Everything Obama has done on immigration is eye wash. He hopes to have an amnesty plan to allow 13 million illegal immigrants to vote in the next election. If he succeeds then he's a shoe in. If he really wanted to cut the budget he would enforce immigration laws and tighten security at border. Then stop the flow of cash across the border into Mexico. This would cause many illegals to leave. The drain on our school systems and healthcare facilities would diminish. He should stop social security payments to illegals that haven't paid a dime into it. Stop college scholarships for illegal immigrants and stop federal aid to sanctuary cities.Operation fast and furious was preparation to gain political support for stricter gun laws. Watch for him to tighten gun laws soon. Spending money that we don't have is stupid. The country is all ready fighting two wars and has a huge deficit. Why go into Libya? To get us deeper in debt? He can't justify it because the same thing is happening in Syria and he didn't go in there. Don't tell me that the budget crisis is not his fault. He spent 3 trillion dollars since he has been in office and we still have a 9% unemployment rate. He jokes about his shovel ready projects while people are out of work.
