in two short paragraphs or less, please lay out your comprehensive immigration policy that doesn't come off as xenophobic or bigoted
It's not my job, unless you want to vote me in as POTUS. And to be honest with you, I have no problem coming off as bigoted, though I don't think I am. People who enter this country illegally should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. How is that bigoted.
Anyway, Obama is far more qualified than I to be POTUS, so let's see his immigration policy.
For the past eight years, George Bush watched, and assisted as some eight to twelve million illegal migrants crashed U.S. borders to displace American workers while they wreaked chaos in American schools, hospitals and prisons. At press conferences, he said, “They do the jobs that Americans won’t do.” While reports show illegal aliens killed more Americans via drunk driving, murders and rapes than combat soldiers suffered death in Iraq and Afghanistan, Mr. Bush no longer speaks about illegal migrants doing the jobs that Americans won’t do. Gees! Can’t figure that one out now, can we?
At the same time, Bush and Congress gave away jobs by pushing for millions of H1-B and H2-B visas for foreign workers to displace American jobs. Bush worked hardest at offshoring, outsourcing and offshoring American jobs. He and Congress killed U.S. manufacturing. He finished the job that Clinton started!
Even sadder is the fact that he and all of those involved in this 8 year shell game of American and worldwide destruction will walk away 10 times wealthier with no punishment or regrets.
And what is Obama gonna do to stop this? Hmmmmmm?!?!?

I have to agree with what you've stated. Illegal immigration has played a massive role in the current economic crisis. The obtaining and defaulting on "undocumented" mortgage loans, identity theft, interpreters, court costs, education costs, medical cost; welfare fraud; cost of perpetual incarceration and deportations, murders, rapes, assaults on American citizens; and on and on it goes.
It is representative of having played a massive role in the current demise of this country, financial and otherwise.
Whether it appears bigotted is a moot point. The factual reality is undeniable.

I have no idea. Perhaps you should visit his website and pose that question.
That being said, America is on the verge of collapse and with each day that passes and hundreds of thousands of Americans lose their jobs and homes, for him to proceed with his pre-election promise of providing "a pathway to citizenship" or passage of the DreamAct would be the equivalent of political suicide.
Such an action will simply serve to encourage the growth of angry mobs more than willing to take matters into their own hands ala civil rights movement style.
I can only hope that for the sake of America's survival that the promises he made to the ethnocentric masses was nothing more than a tool to ensure that he received their votes.
Bush's legacy is that the have's and the have more's have gotten much much more at the expense of the people of the United States and most of the rest of the world. Indeed Bush can say, with misplaced pride, "Mission Accomplished". Indeed.

I agree - Bush has been an absolute disaster for this country - it will take a long time to recover from the havoc he has wreaked.
He has left the country in much worse shape than when he took the oath.
Not that he cares - I truly believe he only really cares about whether he did well by his rich campaign contributors

I agree with you 110% that something needs to be done, hell it needed to be done over 10 years ago but let me give you a little clue as to what Obama is going to do. NOT a damn thing, just like every other President before him. They won't take the chance in isolating the Hispanic vote. So stop blaming Bush and start blaming ALL the past presidents since none of them did squat.

I said the exact same thing after Bill Clintons "legacy".
