Obama says he will not enforce the law.

[Slade3200]

So it would be fair to say that you were ignorant about that graph but thanks to yours truly you have seen the light?!

I was not ignorant about the graph, I misinterpreted what it was. I had searched for the rate, and the link said rate, but the graph was not for the rate. On the other hand, you're ignorant about everything else, so it's fair. Being a Liberal means you're ignorant by default.

That's fine if you think that... I disagree, big surprise

You gotta admit though it must be a little surprising for you to see that more illegals have left this country than come in over Obamas presidency. Right?

I know that problems still exist but I bet you thought the illegals were coming over in droves from all that non ignorant right wing rhetoric that's thrown out there.

There are no statistics for the actual rate to prove that statement.

More problems exist now than before he took office. He created most of them with his socialist leftist policies that you love so much.

You dont know what I love and don't love... Don't be presumptive.

You just posted a graph with those stats. The NET population of illegals in the US under Obama has decreased. Do we need to go over the graph again? it sounds like you're still not getting it.

I want the rate they're entering the country. I can't find it.

Divide the current year by the year you want to compare. For the obama presidency and your graph data there was an 8% decrease or close to 1 million less illegals in this country

"Obama: I'm Still Not Enforcing Immigration Law, No Matter What The Court Says " (Daily Caller)

Didn't he take an oath of office to uphold our laws ? Just asking

Wrong.

This is a lie.

Immigration laws are in being enforced.

Priority is being given to gang members, drugs dealers, and other criminals to be deported first, which is appropriate and warranted.

When they've all been deported, 19 year old college students who came to the US legally when they were two will be next.

Are you hoping he does enforce the immigration laws? Huh, and you are against Trump and claim he hates Mexicans....why?

The left and their hypocrisy and double talk.

Look at this weirdo. He is bragging about obama deporting illegals and gets offended when Trump says he is going to deport illegals.

He makes sense to the other losers on the left. He even makes sense to himself. Can you believe it?

 

[hunarcy]

You literally just said he was breaking immigration laws. Also, "Undocumented Immigrants"? Hilarious, no, they're breaking the law by being here and should never be allowed to be employed, and anyone that does employ them should be thrown in jail, along with said illegals they employed.

Pot smokers are breaking the law in Colorado and Washington as well... do you want to arrest all of them too?

'smatter Slade, you against the Constitution and Rule of law, too? Think ANY President should just be able to do whatever the hell they want? News Flash: That's not a President. It's a dictator.

I think the President is doing what his resources allow him to do and he is working on making a smart plan to handle the situation. We don't have the resources to round up, arrest and deport 11 million people. He is focusing on criminals and new crossers. People that have been here for years and who are working in our communities he is trying to give them an option to work legally. That means they pay taxes... Imagine that! You all are idiots that distort the situation and you think i'm way off. Look at all the bitching and nobody has presented a real plan on what they want to do besides throw them in jail and deport them... Come back to reality, I want to visit Saturn and slide on the rings but i'm not pissed at Obama for not letting me go.

And you all ignore the fact that Obama has deported a record number of illegals:
U.S. deportations of immigrants reach record high in 2013

Only if you count people turned around at the border as a deporation.

High deportation figures are misleading

In fact, "...A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before Obama came to office, according to immigration data."

Good to consider... Apparently, there has been an obvious shift in focus towards criminals and national security deportations, which is a good thing. would you agree?

FY 2015 ICE Immigration Removals

Forgive me, but isn't anyone who breaks the law by coming here without following the law committing a crime? Doesn't that make each of them a criminal?

No, he's not doing everything in his power. He's violated the constitution 64 times. With that sort of leeway, and the majority he had at the start of his term, he was able to do whatever he wanted, and he chose to dump all over the economy, businesses, and the American people in general. Your faith in this failed president is amusing. Delusional, but amusing nonetheless.

On the contrary, I don't think he did an amazing job with the economy, there is much to be desired. But I do like him and can acknowledge the good that he has done. People like you are so blind with hate and frustration that EVERYTHING Obama is bad. I just posted a link from ICE that you ignored which shows positive progress with deportations and immigration. Why can't anybody acknowledge it... Your the 4th person i've asked about the link and the 4th person thats dodged the question.

They don't dodge the question. They ignore the PROPAGANDA which is disguised as a news source.

I addressed the link, actually, but I can go in-depth if you like. Firstly, it shows different colors for criminals and 'non-criminals', completely ignoring that coming here illegally is a criminal offense.Secondly, as pointed out last time, he's deporting more because he's allowing more into the country.

Oh look, record number of illegals entering the country under Obama. Who would have thought?

I'm not blind with 'hate and frustration', I'm realistic. Obama has done NOTHING good for the country. There is not a single policy he has implemented that has helped this country at all, as everything he has done has been to progress the Liberal agenda.

I'll get back to you tonight... heading to a BBQ

Hope you had a great time!!!!

You could look at it that way. I could also ask if you've ever driven 60 in a 55 zone or forgot to wear your seatbelt making you a criminal. We can say all pot smokers in WA and CO are criminals... I don't think these people should get a free pass and I do believe we need a better boarder. But if you want to have a serious realistic discussion we have to consider the scope of the situation and the resources available then determine the best action. This is not a simple situation

General lack of standards. They don't need to do things well, just to do things, because they get tax dollars from the people whether they do things well or not.

Because the people who vote Democrat are typically the people who stay home and collect Federal Aid instead of getting an actual job.

Damn, you have a sad outlook on things. I agree that there are many problems and inefficiencies in our government. I promote small business over big government and big business, however, you call it a necessary evil? That's pretty damn dramatic. Our government is there to protect us and provide a fair playing field. Yes, they overstep at times, they get things wrong at times, they are ALWAYS going to upset a fraction of our divided country. But the principles that they stand on are sound. They are led by elected officials that represent the people of this country. Its up to us to get involved to voice our opinions and elect the best possible people for the job.

You speak in such a negative unproductive way about our government... It can only cause conflict and gridlock with that mindset. If you were part of the executive team of a company with that attitude you'd be fired in a heart beat and replacedwith somebody who brings positive energy and productive ideas to the table. Bitching and moaning is only going to get you so far.

And a little insight for you off base assumption and out democratic voters. Look at the stats of voters compared to welfare recipients. They only comprise a small section. The majority are not collecting checks and not hungry to pay more taxes. The social platform plays a big role and their desire to use our resources to help the poor and the environment. While policy arguments can be made the effectiveness of both party ideologies don't dumb it down like you did, it makes you look ignorant

No, you have it all wrong. Our government is SUPPOSED to protect us, and is supposed to serve the people. Our government does nothing but serve itself, and only serves us when it has something to gain prom it. Our government constantly expands beyond their former boundaries, and the elected officials are there to serve themselves. We only elect the officials that have the most to gain from serving the people.

That's good, gridlock means they aren't destroying even more of our way of life.

Both. The government is nothing more or less than a necessary evil, and has grown FAR beyond what it should have been, with way too many agencies.

Because the people who vote Democrat are typically the people who stay home and collect Federal Aid instead of getting an actual job.

And a little insight for you off base assumption and out democratic voters. Look at the stats of voters compared to welfare recipients. They only comprise a small section. The majority are not collecting checks and not hungry to pay more taxes. The social platform plays a big role and their desire to use our resources to help the poor and the environment. While policy arguments can be made the effectiveness of both party ideologies don't dumb it down like you did, it makes you look ignorant

Your statement is outright false. The federal aid, which shouldn't even exist, allows people to collect it instead of getting a job, and Democrats push to expand and add more similar programs to it, then when a Republican calls for getting rid of it, makes the false claim that they're attacking the poor.
