No, I didnt vote for McCain, I just didnt vote for President.

JFK opened the door to Latinos seeking employment within the government sector. LBJ allowed them to participate in the “Great Society” programs. Nixon actually continued LBJ’s Great Society programs. Reagan allowed Latino immigrants to flood the manufacturing sector, driving down real wages, once his administration began to systematically dismantle the unions, and then permitting industrialized America to relocate just across the border. Bush One further encouraged Industrialized America to vacate the U.S., allowing tax benefits to assist in those departures. Clinton allowed those same manufacturers tax benefits to vacate Latin America and relocate their plants to the Pacific Rim and China. Bush Two named Alberto Gonzales attorney general. Obama hasn’t displayed any political behavior targeting the exploitation of any one specific ethnic group. Although, from reading some of these comments you would think some Tea Partiers’ have invaded this blog.

JFK included Mexican-Americans in his Viva Kennedy campaign and both Bobby and Ted understood Mexican-American issues.

LBJ was from Texas and included Mexican-Americans in Civil Rights enforcement. He also intervened on behalf of a WWII soldier named Felix Longoria who was not allowed to be buried in Texas. Johnson made arrangements to have him buried at Arlington.

Nixon was from CA, and while he was a GOP racist, he at least had some familiarity with Mexican-Americans, as did Reagan, who legalized immigrant workers. Presidents Bush I and II also were familiar with Mexican-Americans, as was Clinton who worked for McGovern in Texas.

How has Obama been better for Mexican-Americans than Bush? To my knowledge he has never set foot in the Southwest, and he doesn’t appear at all familar with us or our history in this country. He thinks we’re all “new.”

Because Obama promised to pursue immigration reform during the campaign. He said that to get votes and it worked. He made the promise, so he shouldn’t be surprised that people expect him to keep it.

And it’s funny how you say the full protections of the United States. The issue is one of human rights. Millions of people have been pushed off of their land because of NAFTA. American corporations move to Mexico and pollute the ground water and the soil making it impossible for people to live in certain areas. Google Smithfield Farms and their fecal lagoons. Maybe people should start paying attention to what our government does in our own hemisphere.

YOU were led to believe. I knew this fool was a liar from day one.

Since being elected his has focused all of his energies towards deporting more people than any President in the history of our country.

Actions speak louder than words, and I refuse to be fooled by this President any longer. He has to be voted out in 2012 if we are to have any hope for immigration reform.
