Obama Goes Long on Immigration, GOP Goes Crazy - Esquire

Obama Goes Long on Immigration, GOP Goes Crazy - Esquire

The agony and the ecstasy. And the sound of smashing pumpkins, which is Republican heads exploding. When financial sector screws up and kills the economy, the default mode is to develop a severe immigration problem all of a sudden. Blame the Mexicans. The Republicans will be scrambling this weekend for a new strategy to keep hating on the immigrants, inventing Obama the black socialist Muslim job killer, protecting big oil and Wall street from the teeming masses, and honoring their Norquistan pledge, peddling endless false narrative, while simultaneously appealing to the Latino vote. This on top of intentionally tanking the economy to blame the President and the Democrats, and legislating as many religious and sexist laws as they can cram through. And that's just for starters. Pass the Tums.
