From The Huffington Post:

A second-grader stole the show today, even as U.S. President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon held a press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House.

While the two Presidents spoke about the need for immigration reform and about concerns over Arizona’s harsh new law — without saying anything new or different — down the road in Silver Spring, Maryland, First Lady Michele Obama and Mexico’s First Lady Margarita Zavala visited an elementary school to speak with a class of second graders.

    This is pathetic. The democrats are obviously running out of options if they are using Hispanic kids to push their pro-illegal agenda.

    I look forward to the day when the president, and liberals understand that illegal is illegal, ( against the law)and deportation isn’t a bad word. We have laws that were passed in last few years that were fair, fair in the sense that there were certain things necessary to become a citizen, and for those here illegally the law would be enforced. Amnesty was tried by Carter, Regan to no avail, they forgot to seal the boarder. We have millions of illegals costing this country billions of dollars, social,health,education, what happens when 20million illegals are added to the this new health care program that excluded illegals orginally? Once again the American tax payer has to dig deeper.
    I wish the president came out and made 287G law a mandatory law of the land,and stop bending over to every third world leader that comes here , I praise AZ for taking the stand it took. The goverments duty is to protect its citizens, close the boarder at all cost, troops if necessay.
    The demise of a country starts with the demise of its laws, and I hope elected officials up hold the laws on the books, and enforce them.
    Mexico has one of the hardest immigration laws there is, and they enforce it,you must show doc**entation if stopped,jail isn’t an option if you don’t have the proper papers.

    catt11daddi…you are so correct I agree 100% with all that you said. Here in Az we recognize the problem…it is not about feeling sorry for them, they need to run their own country to be acceptable to them not run over to ours and expect that they are welcome illegally. We as Americans have no rights in Mexico and they make sure of that.

    America is the land of dreams…people have died in the desert trying to have a better life here, people are dying in wars trying to protect the citizens here, and people are dying everyday from some form of Government neglect….I think that it is a Civil Rights violation in the worst form to tell another human being where they can live on this Planet…If I travel to a far away Country and decide that’s where I want to live, no Government Racial Road Blocks should hinder me from getting in,..now if I were a felon and trying to escape to another country, that’s different…By all means card me..But if I am Legal in Mexico and want to be legal in Amerca?…..Why Cant I just Go to the DMV and get a drivers license exchange or State ID..Why make a spectacle out of me..The White Man is Legal in every Country!..They’re over in Africa right now driving people off their properties and digging up graves..calling themselves Archeologists

    It’s time to stop spending money on boarders, water boarders and Berlin Walls!!!…Let the workers into the country so we can all have some peace!

    The citizens out here in Arizona have been tagging buildings with gang signs expressing anger of discrimination…I guess when the fires start up again this summer…The Government will start to listen..these people in Arizona only talk about burning this Country to the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Welcome to America….Ground ZERO!

    If she’s here illegally get the f**k out.
    This is the only country where we have to explain our every move to those who aren’t even citizens.
    If you don’t have what you need to be here then you should leave and take your pity parties with you.

    Yes I left the “i” out of Amerca on purpose!…. so what?…

    I have ZERO SYMPATHY AND ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. If you slithered into this country on your belly — rather than going through appropriate channels and proper protocol– than you are here illegally. You are a criminal, and upon detection, you should be deported IMMEDIATELY.

    Mexico doesn’t allow undoc**ented aliens to reside and work in their country, why should the United States? If the illegal aliens would use as much “brain power” trying to clean up their own country as they do in trying to slip over the border illegally, maybe they could help restore their country to a place where they could inhabit and work and raise their families. TO ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS: It is time to go home, not tomorrow, but today — RIGHT NOW… Get to steppin’.

    NO AMNESTY!

I will answer that…Son, This ain’t a part of Mexico, okay, your State (CONUS) I.D. will not convert over instantly if you went to a “DMV” over there…As a mater of fact, their immigration laws are MORE STRICT THAN OURS!! What part of that, you can not figure out!!! I lived in Three European nation states (U.K, FRD, Reno de Espana) and only “El Reno” has a easy way in!!! and look at them now…. two centimeters from Bankruptcy!! What about all those who went through the legal way {immigration}, are you going to refund their money (average fees, services, filing, medical, dental exams, attorneys fees,home nation police records checks equal $41,000 USD) Noooooooope!!! you will not!!! because you want to live like the tv show “Star Terk”{hell the only ones that got “jobs”, are in “Star Fleet”}…..This ain’t the 23rd century. I don’t give f**k about other races!!! I look out for MY OWN!! The French imported my ancestors here 1589 @ place call Mobile…. That be Alabama!! Did you learn something ….”IMPORTED” not migrate, “IMPORTED”….. BHO is a sell out!! If you don’t like US, get the f**k out!!!

    Black people have alot of problems without bothering themselves with the immigration issue. Basically the people who wrote this law are known to come from racist organizations that have been chronicled by the SPLC an organization credited with fighting for civil rights and against hate groups in America. It is basically a diversion tactic to take people away from what is the real problem in America which is jobs and people losing their homes. Why is immigration suddenly an issue, they have been here for decades.

    Black people should be concerned about illegal aliens flooding and border-jumping into the U.S. The issue is that many white business-owners do not want to pay decent, living wages. And illegal aliens “under-cut” this type of wage. Speaking of black people, from unskilled labor to formally educated, many of us will NOT work “for peanuts” so to speak. Illegal aliens will. Coming from poor countries, for example Mexico, that refuses to provide for it’s people and clean up their government—illegal aliens flock to the U.S. Understand, there is no war. And they are not seeking political asylum. There is nothing that precludes illegals from cleaning up their home countries. Amerikka has enough scandal and dirt of her own in attempting to stabilize herself and provide jobs to her legal citizens. I do not agree with Arizona’s “racial pro-filing” law, but the reality is that there ARE a lot of illegal aliens residing there. A more effective and acceptable process can and should be implemented in weeding out illegal aliens.

    Do not be hood-winked. There IS work for the legal citizens in this country. But the rule of the day remains capitalism and GREED.

    Follow the process as others have done–and apply for citizenship. Strong-arm approaches that, “Amerikka owes me” is bullchit. When enough illegal aliens bankrupt the systems that are in Amerikka, people will be singing a different tune. We educate their kids, provide special programs and education to their kid with physical and mental disabilities, provide over 12 million annually to them for welfare benefits, build schools, especially in the urban arena because the neighborhoods are deluged with their children and unable to accommodate LEGAL students. Health-care systems are nearly depleted before the end of the fiscal year. Many will not assimilate and the “climate” is now for legal citizens to learn to speak whatever their native tongue is!

    Where the euro-clowns fucc’d up at is they did not THINK that illegal aliens came with a plan. But they did. For the illegal aliens that are here and unable to provide doc**entation? They work and provide oranges, fruit, tamales, flowers, etc. and do whatever it takes to provide for their children and put them through school and college. I commend them for wanting “better” for their children. However, I do not condone illegal entries.

    Illegal aliens have made the lemonade and now the euro-clowns have to drink it. Serves them right. Racist business-owners refuse to hire blacks, but will hire an illegal alien that quite frankly gives “less than a rat’s arse about a euro-clown.” Illegal aliens are tag-teaming with racist whites NOW, but once the off-spring of illegal aliens AND the legal citizens get a foot-hold in economics, law, politics and education?

    The euro-clowns can kiss the baby good-bye.
