Well, it’s progress. It’s
too little, too late, and speaks volumes about the bizarre
priorities of Barack Obama, but it’s a good sign that he is,
reports Politico, rethinking his deportation
policy:
“The president emphasized his deep concern about the pain too
many families feel from the separation that comes from our broken
immigration system,” the White House said [after a meeting with
immigration-rights groups]….Pressure began to build on Obama to do something about
deportations — which activists say will number 2 million by early
April — when a heckler interrupted the president at an event in San
Francisco in November. Since then, pressure to stop deportations
went mainstream within the Latino community, with the National
Council of La Raza, the nation’s largest Latino group, dubbing
Obama the “deporter-in-chief” last week.
As we’ve long noted here, Obama is indeed the
“deporter-in-chief.” He booted 1 million
just three years into his first term while George W. Bush only
managed to send 1.5 million packing in eight years! As Obama
breathes the rarefied air of a record-setter – air that is
doubtless blessedly free of the scent of greasy frijoles and the
awful chatter of whatever language Mexicans speak ! (how can Obama,
who speaks no foreign language, be sure what it is?) – it’s great
news that he’s rethinking whether it’s a good idea to destroy
families, hurt the economy, and diminish the reputation of America
as a destination for the world’s wretched refuse.
