Obamagration and how it effects legal residents and citizens in the U.S.
Vince G:
Propaganda alive and well in the media. As in religion, I am not political nor democratic or republican so don't start editing this post.
Here are the facts. This started with a girl in school right here in Miami that much like Obama's speech, the girl came to this country at a young age (2-3?) with her parents. I think recent (last year) her parents were deported? She is top of her class (valedictorian) and was a few months from graduating when she was told she was being deported. In trying to get help so she could graduate it lead all the way to the President in which she recently did graduate last week.
He seeing this is a problem that keeps getting pushed aside along with other proposals only for the reason to make him look bad, he took it upon himself to get something done for the others like that girl. It is not for every immigrate and it's not a free pass. It's just gives these kids leeway to finish their education.

Willy, I think it is a trick too! I think this is his way of buying the Hispanic vote here for the upcoming election.

I wrote and told him to let in Chinese Wives as well then he could rely on at least one or two more votes from here.

I wrote him the same letter. I think he thought I was lying... I was. >:(
But then again he thinks America needs to be a 3rd world nation that our superiority has been bad for the world.
I fear that very sad times are ahead of us in America if something does not change. (Please note I am not trying to get political. If I we to expand on this statement it would be political.)

New Asian immigrants to US now surpass Hispanics
http://news.yahoo.com/asian-immigrants-us-now-surpass-hispanics-041526805.html
WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time, the influx of Asians moving to the U.S. has surpassed that of Hispanics, reflecting a slowdown in illegal immigration while American employers increase their demand for high-skilled workers.
An expansive study by the Pew Research Center details what it describes as "the rise of Asian-Americans," a highly diverse and fast-growing group making up nearly 6 percent of the U.S. population. Mostly foreign-born and naturalized citizens, their numbers have been boosted by increases in visas granted to specialized workers and to wealthy investors as the U.S. economy becomes driven less by manufacturing and more by technology.
"Too often the policy debates on immigration fixate on just one part — illegal immigration," said Karthick Ramakrishnan, a political science professor at the University of California-Riverside and a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "U.S. immigration is more diverse and broader than that, with policy that needs to focus also on high-skilled workers." "With net migration from Mexico now at zero, the role of Asian-Americans has become more important," he said.
About 430,000 Asians, or 36 percent of all new immigrants, arrived in the U.S. in 2010, according to the latest census data. That's compared to about 370,000, or 31 percent, who were Hispanic.
The Pew analysis, released Tuesday, said the tipping point for Asian immigrants likely occurred during 2009 as illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico sharply declined due to increased immigration enforcement and a dwindling supply of low-wage work in the weak U.S. economy. Many Mexicans already in the U.S. have also been heading back to their country, putting recent net migration at a standstill.
As recently as 2007, about 390,000 of new immigrants to the U.S. were Asian, compared to 540,000 who were Hispanic.
The shift to increased Asian immigration, particularly of people from India, China and South Korea, coincides with changes in U.S. immigration policy dating to the 1990s that began to favor wealthy and educated workers.

That is comparing apples to oranges, they are trying to use the legal immigration numbers of Asians to convince people that illegal immigration numbers of Hispanics is shrinking.
