President Obama blasted the ongoing debate surrounding illegal immigrants in the United States, criticizing Republicans for being “anti-American” for suggesting that the laws should be enforced.

Obama made his remarks while visiting a High School in Des Moines, Iowa, hosting a town hall to discuss the importance of a college education.

“This whole anti-immigrant sentiment that’s out there in our politics right now is contrary to who we are,” he said. “Because unless you’re Native American, your family came from someplace else.”

Obama ridiculed the notion that immigration to America was ever orderly and rigidly enforced.

“Don’t pretend that somehow a hundred years ago the immigration was all smooth and strict — that’s not how it worked,” he said, pointing out that millions of immigrants arrived from all around the world. “It wasn’t some orderly process, where all the rules applied and all the rules were strict, and ‘I came the right way.’”

Criticizing illegal immigrants, he explained, was contrary to the American way of life. “That’s not who we are,” he insisted.

Illegal immigrants, he suggested, should be registered and pay a fine for their illegal actions so they could “get right with the law.”

Obama reminded the crowd that children who were brought by their parents at a young age were Americans “by every other criteria except for a piece of paper” and should be welcomed by their peers. He encouraged illegal immigrants to apply for federal loan programs anyway, because some states or universities might qualify them for private funding.

“When I hear folks talkin’ as if somehow these kids are different than my kids or less worthy in the eyes of God, that somehow that they are less worthy of our respect and consideration and care, I think that’s un-American,” he said. “I don’t believe that, I think it is wrong and I think we should do better, because that’s how America was made.”

I heard he was banned... 😟

He's Full of Sh*t....most everyone already knows this, add to that he's a consistent and disgusting liar who obtained office by corrupting the election process using ACORN ( not to say he's the first, just the most recent and most blatant )
The man is just NOT fond of our laws he doesn't ( as a politician ) agree with or don't support Democratic voting it's a shame more states didn't get behind Jan Brewer in her attempt to stop the purge and document the Illegal Invaders that are already here. And did anyone pick up on the highlighted area??

Not children born here.....but those Illegally brought here!!!!!

Will we impeach him now..?? 😕

The usual hatred and lies we have come to expect from you.

Illegal immigrants do the jobs that Democrats won't do. We need them.

Well I guess that proves it.

For coming?

Perv.

Democrats work?

I knew you'd come around..... 👍

Boy it takes a while to get teedubya to come around.

My arms are tired.

Does this mean immigrants like Ted Cruz should be allowed to stay?

[-(

if he came 'the right way' I guess..... but that hasn't been determined yet... should come out in the trial... 😟

Drafter always comes the wrong way.... then he cries. He is the only gay homophobe I know....

😠

Does no one in the far-right blogosphere ever stop to think that IF he "came the right way" there would be the requisite pile of documentation? If that quote is even accurate, then he's just trolling the far right for sh$ts and giggles at this point.

Ted Cruise is an anchor baby and isn't eligible for POTUS

he had all those documents destroyed and his gay lovers shot... 😟



either that or he came in the wrong way and just lied.... 🤔

Awww.... poor Drafter. You recovered tho, right?

shouldn't you be making your girlfriend some chiken soup..?? 🤐
