Some of Obama's comments to La Raza:

The system isn't working when a child in a crumbling school graduates without learning to read or doesn't graduate at all. Or when a young person at the top of her class - a young person with so much to offer this country - can't attend a public college.

But don't forget, Obama wants these children who can't read to learn Spanish.

And note the last line and understand the implication - public financing, or a "free" college education to be more specific, paid for by guess who?

The system isn't working when Hispanics are losing their jobs faster than almost anybody else, or working jobs that pay less, and come with fewer benefits than almost anybody else.

Of course the majority of those he's talking about are illegal.

Look, most people don't have anything against someone who wants to come here and do honest work. But how about coming through the front door instead of crawling through the window? Too much to ask?

Instead of this emotional appeal, he ought to be talking about his plan to streamline the process for guest workers to make it easier and legal for those who want to work here to do so.

But instead, he sticks with emotion:

The system isn't working when 12 million people live in hiding, and hundreds of thousands cross our borders illegally each year; when companies hire undocumented immigrants instead of legal citizens to avoid paying overtime or to avoid a union; when communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids - when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel.

So now ICE is terrorizing people? Terrific. Let me ask you - if a president said something like that, what message would you take from it?

That's right, ignore the law, continue to flood the country, the bad guys are the companies which hire you and the government agency which has the job of enforcing our law.

Wonderful.
