GOP reaction to Obama's immigration policy

[finnbow]

It's kinda humorous watching Romney and the GOP's reaction to Obama's newly announced policy on immigrant children. Their reaction? Why did he do it now when he could have done it three years ago? No criticism of the policy itself, but bemoaning that it wasn't done sooner? WTF?

This is coming from the same folks who blocked their own President's (Dubya's) efforts at comprehensive immigration reform. What a bunch of disingenuous jagoffs.

Right.

Tomorrow, they'll complain about the policy itself, after crying that he hadn't done it sooner. I see you've noticed the GOP modus operundi.

They've already been rolling the turd of protecting 'Merican jobs from these young people and schoolkids who are hellbent on stealing our high paying lawncare special-ist jobs. WTF?

Of course they are calling it political grandstanding and an insult to our newly minted citizens, that sentiment came out of Rumballs mouth already. Gotta say any latino/latina voter who was on the fence about who to vote for this November is now firmly focused on the election and certainly not voting for Romney. I've conducted my own poll and it's 100% for Obama so far with a deep dislike of the Republicans who have stymied any resolution of this issue.

Saw Sennsenbrenner crying and moaning about jobs on the Newshour. What is it with Wisconson? Something in the water?

As long as they are not granting a "leg up" to them in the citizen race. That would be very unfair to all those that are spending the thousands and thousands of dollars and taking the years it takes to become legal citizens.

And dying while waiting for approval...the economic pull of the United States is so vast that people in places close to United States will naturally come here illegally, especially as in the case of Latin America there is a natural push factor because of the poor economic countries there. You do not think the immigrants coming here illegally know that it takes money and years to get here? They are way more concerned about making money and sending it back home so their families there can survive.
My wife is from the Philippines...to petition a brother or sister it would take years to get them here and most would die before getting approval, or be so old it would not be worth the trouble to come.
These kids did not come here on their own volition they were brought by mom and dad. And they are a resource whether you believe it or not. Who knows one of them may find the cure for cancer you can never tell. When I see these people at the storefronts with their anti-dream act petitions I want to go up to them and say ok....do you want dumb people to run the country some day or do you want smart people to run it....think about it. These immigrants and their children are our future and there is not much you can do to change it.

That was a nice elegant political move by Obama's team IMHO. The GOP should have done something before this to counter this predictable move by Obama.
