Obama is hell bent on the hispanic vote. He has violated his oath of office and the constitution for votes. 23 million americans unemployed or underemployed, those are alot of votes Mr. President that you should be focusing on, but once again you slapped them in the face with your back door amnesty policies and have lost their votes. It's a shame that illegals hold sway on our american elections. This is a disaster. Obama and his pro-illegal "criminal" agenda must be defeated in November. Americans and legal law abiding citizens must stand up to this catastrophe.

I don't agree with this decision but am still likely to vote for Obama. He is still the much lesser evil of the two candidates. I can't vote Republican as long as they are controlled by religious fundies.

Anyone who fights in the armed forces of this nation is a citizen. I am proud to have served with many Latinos in the army and they are my brothers. As an African American I support my Hispanic brothers.

Don't worry this is just one more step tword creating the NAU (North American Union, America-Mexico-Canada) that will mean the end of the Constitution and all of our rights. Thats the day we all become slaves, we will all need work permits and we will all be told where to live and what to do. Enjoy those American values while they last!

Turtle Keeper, your rights are being protected by, who is that? Oh, yeah. Some of the immigrants that are protected under this new deferral have served YOU in the United States military. Look, Obama couldn't care less about any of these people. Timing speaks volumes. I do not support this president. However, I am one that happens to believe this actually doesn't go far enough. It is an insult to those that have served in our military. It shows lack of American values and compassion to say that a child that has been here by no choice of their own for many years and knows no other country should be sent-off to a land they have no memory of ever living in. It is equally a joke because our borders are still wide open to anyone and we all know they are being exploited by terrorists. Stop letting your politics and frustration with the border situation and irritation with Obama cloud good judgement. We are talking about young successful adults and people that have put their life on the line serving our country in the military that are being protected for "two years."

Some idiots will still vote for him, even though he just hurt their chances of finding work. Oh yeah, a lot of those people don't want to work.

C'mon man. There are lazy whites, browns, etc. I see them on the corners with signs begging for change. Obviously you are trying to make yourself feel good about yourself. I am have always worked and and make a very reasonable salary. Pay my taxes. My friends and neighbors are doing the same. No - we live a 90% African American community that consist of business owners, managers, and persons working in manufactoring. I have seen persons from all races that are very lazy. Oh yeah - It is right here in Memphis. So predictable....

I hope the media and others are as accommodating when the next Republican president chooses to bypass Congress and do what-ever-the-heck he wants to. It's just more vote-buying by this narcissist president of ours.
