He has but many ethnocentric Hispanics who expected him to implement as amnesty in his first year because he promised it and didn't deliver are disallusioned and getting angry with hm for not coming through for them. They will punish the entire Democratic party this November for that if they aren't given back that little ray of hope as in this meeting being held today. I know as I read a lot of political forums and that is the Hispanic sentiment right now.
I cant speak to any of that stuff, I just know polls say he recieved the majority of the Hispanic vote in the last election.
I am unable to speak wether many ethnocentric Hispanics are angry with him. As I dont read any political forums, I am not tied into the Hispanic Psyche.

Talk about an empty threat in the part of pro illegal groups--------the alternative being the GOP if the Dems lose.

You know they are so desperate that they just might jump over to the other side. Remember that both Bush and McCain promised amnesty also. What they don't understand is that it is congress that makes immigration policy but they will never get it if the Repubs gain more seats in November this fall.
Although I agree that not all Hispanics are on the amnesty band wagon far too many are because of that tribally, ethnocentric mindset.
American Chicanos? Oh boy, I'm not even going to go there. At least not under this topic.
What really gets me though is that only 10 million Hispanic votes were cast in the presidential election so why are they concerned about such an insignifcant voting block?
THANKYOU! I think they want to create a larger voting block, and then use it.
A meeting for this past Monday with President Obama and Senators Schumer and Graham was canceled and has been re-scheduled to this Thursday-today. (although no official rescheduling date has been released)
Notice our president is not viewing this as an important issue yet suggests something to be done before the scheduled march on the 21'st of this month.
Today is a good day to once again contact your legislator with your ideas and concerns.
White House Immigration Meeting Postponed « SpeakEasy (http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2010/03/08/white-house-immigration-meeting-postponed/ - broken link)
Edit: The immigration meeting will be rescheduled, a White House spokesman said - and staffers will meet with grassroots immigration groups on Thursday. -- Glenn Thrush
I hope this is just a meeting to make supporters think they are doing something. Americans are not about to put up with jobs being given to illegals right now. I don't even know why Obama would lie to them aboutany kind of Amnesty he knows he is not gonna get passed.
Lindsay Graham is an advocate for Amnesty for Illegals. He is using this to try to leverage influence with this administration over the terms contained in the socialized health insurance bill.
Lindsay Graham is a Progressive in RINO clothing. He, like Schumer, is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
