As for Kate's comment, I personally think President Obama should now start worrying less about bipartisanship and tell the GOP to go to hell.

"We're telling President Obama to keep your promise, stop the raids, and focus on the legalization of the 12 undocumented immigrants who are contributing much more than they are taking away."</em> Obama doesn't care he's too busy appeasing the powerful, he calls "bipartisanship". I have other names for it but I can't print them here.

Obama doesn’t care he’s too busy appeasing the powerful, he calls “bipartisanship”. I have other names for it but I can’t print them here.

Or maybe they might want to "take on" Asian street gangs. Both have huge numbers of illegal immigrants AND are actually committing real crimes, and pretty horrible ones too. I think that racism is the problem. If not, why aren't these guys doing something about the REAL threats of illegal immigrants? Of course it could also have something to do with the fact that unarmed Mexicans aren't as likely to retaliate as the Russian mob. Like bullies everywhere, they pick on who won't or can't fight back.
