The Hispanic community is very upset with Obama over said choices, as recent polls reveal and they are not backing him in the 2012 election as a result. Immigrants, much like natural born American citizens, have contributed much to America. Furthermore, at the end of the day, this world and every country in it belongs to God.
88-year-old Zimbabwean, Lydia Werritt is being deported from Britain, where she has lived for several years, for failing to renew her visa. Werrit, fled Zimbabwe from President Mugabe’s violent henchmen, who seized her farm and reportedly threatened her very life.
Many members of the public, including the Judiciary Report, are beseeching the British government not to deport her. That’s not what Britain is about. By all means, deport the violent criminals, but not a granny who fled her homeland for safety reasons after being persecuted.
I am well aware Britain has experienced a massive swell in immigration, but an elderly woman who could face death must be the exception to deportation rules, as her very life is on the line. The British government has openly denounced the violence associated with Mugabe administration. To send her back would be to unintentionally comply with it. You’re better than that.
In the October 19, 2011, article entitled "The Obama Administration Has Deported A Record Number Of Immigrants In 2011" the Judiciary Report stated, "Many illegal immigrants are also vital to the farming, construction, food and hospitality industries in America, representing billions of dollars to said sectors of business. Therefore, what the Obama Administration has done via these deportations is also financially unsound."
Two days later, on October 21, 2011, the site's claims have been proven true, as a number of farmers in the U.S. state of Alabama have come forward to denounce the state's immigration law, as scaring immigrants away and costing them a lot of money in revenue (during a financial depression, of all times).
The above posted Associated Press video features people in the agriculture industry stating, "Few Americans take immigrants' jobs in Alabama" and it is damaging the farming industry. The same pattern is repeating itself in each and every state the Obama Administration deported a record number of 400,000 immigrants, who have done jobs many Americans do not want to do.
The video reveals many Americans find the field work too taxing and either quit or do not return to the farm after lunch. Another farmer stated the Americans that attempted to do the jobs immigrants did on his farm, were not physically fit enough and did not have the mental grit to endure such strenuous labor in the fields all day.
Barack Obama's administration has deported a record 400,000 people for the year
I'm going to be honest, I am a legal immigrant, always have been, I don't think I'm better than anyone, but I always take my hat off to people, immigrant to the States or American or world citizen in their respective nations, for doing farm work and construction jobs, as it is physically grueling.
I remember once I did the majority of the work renovating an old home we'd bought and it was like a full time job. Some nights I was so tired after working on the house, I would fall asleep on the living room floor. Then, there was the gardening aspect of restoring an out of control set of gardens on four sides of the house, that needed cutting, pruning, new plants, stone borders, digging a water feature and maintenance, all of which would wear me out in the hot southern sun (Florida).
So once again, I commend people that are able to do farming and construction work, as what I experienced for a few months is a mere fraction of what they do 5-6 days a week, year after year. To deport someone for seeking a better life is wrong. Not to mention, they are playing a vital role in the economy. They don't just come to America and get loads of benefits and begin living off the state. It does not work that way. They deserve a chance to work and a path to citizenship.
The Democrats are usually the U.S. political party most sympathetic in pushing for an avenue for illegal immigrants to become lawful residents and then citizens of the United States of America. However, under the Obama Administration, that is not the case. President Obama has deported a record 400,000 people in one year (never mind his aunt and uncle have been receiving a free pass to stay in America, though they are illegal immigrants).
Former Presidents Bill Clinton (Democrat) and Ronald Reagan (Republican) held amnesties, allowing illegal immigrants in America a path to U.S. citizenship. This was the humane thing to do, rather than resorting to deportation. President Obama is currently courting the Hispanic vote in America (50,000,000 people) and that of others who are Caribbean-American, which accounts for millions more votes (Jamaicans, Haitians, Bahamians, Trinidadians and others from the region).
Setting this precedent of deporting 400,000 people in 2011 (and the year is not even over) most of them Hispanics, will not help Obama with the vote in 2012. Legal immigrants usually dislike it when illegal immigrants are deported for seeking a better life.
Many illegal immigrants are also vital to the farming, construction, food and hospitality industries in America, representing billions of dollars to said sectors of business. Therefore, what the Obama Administration has done via these deportations is also financially unsound.
