Local immigrant-rights activist Enrique Morones said he was thrilled but shocked to receive a public thank-you from Sen. Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate was launching into his speech Sunday at the National Council of La Raza convention.
Obama, at the podium, had just thanked two top NCLR officials before his speech when he thanked Morones of Border Angels, a group that stocks desert water stations and lobbies intensely for immigrant rights, often with a theatrical flair and a blunt style that has drawn the ire of anti-illegal immigration activists.

Aside from the high-profile shout out, Morones said, he was glad to hear Obama promise during his speech that he would make immigration reform a priority. The candidate promised, among other things, to allow a path to eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrants already living and working here, provided they pay a fine, learn English and wait their turn behind legal residents.

I just can’t believe, no wait….I can believe that liberals and dull uncomprehending folk, would still vote for this person, who praises a Mexican Nationalist fifth columnist operating inside the U.S.

I mis-read this at first, I thought Obama was prasing Morons. Nothing new there.

Anybody who listens to and watches this Enrique Morones when he appears on the O’Reilly factor has to conclude that the man isn’t playing with a full deck, and he’s obviously a “Reconquista” advocate that is as biased as they come.
The more I read about old Obama Hussein, the more I’m getting the impression that he’s right when he says his wife is smarter than he is.

Although McCain wants amnesty, there are HUGE differences between him and Obama on this issue.
And, with enough pressure, he’ll cave on amnesty the way that Bush did.

Obama has made more hollow promises to more “special” groups than the world GDP can handle. How does he propose to pay for all these gifts? Let’s just call it a “whitey tax”, I am sure obama’s camp has looked at myriad tax increases with an eye to hit greedy, rich White people. obama 08/bankruptcy 09

Let’s see the more illegals we get into the country, the more Obama can give amnesty to. The more Obama can give amnesty to, the more Hispanics can vote in elections. The more Hispanics that vote, the less political power Blacks will have. By 2050 Hispanics will outnumber Blacks 2:1 so in effect the Black vote will be cut in half.
Instead of being “sold” down the river by Old Master, Blacks are now being sold, both politically and economically, down the river by their Black leadership.

Another presidential aspirant who, while swearing to uphold our laws, makes a public display of praising immigration lawbreakers. Not hard to figure what an Obama administration would be like, is it?

Obama praising Morones? For what? For being a ethno-supremacist, bigot who hates this country and has worked tirelessly for the government of Mexico via the Institute of Mexicans Abroad and La RAZA to subvert our laws, and gain every possible advantage for illegal alien Mexicans above anyone else including U.S. citizens and other Hispanic Americans? Obama’s staff sure is sloppy when it comes to doing background research on people he’s publicly praising…..but Morones is no different than Wright.

If the polls (close to election day) show this clown has a shot at the presidency it would take an Act of God to keep him from experiencing Bobby Kennedy’s fate…

Will McCain have the guts to bring this up as campaign issue? If not, he deserves to lose.

The meaning of the word “moron” is a small hill, a hillock. However, in some Spanish speaking countries it also means moron or idiot. So, yes, Obama was praising morons.

Path to citizenship = final nail in the coffin for non-latinos to ever break the latino network over entire industries across large portions of the SouthWest. It then becomes institutionalized forever.

Both presidential contenders will be disastrous for the white race. Obama’s view of America isn’t the view most white Americans have. Juan McCain will also work for amnesty.
