It Would Behoove Barack Obama To Immediately Stop Pissing Off Latinos

A national survey by the Pew Hispanic Center shows that by “a ratio of more than two-to-one (59% versus 27%), Latinos disapprove of the way the Obama administration is handling deportations of unauthorized immigrants.” This should come as no surprise to anyone following Latino affairs under Obama. Unfortunately, Pew Hispanic’s latest report reveals that”not all Latinos are aware that the Obama administration has stepped up deportations of unauthorized immigrants.”
In fact, Obama has overseen a 30% increase in deportations over the George W. Bush White House, up to nearly 400,000 during each of the last 2 years. In the first 6 months of 2011, la migra de Obama “deported more than 46,000 parents of U.S. citizen children.” Furthermore, while an estimated 81% of illegals are Latino Americans, 97% of the deported have been brown men and brown women.
To recap –
Seizing on President Obama’s failure to keep his campaign promises of comprehensive immigration reform, the Republican Party quickly moved to score political points with excitable bigots and chronically jobless white people. What began on Capitol Hill as an ordinary, baseless rally by both parties “to secure our nation’s borders” by allocating multimillion dollar contracts in public funds to political allies through lucrative “defense” and construction contracts quickly mutated into a cowardly GOP chorus railing against children they called Anchor Babies. Soon the 14th Amendment was under fire and GOP buffoons and bigots at the state- and local-level were emboldened from sea to shining sea. First came SB1070, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s wholesale rape of Latino civil rights for little more than”15 minutes” of political super-stardom and the usual multimillions of dollars inpublic funds for political allies.
