President Obama did not do that. He lowered the illegal crossings. He put record number of boots on the ground on our borders. He also deported more people than anybody before him. He won the votes because folks know he represents their interests, not the bankers and wall street. Mr. Romney was telling folks that people should self deport.......yep........a solution.

The Obama economy has given potential illegals pause about coming in and caused many others to leave. BTW, BHO is very much a friend of Wall Street and Bankers....all politicians are....

He and his brother knew that the future of the Republican Party was with conservative catholic Hispanic voters. He was right then, and he would be right today. It is the frothing crazies which make people with brown skin something bad.....hell....people are people......I have some Irish....and I have seen signs in Boston which said no Irish allowed. People throughout history have tried to divide, but in the end this great country has been a melting pot of the best and brightest.....that and a little divine intervention......but when some folks figure they can talk to God directly, or that somebody with a shade darker skin is inferior, or does not belong in America.....that is a formula for failure.

Republicans can win with simple respect for people who share their values.....the disrespect cannot be hidden......when folks actually debate self deportation............the road will be long, but Hispanics could easily vote 50% Republican in 2016 with candidates who are genuine, honest, and caring.......the average hispanic family I have know have Republican values.

Part of the Republicans' problem with Hispanics is they've brainwashed their base about this group to the point that, as we see above, many of their supporters think Obama reduced efforts to close the border to illegal crossings. As you point out this is exactly opposite of what his administration did.

More brainwashing consists of making up false information about illegals like they bring in diseases and commit an inordinate number of crimes, etc. etc. so before the party can change its tune they have to send all the ditto heads to re-education camps to purge all the BS out of their brains. This is the payback you get (and that they, in my opinion so richly deserve) for bearing false witness against a whole group of people.

The party that is supposed to be for family values fails the test. Family values should mean that a family can survive on two people working full time jobs but with all the attacks on unions and non-support for raising the minimum wage the R's always come down on the side of big business and corporations making more money. Screw families, they want more profits. With them it is the bottom line first last and always and minority communities see this.
