Dick Morris has some interesting analysis about Obama and the illegal immigration debate: "When Obama could have passed comprehensive immigration reform – when he still had 60 Senate Democrats – he didn’t lift a finger to push it. Now that he can’t pass it – it is too late in the year, he doesn’t have 60 votes, and many Democrats will defect – he aggressively pushes it in a national speech.
The opportunism and hypocrisy of his attempt to manipulate America’s Latinos into forgetting his previous inaction is transparent and obvious. Polls show him losing Hispanics due to high and continuing unemployment and losing Congressional seats in the bargain, so Obama has dug up the immigration proposals of former President George W. Bush, dusted them off, and made them his own. He knows it won’t pass. But he hopes that it will reignite Latino enthusiasm for his failing presidency and anger at Republicans for frustrating immigration reform."....The cynicism of Obama in kindling hopes for amnesty only to see them certainly dashed is breathtaking. And his pushing the false choice of amnesty — when eliminating the jobs that fuel illegal immigration is a readily available solution – is revolting.
He doesn’t want a law. He wants a fight and he wants the votes that a fight may bring him. It is Chicago polarizing politics at its very worst."

Basically, Morris is saying that Obama is using Hispanics in order to make the GOP look bad. Obama wouldn't be the first politician to use a racial or ethnic group to play politics. Hell, look how the Democrats use Blacks and Native Americans over the many years and look which ethnic groups have the highest poverty rate.
So, Obama, Reid and Pelosi are going to try for immigration reform that includes amnesty for the illegals already here. They could have done it earlier, when the Dem's had a filibuster proof Senate, but they shoved the Hispanics under the bus. They know they won't win because a bunch of Democrats will not support them, but Obama, Reid and Pelosi don't care about that. As long as they can throw Hispanics under the bus for political fains, they don't care.

I thought you may be interested in a recent post by Chris Hansen. I understand from him that his family shares his same self proclaimed (bigoted) ideology.

You mean like the US government does to people they claim, without a trial, are enemy combatants and shipped off to GITMO?
I am a strong supporter of Operation Wet Back back in Eisenhower days. I support harassing known illegal aliens.
Medicare is not insurance. It cannot be our it would be unconstitutional. It is welfare just like unemployment or Aid to Dependent Children. You have no contract. Congress can eliminate Medicare or Medicaid or Social Security with a single vote.
You are owed nothing. You are not entitled unless Congress says so. Welfare used to be called poor relief until about 1907 AD. It is Socialism. It is Charity at the point of a gun and is anti-Christ
I don't know what this has to do with the price of tea in China or who Chris Hansen is. But some of the parts, I agree with.
