Green cards for college grads and military? How do illegals get loans to go to college in the first place? Is Mitt going to pass a law that allows them to obtain loans for school? And with the Iraq war over,and afhgan winding down, will there be a need for illegals in the military?

NitMitt is so covered in bull@!$%#, that you be able to smell him coming from miles away!!!!

If Congress had passed the DREAM Act, instead of playing political football with it to make President Obama lose, then Romney and the GOP wouldn't be in the position they're in today with their low poll numbers within the Latino community. This topic would hardly have made a difference in this year's election if it had passed.

The GOP didn't pass it for strictly political reasons, yet now of course they see it as the president using it for political reasons. They should have passed the bill and be done with it.

So, just as they're doing with health care, the GOP never stop to think how their votes have dire consequences on real human beings.

SeekingSanity

No quesion about President Obama is Numero Uno. The Hispanics can see thru Mitt's. He is a grande phony.

Latino voter enthusiasm, a key indicator for Obama, trending up

Perhaps most significantly, when Latino voters in the five states were asked how
they felt about voting in this year's presidential election, 60% of the poll
respondents described themselves as "very enthusiastic."

Obama's lead among Latino registered voters in Florida was 16 percentage points
-- 53% to 37% -- similar to the results of another statewide poll this week from
Quinnipiac University, which also found increased enthusiasm among Latinos.


In the other states surveyed, Latino voters favored Obama over Romney in Colorado
by 70% to 22%, and in Nevada by 69% to 20%. In Virginia, where they make up just
5% of the electorate, Obama had a 59%-28% lead over Romney among Latino voters

bullet stopper

Look at the laws of California for example to learn the answer to your question. Illegal children are able to receive student loans from the state at rates much lower than what a LEGAL child must pay. The illegal child also receives better acceptance ability than the LEGAL child. This has been provided by those dysfunctional Democrats who control the State government. Now that should make you libs 'warm and fuzzy'

What makes me warm and fuzzy is our President did the humanistic, right, thing since the Repubs obstructed his "Dream Act"

Also, the enthusiasm level Latinos have for him. Latinos can see Mitt is lying phony.

Man this dude is hard up for some cash. Spending more than you take in will do that to you. From the Obama/biden 2012 website:

Register with Obama 2012

Got a special milestone or event coming up?

Instead of another gift card you’ll forget to use, ask your friends and family for something that will go a little further: a donation to Obama for America. Register your next celebration—whether it’s a birthday, bar or bat mitzvah, wedding, or anniversary—with the Obama campaign. It’s a great way to show your support for a cause that’s important to you on your big day.

What's the big deal? The Obama store has always come up with cool stuff to attract donations - you know, small donations, from actual real people? I think this is a great idea. If I had a birthday coming up, I'd much rather have people donate to something I believe in than to buy me more dust-collectors or cop out with a gift card to a store I may never shop at. And if I were sick, I'd rather have people spend their money on something more worthwhile and longer-lasting than flowers and moldy fruit baskets.

Geez, it's Friday, dude - lighten up!

      Let's see - what has he done since 2001 when he left Bain? Oh yes, he was governor of MA from 2003 to 2007 - no one could stand him so he didn't run for re-election.

      That is the height of hypocrisy, claiming Democrats are divisive.

      What was Reagan's big "unifying" moment? When he went to the site of a race riot in Philadelphia and gave a speech saying he agreed with "states rights" (wink wink) to fire up his base?

      The Republican agenda has been to "divide and conquer" - just ask Scott Walker.

      Republicans have pitted private workers against public workers by creating resentment against exagerated benefits and pensions.

      They have pitted the middle-class against the poor by claiming those on government assistance are lazy and stealing their money.

      They pit the young against the old by claiming we can't pay for Social Security and Medicare.

      The pit religious against gays with their anti-Gay Marriage agenda.

      Republicans have been fanning the flames of racism since before Reagan with talk of "state rights", "welfare queens" and "taking back OUR country".

      The Republican party is by far the most divisive force in our country today.

      Amy B Portland, you are a typical libtard. Republicans are anti-immigrant? Maybe we are anti-illegal immigrant, is there a difference? Why would Americans put up with any race of people coming over our boarders and demanding citizenship? What do we owe these people, except for expultion? Please tell why we should except them? America leads the world in LEGAL immimgrants at over 1 MILLION a year, why in the hell does the latino population expect favors? And Seeking Sanity, One could easily argue that the last 3 and 1/2 years of Obama has done nothing for America unless you consider a 500,000 net job loss under his Presidency a good thing!

        Every Single Poll out there, says America wants to continue President Obamas Economic Vision, but because the POTUS only has a slight LEAD on that question, the Carnival Barkers try Desparately to Give Malibu Mitt a legup(Americas just Not into Malibu Mitt, no matter how Hard yall try).

        4.3 Million Jobs brought back into a Disastrous Econmy from 3 years ago is'nt just a Piece of Cake, it's a 7 Course dinner with Appitizers, a Bottle of Absolute & then the Whole CAKE for dessert!

        But do keep trying Americas Carnival Barkers, it's somewhat Entertaining watching yall try to make Malibu Mitt into a Contender.

        Obama's EPA regulators hate American Oil Companies. New EPA regulations can be maddening, but none more so than a current one that demands oil refiners use millions of gallons of a substance, cellulosic ethanol, that does not exist.

        "And Tom Pyle of the Institute of Energy Research says, "the cellulosic biofuel program is the embodiment of government gone wild."

        "None, not one drop of cellulosic ethanol has been produced commercially. It's a phantom fuel," says Pyle. "It doesn't exist in the market place."

        And Charles Drevna adds, "forcing us to use a product that doesn't exist, they might as well tell us to use unicorns."

        And yet, they still have to pay heafty fines for failure to use a product that does not exist!!!

        Just one more Leftist Green Failure !!!

        However, the Obama Administration has spent billions on bankrupt green companies to produce a product that does not exist and almost all of those fake green companies are donors to Obama's Campaign -

He co-sponsored the START 2.0 Act, legislation that would offer immigrants with advanced degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics a path to citizenship in May. And he was expected to introduce his own version of the Dream Act which targets young people, but will not offer them a path to citizenship.

According to the AFDC website and the Department of Energy:" The incentive is allowed as a credit against the producer's income tax liability. Under current law, only qualified fuel produced in the U.S. between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2012, for use in the United States may be eligible."

I am an Independent and never have voted a straight party ticket. My father was a long time GM union employee who was a Democrat and changed party affliliation to Republican. He was one of the most moral, fair-minded, non-judgemental persons I have known. Who are you to judge other people? I thought real Christian's didn't do that.

            Latinos you are being used for Election purposes only by Obama. Open your eyes its been sitting on his desk for a couple of years. He just did the same Election ploy with the gay/lesbians, all for Votes.
            This will just be one more failed policy of the Obama Administration. You can count on that. I did not vote for a, Dictator I thought I was voting for a President who vowed to uphold our Constituation.
            He fooled me in 2008, but I will not be fooled for 2012,

            So you post that, but would then vote for someone who not only outsourced jobs to India while governor of MA, but supported and FUNDED companies who specialized in outsourcing American jobs to China?

              The Washington Post Fact Checker

              Four Pinocchios for Obama’s newest anti-Romney ad

              Obama campaign apparently loves to ding former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with the charge of “outsourcing.” On several occasions, we have faulted the campaign for its claims, apparently to little avail.

              Now, all of the claims have been combined in one 30-second ad, with the added incendiary charge that Romney was a “corporate raider.”

              When you look it up for yourself and realize that it is true, will it make a difference to you?

              Of course not, Romney is rich so he must be right.

              But he got rich getting his share no matter the outcome of the companies involved. Feast or famine for everybody else, he got his. Will he do the same to America?

              Romney vetoed legislation while governor of MA that would have prevented the outsourcng of state work to other countries

              The Democratic-controlled Massachusetts legislature sent Romney a budget with an amendment that "would prohibit Massachusetts from contracting with companies that ‘outsource’ the state's work to other countries,".....Ultimately, Romney vetoed the measure....At the time Massachusetts had a $160,000 a month contract with Citigroup to process debit cards for food stamps. Citigroup outsourced its customer service call center to a facility in India.

              www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/jun/11/barack-obama/obama-ad-says-romney-outsourced-massachusetts-jobs/

              So Romney vetoed legislation that led to Citigroup outsourcing their work for MA to a call center in India.

              FACTS.

              Regarding the outsourcing claims, we have frowned on these before. The Obama campaign rests its case on three examples of Bain-controlled companies sending jobs overseas. But only one of the examples — involving Holson Burns Group — took place when Romney was actively managing Bain Capital.

              Regarding the other claims, concerning Canadian electronics maker SMTC Manufacturing and customer service firm Modus Media, the Obama campaign tries to take advantage of a gray area in which Romney had stepped down from Bain — to manage the Salt Lake City Olympics — but had not sold his shares in the firm. We had previously given the Obama campaign Three Pinocchios for such tactics.

              The Modus Media case is also not an example of shipping jobs overseas. The company closed one plant in California and transferred the jobs to North Carolina, Washington and Utah. At the same time, it opened an unrelated plant in Mexico. The Obama campaign once trumpeted the fact that we had dinged a conservative Super PAC for making the same leap in logic.

              The claim that Romney outsourced jobs as governor is equally overblown.

              What campaign morons geniuses. Obama has a registry on his website that you can sign up for so that your "friends" know what is important to you. Instead of gifts, they can give to the Obama campaign in your name. OMG. Now that is desperation.

              Birthday gift, nah, give it to Obama for me

              Graduation gift, nah give it to Obama for me

              My deceased husband/wife would wish instead of flowers you give it to Obama for me.

              Now that is going to be a big boost to his funds........I think not.

                It isn't pandering to a special group (gays, latinos, union members) if you actually believe in their cause. I, personally, believe in the importance of unions to establish a living wage for the working man/woman, I believe in the validity of young immigrants being given clemency rather than being held responsible for something their parents have done. I believe that straight or gay, human beings deserve to be able to love, to marry, to create families, and to be treated with dignity and respect for their rights. I'm not pandering to anyone. It is what I believe and what I fight for. If you think that is pandering, then maybe it is because you cannot imagine doing the right thing unless there is some big pay-off for you. That is unbelievably sad.
