I'm gonna take a WAG and say the post was sarcasm/humor.

Some what correct. I find it funny how some use this article to slam Obama yet say nothing of the people who hire illegals. Small businessman typically are Republican or support Republicans yet they get a pass despite supporting organizations like the Chamber of Commerce which strongly opposes e-verify or any other proposals to ensure employers hire only legal workers.

While about 75% of illegals do cross over from Mexico the other 25% arrive "legally" at airports and ports and simply don't leave. In order to really attack the illegal issue requires a multi-pronged approach starting with a requirement that all employees be screened using e-verify, coupled with heavy fines for failure to do so. Strong border enforcement is also needed as are workplace verification inspections.

You have an axe to grind, obviously. King Obama lovers use this diversionary tactic so much that it's become a standing joke.

King Obama fights against Mexican Illegals being caught, prosecuted and sent packing because he sees a windfall of illegal votes coming his way in the upcoming election if he can pander to the large Mexican population already here because of past Presidential amnesty programs. Free votes are at his fingertips and, along with his criminal-in-chief racist sidekick Eric Holder, he is creatively finding ways to get those illegal votes. He is also dead set against using photo ID because this would weed out ACORN-like fraudulent voter registration across the country. Of course, he uses the race card continuously against Arizona's governor and citizens trying to stop illegal voter registration. Criminal is his Name, Racism is his game.

So along come King Obama knee-jerk Apologists like you who immediately divert our eyes from King Obama's Magic Show and point to the business people without scruples. This has been known forever and is old hat.

But you get hot beneath the collar when anyone points to the bigger crime being committed by the criminal Community Organizer in the White House.

It won't work, dood.

Not an Obama supporter nor did I ever vote for him. As a independent moderate I simply see both sides in an equal light and base my comments on simple facts not political hate.

You say Obama is pandering to illegals - so I guess Reagan did the same when he granted amnesty in 1986 to millions. And that means those illegals are loyal to Republicans - right?

As for illegals voting, the numbers of "claimed" illegal voters is grossly overblown. Over a year ago our Republican governor, Suzanna Martinez thought so too. She had her Secretary of State look into the matter. The Secretary even stated she found several thousand suspect voters on the rolls and would investigate further. What did the final report on the investigation reveal: a couple of illegal voters. Keep in mind, my state issues drivers licenses to illegals, one of only two states that does. Just so we're clear, I voted for our governor, I support IDs for voting and I'm opposed to issuing illegals receiving state driver licenses.

You say Obama is doing nothing about illegals; when was the last time you went through a border patrol checkpoint? More border patrol agents along the border than ever before, same for fencing.

You call me an apologist yet you say nothing against the practice of allowing Americans to hire illegals. And that's "the" problem. Look around America and you will find illegals working in most every motel, hotel, restaurant, construction trade business, nursing home, slaughter house, landscape business and in many homes and farms. Yet, little is done to those who do the hiring. And it is fact that the Chamber of Commerce opposes any system to verify employment eligibility.

The blame for immigration issues falls squarely on both parties. They both abet the real problem and give a pass to businesses, who BTW, want illegal labor.

Mexico has a army? I guess Mexico and Israel miss the boat to Iraq and Afghanistan.

mexico does not get involved in anybody else's war withiout there first being an official declaration of war.

but they have extended their aid and presence to others in need.

The Mexican Military has traveled mainly to Central American countries to aid in disaster relief, and, most recently, to Indonesia after the tsunami disaster; only military support personnel, not combat forces. This includes the relief efforts in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. This was the first time the Mexican Army officially entered United States territory since the Mexican-American war and the first time the United States had allowed a foreign military force on its soil.[5] Mexican relief efforts were concentrated in Texas and New Orleans.
