Bernie criticized Hillary for this:
Hillary has lied and flip flopped about almost every issue.
Can anyone trust anything she says?
The Obama administrations plan to deport hundreds of families could scramble the politics of immigration heading into the 2016 election.
Democrats are feeling bullish about their prospects with Hispanic voters given the tough rhetoric coming from GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and other Republican candidates.
President Obama won nearly 70 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012, and Democrats believe Hillary Clinton could improve on that number if Republicans continue their hostile rhetoric over illegal immigration.
As a result, the Department of Homeland Securitys planned campaign to aggressively deport hundreds of immigrant families fleeing violence in Central America is causing concern on the left for reasons of both politics and policy.
As of this moment, the distinction between Democrats and Republicans has never been clearer, said Frank Sharry, executive director of the immigrant-rights group America's Voice. That distinction could clearly be blurred if they start raiding young mothers who have fled violence.
Sharry said it should be embarrassing for the administration that Trump is taking credit for the plan, adding, "That should make them think two or three times about following through."
The Washington Post reported last week that federal immigration officials are readying a series of raids that could begin as soon as January, the first major effort to remove Central American families who flocked to the U.S. during last years migrant crisis.

Far From Home:
Inside the many, many problems of the immigration court system
Humiliation, indignation, frustration and resignation prevail.
And, according to Politico, of the 1542 deportation orders issued, 94 percent of the defendants were minors with no lawyer.
.....immigration reform advocates deride the (immigration) court system as little more than conveyor belts to deportation.
Of all things, the Obama administration also decided to combat immigration by ordering the detention of minors on the basis of national security. Calling on Matter of D-J, an immigration decision written two years after 9/11, officials argued that children crossing the border posed as a threat to state security by virtue of their illegal entries, and as such, detaining them was necessary in deterring an active migration network. Little wonder that some immigration reform advocates deride the court system as little more than conveyor belts to deportation.

(23,730 posts)2. she wants to be both DREAM-Obama and deportation-Obama, to have it all ways
more prosaically, she thinks that by defining herself as the abuelita and BernieBros as the spirit of Los Angeles 1871 she can do whatever she wants to "the Latino vote"
