“The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century,” one American president wrote back in 2006 – and it wasn’t Donald Trump.
The excerpt is from Obama’s 2006 memoir “The Audacity of Hope,” and the full quote has gone viral after commentator Candace Owens posted it to her twitter. The rest of the quote is as follows:
Re: Illegal Immigrants
“…this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers provides some benefits to the economy as a whole —it also threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans & put strains on an already overburdened safety net.”-Barack Obama, Audacity of Hope

It’s a striking reminder of just how off the rails the Democratic Party has gone on the issue of illegal immigration, as Obama’s comment quoted above is hardly the only time he’d spoken out against it.
On 15 December 2005, Barack Obama joined Republican Senator Mel Martinez of Florida at a press conference about immigration reform, during which Obama said that “We all agree on the need to better secure the border and to punish employers who choose to hire illegal immigrants. We are a generous and welcoming people, here in the United States, but those who enter the country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States, undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”
And in 2009 as President, Obama spoke out against amnesty as a “free ride,” and demanding that any compromise to allow illegals to become citizens would require massive fines, a requirement that they speak English and a background check.
Others before the Trump era, including Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, and many others, spoke out against illegal immigration. It’s truly bizarre that illegal immigration is the issue they’ve chosen to oppose Donald Trump on most fervently, given that they know it was previously a bipartisan issue, but that could be because it’s the Party’s members that are changing ideologically.
The average Democrat has moved extremely far to the Left ideologically in recent years, and Democrat politicians could simply be adopting insane positions like support for illegal immigration to cater to that base. Luckily for the average Republican, such policies don’t poll well with Independents, which will put a significant drag on Democrats chances in winning elections come to the midterms.
Obama, the most ego maniac person, He does not even show compassion to the black community who are not millionaires. He rose from poverty in Kenya, just like the rest of us but he does not want to be reminded of his poverty in the past. God might take away all the wealth away from them.
OBAMA HAS BEEN INDICTED FOR TREASON…………..GET HIM TO JAIL ASAP> KEEP HIM FROM MORONIC STRATEMENTS>
Our first “Anti-America” President. Glen Beck claimed Obie was and is a Communist, I agree.
Obama . . .Obama? The name rings a bell . . . but hard to remember . . .? Seems there was a kid named Barry Soetoro that used that name back and forth from Kenya to Hawaii to somewhere in Asia and then . . . Illinois . . .?
Obama, the Clintons are hypocrites.
Well, yeah, but THAT was before they drove working class voters–black AND WHITE–and millions of OTHERS into the arms of the Republicans with their Leftist LOONERY. Having alienated most of their traditional voter base, the conniving COMMUCRATS were FORCED to start PANDERING to illegals, refujuhadis, the “free stuff” crowd, clueless snowflakes, and anybody ELSE they thought would be dumb or DESPERATE enough to vote for them, in an attempt to build themselves a NEW voter base of the illegal, the ignorant, and the MALIGNANT.
Ovomit sucks
