Obama's Latino Election Strategy: Do Nothing, Let Republicans Hang Themselves

Categories: Latinos

President Obama is one cool, laid-back dude.

If he's sweating the upcoming election, you sure wouldn't know it. Even with this toilet-bowl economy, a recent New York Times Magazine piece saying he's an underdog to win reelection, and a key, Latino electorate that's not as yes-we-can about this guy as it was in 2008, Obama's chillin' like a villain.

We actually like his do-nothing strategy for securing the Latino vote:


We may just run clips of the Republican debates verbatim. We won't even comment on them, we'll just run those in a loop on Univision and Telemundo, and people can make up their own minds.

That's what he told reporters at the White House this week (via Reuters).

Wow.

Remember the days when Republicans actually reached out to Latinos? Those days are so far gone that the leading candidates' own anti-illegal-immigrant stances are enough to condemn them and bring them over to the Dems, Obama is arguing.

Latinos haven't been happy with the president's pace on immigration reform. They want some amnesty for family members of those here legally. So far Obama's immigration resume is dominated by a historic buildup -- some call it a militarization -- of Mexican busters along the border.

This might be enough for Latinos to sour on a president many of them once considered to be a compadre.

BUT ... Republicans have veered so far right on immigration -- Herman Cain actually suggested electrifying "the fence" -- that Obama admits he could just cruise.

Irony? The main Republican line on immigration seems to be the same old stuff: Shore up the border. Send in the troops. Build a better, stronger, longer fence.

It's all stuff Obama has done already.

Dennis, please don't drive past the DUI checkpoints. This article is so void of substance, it's obvious you were writing it while in a drunken stupor. You do realize Obama is in none of the pictures above (yeah I know, to you all black men look alike).

In a new report from a Minnesotanewspaper, the Austin Daily Herald indicates that enforcement procedures in useon a local level be undeniably reversing the illegal migrant and immigrationtrends. In a mixture of factors that include police scrutiny of immigrationstatus to companies checking ID in the job seeking  course of action, foreign nationals arefinding it more difficult to settle in the state and are departing for theircountries of origin; but perhaps heading for more lenient cities as Los Angelesor  states as Nevada and New York.

 

Walter Schwartz, a business owneris a subject of this newspaper's report, in assisting illegal immigrants returnto their residences across the border. He informed the reporter that he is wellversed on every gas station, every interstate and even the flights fromMinnesota to cities south of the border.

 

Austin, Minnesota illegal alienproblems are a reflection of a countrywide drift of reverse immigration. Sincethe crash of the economy and over 22 million American; many on food stamps andwelfare, with thousands homeless, immigration has exploded into the nationalpress as never before. Ricocheting around the 50 states is the intimidation ofthe Department of IN-Justice over Alabama’s, Georgia, Arizona, Indiana and SouthCarolina policing policies, trying to save that extra few dollars thattaxpayers are forced to spend on economic foreigners—their children’seducation, hospital visits and welfare payments and assistance with low incomehousing Court enforced mostly unfunded mandates around the country, includingentitlement programs for foothold children brought here to raid statetreasuries.  But new state laws allowpolice to check a residents’ legal status and detain undocumented immigrants althoughthis nationwide event is taking place in a few states consumed by the evergrowing need of all economic illegal aliens.

The larger minority is illegal Hispanics,but 49 percent have slipped into America as overstays, with outdated visas fromacross the globe. Currently despite their illegal status many are becoming uncomfortableand self deporting. Many other illegal migrants and immigrants are fleeingoutwards, to more politically subservient states such as California, Nevada.

Most Americans respect people whofollow the law, but just appearing and asking for handouts—forget it. Even thehighest of skilled occupations, must be vetted through FBI, physical andprevious employment examinations, sometimes waiting years. Those who illegalcross borders, fly in and overstay have no reverence for our countries people.What is happening right now and adding to our own unemployed is people escapingpoverty, the drug dealers and criminals.  

Schwartz said in his interview,that he has helped families go back to Mexico before, but there are morefamilies than ever before looking to leave this year. They require atrouble-free way to get back to Mexico for a reasonable cost and Schwartz isprepared to help. "I take them all the way to wherever they tell me totake them,” Schwartz told the newspaper. "Mainly I’m taking families to bereunited."

 

Schwartz has aided illegal aliensleave US, for a number of years, but he says he's seen the numbers rise as thisyear; with more enforcement around the country. He said that he assists in transporting3-4 families every month.

 

The police crackdown near Austin,Minn. involves fraudulent documents. According to police records, the Austinpolice arrested 100 people for document forgery in 2010 up from 75 in 2009.

 

The Austin Daily Herald reports:"There are rumors people are losing their jobs at local plants as well,due to increased hiring scrutiny amid federal immigration programs. Displacedworkers who fear being fired and/or deported are going to Arcadia, Wis., to workfor the Ashley Furniture plant or to Postville, Iowa, or St. Joseph, Mo., towork at other meat processing plants." Companies that have alreadyviolated ICE audits and prosecuted, have seen a large increase of regularAmericans and lawful residents, lining-up for jobs—as illegal workers run off.

 

Out of work Americans and patrioticcitizens and residents can speed up this exodus, by promoting the E-Verifymandatory enforcement program, especially if President Obama signs a newdirective for a job program in ‘Construction.’ These jobs should be goingdirectly to unemployed workers in these particular occupations. Those notworking and want a job should get into action and phone 202-224-3121.

This is the Washington switchboard that can direct you toall House Representatives responsible for moving Chairman Lamar Smith's‘Legal Workforce Act’ (bill H.R.2885)to the house floor. Especially confront the new members sentto Congress by the TEA PARTY. Additionally, you can learn more about theillegal alien occupation, which permeated every community from Vermont toArizona by going to NumbersUSA web site. Judge for yourself the truth, insteadof reading the craftily engineered vitriol propaganda from the two parties.Become a TEA PARTY member and see what you can do to halt this economic mess,with billions of dollars annually going as free public assistance, to illegalaliens who break our laws. The TEA PARTY will enforce our immigration laws andconstruct the fence(s) as originally enacted in 2006.

 

Smith's Legal Workforce Act (H.R.2885)would require 100% of companies—large and small-- to use E-Verify for all newhires within 2 years. This bill would also require all federal, state, andlocal agencies as well as federal and state contractors/ sub-contractors andcritical infrastructure sites to use E-Verify within 6 months. Increaseemployer penalties and fines for knowingly hiring illegal alien workers.Require the Social Security Administration to send no-match letters toemployers if a current employee's name and social security number don't matchin their system. Require the Social Security Administration to notify owners ofa Social Security number if their number is used multiple times.

 

The old lethargic propaganda from the Left side of the aisle, thatAmericans will not do dirty jobs—is a big fallacy—it’s about good wages andbenefits. Young men are rushing to North Dakota for drilling operations in anoil bonanza, because they are earning a 100 grand annually. They have created30.000 jobs and people can get some of the action. It’s cold and dirty work,but nobody is complaining.  

 

Remember Liberals, Democrats and Republicans will concoct any rhetoric,to dislodge any candidates, other than their own chosen favorite. Democratswill manipulate voting using such unpalatable organizations, as ACORN. Theactivists that run this group, is re-organizing under a different name in NewYork. Previously they were hiring persons of ill-repute, to register anybodywho could sign their name—non-citizens and illegal aliens. Most American stateshave poor laws respecting the citizens right to vote and Arizona is noexception. With overwhelming numbers of illegal aliens in occupancy, the StateSenator who was recalled could have been compromised. Having only to show twopieces of personal ID, such as a utility or water bill, could be manufacturedon any computer. With the hasty arrival of the 2012 election, state voters mustdemand a picture ID, with proof-positive that the owner is a US citizen. 

 

The name of the game from both sides is money and power. More votes forthe Liberal Progressives, hidden away under the Democratic veil.  Elitist Republicans like the way things onthe beltway, as they have always been. Both parties will reclaim the ‘Pork’ andthe get-together’s with the money bundler’s and the never ending stream offinancial engineers from ‘K’ Street lobbyists. Only the TEA PARTY establishedas a majority in the Senate or House can return America to it principlefoundations as written into law by our founding fathers.
