When questioned by an illegal alien student today who showed him a deportation letter, President Barack Obama said he did not want to deport illegal alien students like the one who questioned him, he wanted them to succeed.
The exchange came during a town hall event sponsored by the Spanish-language television network Univision at a Washington, D.C., school. An illegal alien student, who appeared via Skype, asked: “My question for the president is, why [is the government] saying that deportations have stopped or the detention of many students like me, why is it that we are still receiving deportation letters like this one?”
Obama answered, “We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community.
“And for a young person like that young woman that we just spoke to who’s going to school, doing all the right things, we want them to succeed," Obama said.

ReplyDeleteYou guys really know all about this issue, don't ya?
ReplyDeleteHow many more family member does this man have? Here's an idea,why don't we give them this country (they already have most of it)and we move to their country. Then see how fast they go back. If they were able to take care of them self, to begin with they would not be here. So no matter where the Americans are so will be the ones who want us to take care of them and forget about following our laws. NO I would not give up this country, but it seems like our leaders have. So how do we vote for anyone when they all lie. They all say what we want to hear and then forget what they have said when they get into office. Mr. A, I not sure how to vote anymore or if I should.
