares about YOU as a human being? I
    got a bridge to sell you. President Obama is following the cloward piven
    strategy to a T. THIS ISNT ABOUT CARING FOR IMMIGRANTS. THIS IS ABOUT
    FLOODING THE WELFARE SYSTEM AND LABOR MARKETS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY
    RECRUITING 12 million new DEMOCRATIC VOTES. 12 million New Democratic votes
    to take your guns take your jobs and to collapse the infrastructure this
    government is built on. The border patrol has been ordered to release
    felons and pedophiles in the name of political correctness so when your
    child is raped by an illegal immigrant you know exactly who to thank.
    President Obama said 22 times he could not take this action because he is
    not an emperor.. His words, not mine. Now he says he is an emperor.
    Congress creates law not the president. Period. Just because you’re mad you
    didn’t get your way in congress doesn’t mean he gets to act on his own.
    Period. 

  11. MrRednexus says:

    *clap clap* only rewards left here in America is welfare and due to our
    economy 4 millions illegals are either going to be on welfare or selling
    drugs good job! 

  12. Future Child says:

    I hate his voice, the snake voice of a traitor. 

  13. eric Stoenescu says:

    Our immigration system is broken because obama refuses to fix it and
    enforce the law. What a joke he’s a disgusting piece of shit. He will go
    down as the worst president in history. Fucking monkey. 

  14. loud4trth says:

    Obama and Dems just secured almost every minority vote in this country.
    Republicans are on their way to extinction with their Tea bums.

  15. Harsimran Singh says:

    We are also are strangers that killed an whole continent full of Native
    Americans

  16. Amber Russel says:

    This is why I voted for you mr. Obama, thank you for allowing the
    hardworking people to stay here, this is USA, everybody deserves a chance.
    FUCK those racist republicans who dont like brown ppl, if you’re not native
    American Then GTFO, my ancestors immigrated here 200 years ago from
    Netherlands, im glad they were given a chance. FUCK conservatives who are
    trying to deport families, Obama you are awesome #greatestpresidentinhistory
    

  17. eldom72 says:

    I love how conservatives say “illegals are stealing jobs.” Yeah right,
    because illegals are getting hired everyday by Google to write programming
    languages or by Chevrolet to build engines and transmissions. They’re the
    ones on the field everyday picking up fruits, raking leaves and picking up
    trash; jobs Americans don’t want to do. So if they’re stealing jobs, go to
    your nearest field and start picking up fruits. 

  18. Nina ofyobuisness says:

    Ok, this is not an issue with Obama or whatever the hell the republicans
    are saying to make him look bad, it’s about racism. I’m 99% sure that the
    people against this plan don’t give a flying fuck that the immigrants are
    supposedly “taking their jobs.” They just don’t like them or Obama because
    they aren’t white. It’s as simple as that. If George Bush or any one of
    these past presidents enforced this idea, it probably wouldn’t be getting
    this much negative attention.

    Obama, destroy republicans don’t give them shelter.

  22. James Gray says:

    Fuck you Obama. You fail at everything, now you’re just being a punk.

  23. Felix Sanchez says:

    I know how american feel. The same feeling Hong Konger has. Some Chinese
    just come here to grab our welfare without really contributing. 

  24. Edward M Tirone says:

    Every time he Speaks his Ears Grow Bigger ? Why will it NOT let me “Thumbs
    Down” ?

  25. Chapman Bragg Hester says:

    “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe
    free” What happened to that America? The America which considered itself a
    melting pot of cultures, ideas, and families. This country was founded upon
    those principles, of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Where all
    men are created equal, are there to be borders in that same equality? A
    child can be born in the United States, but due to his parent’s status be
    denied their right by birth. We are one planet of families, connected in a
    web that runs deeper than borders, deeper than anything we ourselves can
    create to divide us. America can choose to stand as a force that unites, or
    divides nations. If we choose the latter then we turn our backs on the
    foundation to which we stand, as a nation and as a people, and devalue the
    principles to which we claim to uphold.
