Obama’s Executive Order Gives Some Illegal Aliens Chance for Legal Status

TNH staff

NEW YORK – President Barack Obama recently issued an executive order that allows people who entered the United States illegally prior to age 16 and are still under age 31 to apply for a deferment of removal (which is the legal term for deportation). The aliens would not achieve legal status, but would be able to renew the deferment every two years

According to Muslim law a son is considered a Muslim if his father was one. So we can thank the idiots in our country for putting such a disgusting person as president. Him and his party sure would make all of our illegal aliens citizens whether they can legal or not. Long may the Democratic Party collapse for the good of our country with their pro Muslim, pro illegal alien ways, Of course they have always been know as the "Tax and Spend P{arty", and this president has proven it time and again.

Any Greek American who votes for Obama for a second term has rocks in their head, IMO.

They fall for it every time. Nevertheless, I hope enough Greek Americans will turn their back on Obama so that Romney is elected. We need a change in Washington DC, and I'm willing to give Romney one term to show he's better than Obama. If he can't show that, I'll be leading the effort to vote HIM out of office in 4 years! We need to start standing on principle and demanding quid pro quo for our support, or forever be identified as dependable doofs by the pols.

Certainly there is a great deal of anti-Obama sentiment, and choosing Romney as the lesser of two evils is not exactly a ringing endorsement. How about mobilizing NOW so that in four years America has a REAL alternative choice - one who might not necessarily win, but enough to make enough of a dent in the election to force the two major parties to wake up and start fielding better candidates.

Believe me Constantinos, I am no ardent supporter of Romney. But Obama has to go, I see NO reason to reelect him. He's been an absolute ZERO on Greek issues and a collosal failure on the US economy. Whoever you decide to support as an alternative, send Barry O back to Illinois. He had his chance and he fumbled it.
