Lies and Immigration
Democrats like to paint themselves as the party of the immigrant. They also tend to hitch their wagon to lots of other interest groups, including women, racial minorities, sexual minorities, and endangered species (except the most endangered species on the planet, the white, straight, male.)

As an immigration attorney, I'm rather skeptical of any partisan claims to sanctity. Democrats are as political as the GOP when it comes to doing for the 'undocumented.' Yes, Republicans have a tendency to put their feet in their mouths more obviously, as when Mitt Romney made that really stupid comment about immigrants self-deporting. (The government, up until now, had a problem perfecting the deportation process, so imagine how a poor, illiterate immigrant could manage that feat.)
But the really stupid thing, worse than any malapropism from the Romney camp, is the way the Obama administration and its proxies tried to capitalize on that comment. If Obama were a wise man, he would have stayed far away from criticizing anyone about deporting 'illegals' and the manner in which it is done.
Because facts don't lie, and our current president has been more successful than his Republican predecessors in cleaning up Dodge, so to speak. According to immigratioin blogger Matthew Kolken, Obama holds the all-time record for deportations by a sitting president (or a standing one, I'm guessing.) And statistics show that his claim of targeting 'criminal aliens' is-in a word-false.
So while I'm no fan of the GOP and their record with respect to immigration reform, it's pretty darn clear that the other side is worse. They pretend to stand up for the rights of the downtrodden. And then they tread on them.
Next campaign issue, Mr. President?
"The government, up until now, had a problem perfecting the deportation process, so imagine how a poor, illiterate immigrant could manage that feat."
Gee, didn't these folks trespass into the country without the government's help? Seems to me they can exit in the same manner. Imagine what that mythic energy they are said to possess will do for their homelands upon their return.— wandagb- Is "downtrodden" the new term for illegal alien? In this economy there is nothing noble in feeding others (illegals) while ours (Americans) go hungry.
Ms.Flowers may want to think about checking with border towns in Mexico to confirm it is Flowers, not Romney, whose foot is in the mouth re the numbers of self-deporting illegal aliens returning to their homelands.
Illegal aliens are cash cows for immigration attorneys and as such serve as examples for Shakespeare's written directive: "First, let's kill all the attorneys."— Chantal
