Obama calls Immigration and Customs officers terrorists.

Quote:
“When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids…when all that is happening, the system just isn’t working, and we need to change it.”
YouTube - Obama speaks at La Raza Event

These men and women are doing their job which is to round up illegal aliens. If they were not in the country illegally to begin with they wouldn't have to worry about being arrested.

Once again Obama pandering to some special interest group whoring for their vote.

Re: Obama calls Immigration and Customs officers terrorists.

Is Obama suggesting that the officers NOT do their job???? Will they still receive a paycheck if they're forced to sit with their thumbs up their asses? Geeez! What a moron this guy is turning out to be!!!

I haven't seen the youtube clip, but Obama could be referring to the Republican policy of imprisoning border patrol agents who do their jobs which has been perpetuated by Johnny Sutton.

Re: Obama calls Immigration and Customs officers terrorists.

There were some fine Americans out there at the San Diego Convention Center who voiced their displeasure at Obama's support of La Raza.

If illegals believe they're being "terrorized", maybe they should just go back to wherever the fuck they came from. If they elect to try to stay here, well, then I don't think they can be terrorized enough...

Re: Obama calls Immigration and Customs officers terrorists.

This is the proper imagery for a group such as La Raza.

It does beg the question, though: "What are we doing with unauthorized immigrants?"

Well so far...a job, free health care, free education and some even social security.

Well, they are contributing to our economy. We need to come up with a plan that works, as having millions of people in this country with mystery records and no official status is not healthy. The status quo is not so hot, and attempting to throw them out on a mass scale is foolhardy and improbable.

Whatever it is, it's not severe enough...

True of course simply ejecting millions is both ruthless and impossible.

However, I have a novel idea...how about letting ICE eject the ones that commit crimes?....oh wait, Obama would nix that...

Well, I could vouch for that. It's generally (and globally) understood that if you are an immigrant of any stripe, you'll get your rear thrown out.

But, what do you have from him saying he wouldn't throw out actual criminals?

It's a 20-second excerpt cut to specifically eliminate context. I find myself unimpressed.

Re: Obama calls Immigration and Customs officers terrorists.

Well--he sure went over the top on this one. Nursing babies "torn" from their mothers?? Give me a break--never heard of that one! As far as raids. I know of several restaurants in my area that were raided by immigration. Yes, they found lots of illegals working there. I doubt they were denied legal access or that there were any babies taken away from their mothers.

Obama is suggesting that our tax payer EXPENSIVE federal immigration department NOT do their jobs?

Pandering for votes, that's all this is. Just another politician.
