President Pander: Statistics Are ‘Deceptive’… Obama Tells Latinos — Don’t Worry We Are Not Actually Deporting More Illegals Than Bush

President Obama speaking at a Hispanic online roundtable discussion hosted by Yahoo!, MSN Latino, AOL Latino and HuffPost LatinoVoices on September 28, 2011.

GABRIEL LERNER: Mr. President you just mention enforcement of immigration laws in the subject of deportations, and you said that many of those- or it’s aimed at criminals but until now and until recently, it hadn’t been just criminals, or a majority of criminals those that have been deported. And also you have been deporting much more immigrants than the previous administration did in eight years.  So laws didn’t change; enforcement was done even then. Why that emphasis on deportation during your administration.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Actually what happened if you look at the statistics, two things happened. Number one is, is that there was a much greater emphasis on criminals rather than non-criminals.  And there’s been a huge shift in terms of enforcement. And that began as soon as I came into office, that change has taken place. Secondly the statistics are actually a little deceptive because what we’ve been doing is with the stronger border enforcement we’ve been apprehending folks at the borders and sending them back. That is counted as a deportation even though they may have only been held for a day, or 48 hours sent back. That’s counted as a deportation. So we’ve been much more effective on the borders but we have not been more aggressive when it comes to dealing for example with DREAM ACT kids, that’s just not the case. So what we’ve tried to do is within the constraints of the laws on the books, we’ve tried to be as fair, humane, just, as we can, recognizing though that the laws themselves need to be changed. And I’ve been unwavering in my support of changing the laws so that we’re strong on border security, we’re going after companies that are taking advantage of undocumented workers, paying them sub-minimum wages, you know not respecting workplace safety laws, but also saying that we’ve got to have a pathway to citizenship and for legal status for those who are already here and have put roots down here and are part of the fabric of our community because we actually believe that they can contribute to our economy in an effective way.

The other thing that we want to emphasize is for those who have an ambition to start a business, entrepreneurs, young people who have gotten college degrees or advanced degrees, for us to train them here in the United States and then to send them back to start businesses elsewhere makes absolutely no sense.  The history of many of our biggest businesses is they were started by immigrants who came here seeking opportunity.  And we want to make sure that, both in terms of people who are here doing jobs that other folks may not want to do, but also people who have extraordinary training and can create jobs for all Americans, that we are giving both of those folks opportunities.

      Weeds put roots down in my yard. Should I give them amnesty? Should I feed and water them, even though they came into my yard looking for food and water. Believe me, they don’t assimilate with my grass and live happily along side. They take it over and destroy the lawn.

      Illegals and weeds must go! End of story. Enforce the laws from A to Z. Also, weed your lawn. Your neighbors will love you! ;)

      “President Pander: Statistics Are ‘Deceptive’… Obama Tells Latinos — Don’t Worry We Are Not Actually Deporting More Illegals Than Bush.”

      “You see,” he added, “by refusing to deport illegals we are assuring there will be fewer jobs for citizens, especially black ones.”

      This way he will be able to destroy the country much faster than if he deports those who have entered the country illegally.

      Yes, things are moving along nicely, just as planned.

      Indeed, illegal is illegal period; and if an American were to cross into another country in violation of their immigration laws, deportation may be the least sentence given over to them.

      The other question now is that based on Mr Obama’s statement is this — who is he thus lying to more, the people of America or the Latino community specifically?

      In case all the illegals in this country missed it–the two Americans who walked into Iran just got out of jail after two years of [in their words] torture. They were found guilty of spying and are subject to fines, etc. I’m good with that here, but first we have to start with the corrupt politicians who are letting the illegals take over this country. Oh wait, American jail is too good for them, let’s send them to Iran.

    This story is huge. The admin has been saying for 2 years now that they have done more against illegal Immigration than the previous administration. Now, the Latino‘s picked up on his and Napalitano’s statements and they get upset. Then, Obama takes heat for being against the Latino’s, so he says, we really aren’t stopping this, we are just telling people in this country that we are to get re-elected.
    Just once Obama, tell the truth

I didn’t really care for McCain, and in a moment of weakness, I let myself get all caught up in Obama’s “I’m a uniter, not a divider” lie. Big, big mistake and I apologize. The only good news in all this is my wife voted for McCain to cancel out my vote, bless her heart. I‘m back on the path of righteousness and I won’t stray again. I think a lot of people are having that “what was I thinking?” moment right about now.

    LOVE IT when he goes “off teleprompter” – that is the ONLY TIME we get these nuggets of truth out of this Manchurian President!
    Yep, I said it. There you go.
    obama is a fabrication, and nothing more than a Potemkin Village himself – a front man for those that pull his strings, soros, unions, and other Socialist Democrats like ManBearPig, who seek to ram a “green” agenda down our throats when it is a sheer veil of racketeering.

    He claims to send more troops to the border, but, in reality, they are stationed 80 miles into the country. NOT “on the border”. He uses his henchmen to stop building the border fence. He sits back as our border patrol agents are murdered. He sits back as tens of thousands of Mexicans are murdered by drug cartels who RELY on an open border to sell us their drugs.

    SEAL THE DAMN BORDER ALREADY!
    A sealed border destroys drug cartels overnight.
    Drug lords are CAPITALISTS!
    They will not keep putting time and money into it if there is no profit.
    When you can’t ship drugs to the U.S., there IS NOT PROFIT.

    This will save tens of thousands of Mexican lives.
    This will also clean up Mexican government by removing the impetus for bribery.
    This will save MILLIONS of American Jobs.

    I call upon Mexicans to DEMAND a sealed border…
    It is THEIR FAMILIES who are being murdered, after all!
    Remember, it is Mexico’s border, too.
    They need to assume some responsibility and STAND UP!

    DEMAND A SECURE BORDER, MEXICO !

It’s too easy for them to come here and rob us blind (be it money or benefits) with the greedheads in our govt. who won’t stop them. Our system isn’t broken, but enforcement of it is.
