Are they actually blaming Obama for the illegal immigration problem?

Hey Black Diamond...

Add in there that President Obama is not a USA citizen aka the "birther" delusion, that "he was a secret agent of the CIA" delusion, that he is a "puppet of the New World Order" delusion ... and on and on and on and on and on.

You have to wonder how ONE MAN can cause sooo much disharmony and fears to some people?? A reasonable person has to reasonably ask .. "could it be because he is the first man of color" as our President?

I also believe that change frightens all those people who are follwing the Status Quo...

People can be very afraid of change...

[Blackdiamond]

AMEN, READER AND DENNIS. TOLD LIKE IT IS.

Change is frightening - but change just for the sake of change isn't necessarily a good thing.
Change doesn't mean that you have to stop being true to yourself.
In this case... in "Arizona fights back"... we are talking about a state that has had it with people taking over their land. The good people of Arizona are tired of the border towns being scary places. They are tired of the border farms being places for crimes to be commited by people who have no business being there in the first place.
Enough is enough.
In this case.. the change should be enforcing the laws of our land. Securing our borders ..Obeying our laws.. and providing for the safety of the citizens of this great nation before we are concerned about the rights of those who choose to break our laws to get here. There is a right way to come to the USA to live. People do it all the time. My grandparents did it. There is a right way.
In my opinion.

Here's a hypothetical question. Would Americans think differently about illegal immigrants if our government had an open door policy on immigration like it did when my Father came here in the early 20th century? What if the policy was such that our government allowed legal entry with a path to citizenship to just about anyone who wanted it? Would those who are now bitter feel any different and why?

I think this paragraph disputes your assertion that we allowed illegal aliens to enter our country freely. Don't you realize by now that everything you say has to be checked for the truth?

Immigrants entering the United States who could not afford first or second-class passage came through the processing center at Ellis Island, New York. Built in 1892, the center handled some 12 million European immigrants, herding thousands of them a day through the barn-like structure during the peak years for screening. Government inspectors asked a list of twenty-nine probing questions, such as: Have you money, relatives or a job in the United States? Are you a polygamist? An anarchist? Next, the doctors and nurses poked
Medical examination
Ellis Island, 1910
and prodded them, looking for signs of disease or debilitating handicaps. Usually immigrants were only detained 3 or 4 hours, and then free to leave. If they did not receive stamps of approval, and many did not because they were deemed criminals, strikebreakers, anarchists or carriers of disease, they were sent back to their place of origin at the expense of the shipping line.
