Obama Fails to Obtain Immigration Reform, Deports 1.2 Million Hispanics & Lies to Cover-up Failure
To obtain Hispanic support in the 2008 presidential election, Obama promised Immigration Reform in the first year of his presidency but Obama failed to make good on his promise. In the second year of Obama’s term, when Democrats still had a majority in Congress, Obama again failed. Obama then proceeded to deport 1,200,000 undocumented Hispanics and lied he had no alternative but to uphold the law. Then seeing the handwriting on the wall ― HISPANIC VOTES ARE REQUIRED TO WIN RE-ELECTION ― Obama announced only immigrant criminals would be deported but deportations of non-criminal Hispanic immigrants continue. With complete failure to deliver Immigration Reform as promised and over 1,200,000 Hispanics deported leaving behind devastated American families, there is no Mexican American enthusiasm to vote for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2012 presidential election. Without Mexican American votes, Obama will not win re-election.
Obama's lack of leadership and failure to make good on promises to deliver Immigration Reform and deportations exceeding 1,200,000 Hispanics, are the number one issue for America's Hispanics.
There is a long litany of other failures that have caused the demise of the United States of America. Hispanic News, Latino News, New Mexico News, Solidarity USA, and Jon Garrido National News have begun to identify these failures to build consensus of all Americans to end the Obama presidency and his White House staff for failing to provide fiduciary leadership for all Americans. Each website has a section, "Jon Garrido National News Accuses Obama of Betraying America to Fulfill His Muslim Father’s Dream" that documents Obama's failed presidency.

On December 12, 2011, the United States Supreme Court agreed to decide the constitutionality of Arizona’s S.B. 1070. Justice Elena Kagan, who served as Solicitor General when the Arizona law was challenged in the lower courts, will abstain from ruling. The loss of Kagan significantly increases the probability of an affirmative vote to uphold Arizona S.B. 1070 making Arizona S.B. 1070 the law of the land.
With this forthcoming United States Supreme Court ruling, Immigration Reform becomes crucial to the welfare and future growth of the Hispanic community in America. We all know Obama is a gigantic failure to obtain Immigration Reform. We all know Obama has deported 1,200,000 Hispanics and lied when said he had no choice.
If Obama is re-elected, Immigration Reform will never be achieved and another 3,000,000 Hispanics will be deported. If a Democrat other than Obama, or a Republican can achieve Immigration Reform, we will endorse this person for Immigration Reform is our priority ― not party loyalty but not any Immigration Reform is acceptable. Only Immigration Reform that advances and protects the civil rights of all Hispanics living in America bringing an end to all deportations.
On January 2, 2012, Hispanic News asked Hispanic American voters in November 2012, not to vote for Obama for President of the United States.
U.S. Policy for Cubans is Unqualified Welcome but Not for Mexicans, Central & South Americans
SANTA FE, NM (By Jon Garrido) November 6, 2011 ― According to The U.S. Census Bureau, a 2010 Census brief on the nation's Hispanic population shows the Hispanic population increased by 15.2 million between 2000 and 2010 and accounted for more than half of the total U.S. population increase of 27.3 million.
Between 2000 and 2010, the Hispanic population grew by 43 percent, or four times the nation's 9.7 percent growth rate. Of Mexican, Puerto Rican or Cuban origin in the 2010 Census, Mexican origin was the largest group, representing 63 percent of the total U.S. Hispanic population — up from 58 percent in 2000. This group increased by 54 percent and saw the largest numeric change (11.2 million), growing from 20.6 million in 2000 to 31.8 million in 2010. Mexicans accounted for about three-fourths of the 15.2 million increase in the total Hispanic population between 2000 and 2010 The Mexican origin population represented the largest Hispanic group in 40 states, with more than half of these states in the South and West regions of the country, along with two states in the Northeast and all 12 states in the Midwest. Puerto Ricans, the second largest group, comprised 9 percent of the Hispanic population in 2010 — down from 10 percent in 2000. The Puerto Rican population grew by 36 percent, increasing from 3.4 million to 4.6 million. Puerto Ricans were the largest Hispanic group in six of the nine states in the Northeast and in one western state — Hawaii, with a population of 44,000. The Cuban origin population increased by 44 percent, growing from 1.2 million in 2000 to 1.8 million in 2010. Cubans made up approximately 4 percent of the total Hispanic population in both the 2000 and 2010 Censuses and were the largest Hispanic origin group in Florida in 2010 with a population of 1.2 million. Since 2000, three detailed Hispanic origin groups surpassed a population of 1 million: Salvadoran (1.6 million), Dominican (1.4 million) and Guatemalan (1.0 million). The Hispanic population grew in every region of the United States between 2000 and 2010, and most significantly in the South and Midwest. The South saw a 57 percent increase in its Hispanic population, which was four times the growth of the total population in the South (14 percent). Significant growth also occurred in the Midwest, where the Hispanic population grew by 49 percent. This was more than 12 times the growth of the total population in the Midwest (4 percent). While the Hispanic population grew at a slower rate in the West and Northeast, the regions still saw significant growth between 2000 and 2010. The Hispanic population grew by 34 percent in the West, which was more than twice the growth of the total population in the West (14 percent). The Northeast's Hispanic population grew by 33 percent, or 10 times the growth of the total population in the Northeast (3 percent). More than half of the Hispanic population in the United States resided in just three states: California, Texas and Florida. In 2010, 37.6 million, or 75 percent, of Hispanics lived in the eight states with Hispanic populations of 1 million or more: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Arizona, New Jersey and Colorado. Hispanics in California accounted for 28 percent (14.0 million) of the total Hispanic population, while the Hispanic population in Texas accounted for 19 percent (9.5 million). Hispanics in Florida accounted for 8 percent (4.2 million) of the U.S. Hispanic population. The Hispanic population experienced growth between 2000 and 2010 in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In eight states in the South (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee) and in South Dakota, the Hispanic population more than doubled in size between 2000 and 2010. Even with this large growth rate, the percentage of Hispanics in 2010 in each of these states remained less than 9 percent, far below the national level of 16 percent. Hispanics in New Mexico comprised 46 percent of the total state population, the highest proportion for any state. Hispanics were 16 percent or more of the state population (matching or exceeding the national level) in eight other states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Texas. The country’s Hispanic voters most of whom are Mexican American and have immigrant friends or ancestors do have access to virtually instant legal status now granted to Cubans who make it into the United States. According to U.S. Immigration Support given the closeness of Cuba to the United States (90 miles) — Cuba, both geographical and, before the 1959 revolution, economic — it is no surprise there has always been movement of people between the countries. (Closeness of Mexico to the United States — less than one inch, the width of a line drawn in the sand). The 1910 census showed there were officially 15,133 Cubans living in the United States, and a report on immigration to Congress at the time included data on 44,211 Cubans.

Cuban Immigration to the United States
The existence and size of the Cuban community in the United States is a result of both "push" and "pull" factors. The revolutionary government's inflexible attitude toward dissent, and its imperviousness to demands that dissenters make, probably constitute the greatest push factors: Cubans who are unhappy have had no reason to believe they can effect changes in their lives. Another strong push factor for the recent wave of newcomers is the economic situation and scarcity of crucially necessary goods like medicine.
The "pull" factor has been the United States' policy with regard to Cuban immigrants which has effectively been, until recently, an unqualified welcome for both documented (Cubans entering the United States through normal immigration procedures, including legal departure from Cuba) and undocumented (Cubans arriving in the United States without immigrant visas, who have usually left Cuba illegally). Until 1985, there was no quota for Cubans entering the United States via normal immigration procedures, as there was for other immigrant groups. Cuban undocumented entrants have always had special status: While entrants from other countries have been required to demonstrate that they were fleeing political persecution to be granted refugee status, it was officially assumed that anyone arriving in the United States from Cuba was a bona fide refugee and therefore had automatic access to the special benefits that refugees are entitled to. Cuban entrants have had other special privileges as well; since 1966, for example, the Attorney General has had discretionary power to guarantee permanent residency to any Cuban who has been in the United States for a year, including those on visitor's visas who have overstayed the period delineated in their visas.
There have been, since the revolution, three basic waves of Cubans coming to the United States. These groups tend to differ from one another in their opinions and values and have different acculturation experiences, depending partly on when and why they emigrated from Cuba, and partly on their reception in the U.S.
According to U.S. Immigration Support, for many Cubans, reaching U.S. soil is highly desired. Many individuals seek political freedom and a democratic form of government. Some Cubans also seek to live in a land of capitalism where there are fewer restrictions placed on individuals and more opportunities. Individuals living in Cuba who are against the Castro regime are not free to express themselves and their lives may be threatened if they dare to speak out or to assemble anti-Castro groups in their homeland. Many Cubans have family already in the United States, and are looking to join them. Sometimes they turn to smugglers, who can charge thousands of dollars, or they may resort to making homemade boats and even rafts for the 90 mile journey from Cuba to Florida. Others fly to another country such as Mexico, and try to enter the United States from another border. The journey to the United States is often dangerous. Unfortunately, children and adults sometimes end up losing their lives in their efforts to reach American soil.
In the summer of 1994, there was a drastic wave of over 30,000 Cubans that tried to enter the United States. As a result, the U.S. and Cuban government tried to work out an immigration agreement. Cuba agreed to do a better job of patrolling their seas to prevent Cubans from leaving their country. If they were not successful in reaching Florida soil and were intercepted by the United States Coast Guard, who is responsible for overseeing America’s seas and shores, the Cuban government also agreed that there would be no reprisal against the Cubans who were returned. However, in reality Cubans that are sent back to Cuba after unsuccessfully trying to immigrate to the United States usually face some kind of punishment by the Cuban government such as imprisonment. The general rule is that once an individual reaches American soil and is out of American waters, they are allowed to remain in the U.S. This controversial policy is often referred to as the “wet foot, dry foot policy.” However, there are some exceptions to this rule and not all Cubans who are intercepted at sea before reaching American soil are returned to Cuba. For example, a Cuban who is fleeing from political persecution may be allowed to resettle in another country besides the United States or even possibly in the United States if their lives are at risk in Cuba.
In 1994, the U.S. set a quota of 20,000 immigrant visas annually for Cubans. Of this number, 5,000 come from a lottery system. This special lottery administered by American officials in Havana gives Cubans permanent U.S. residency. However, it has not been done on annual basis since its implementation in 1995. To gain a visa from this special lottery is highly desired by Cubans since those selected are entitled to a Green Card and work assistance in the United States. In addition, children of the winners of the lottery are allowed to enroll in the public school system. One of the biggest incentives is that lottery winners may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship within five years of winning the lottery. However, there are some requirements as to who can apply for the lottery. Eligible applicants must be between 18 and 55 years old and have a minimum of a high school education. Eligible individuals must also have been employed for the past two years. After winning the lottery, applicants are required to pass an immigration visa interview as part of the screening process. The interview is conducted by the U.S. Cuban Interests Section in Havana and the applicant must also submit medical records and any criminal records. The purpose of the screening process is to ensure that the applicant will not become a burden to the United States government. Lottery winners are entitled to bring their spouse and children under 21 years of age to the United States.
Why Cubans have access to immigration visas and Mexicans do not
Why does the United States government reach out to Cubans to enable their entry into the United States and at the very same time, the United States government puts up a border fence to prevent the entry of Mexicans?
The only viable answer: Cubans vote Republican and Mexicans vote Democrat.
Since President Kennedy, the Republican Presidents: Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush have nurtured the Florida Cuban community in partnership with savvy Cuban American Republican congressional members to obtain direct assistance in facilitating the ease of entry for Cuban immigrants. Operation Pedro Pan, the Mariel boatlifts and the "Wet Foot, Dry Foot" policy were magnificent programs facilitating Cuban immigrants entering the United States.
It is the tenacity and diligence of the Cuban American Republican congressional members for being steadfast in advocating immigration programs and services to serve the Cuban community in Miami, Florida and surrounding areas and the payback for Republicans has been Cuban votes.
The mirror opposite is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus dominated by the Puerto Ricans and more concerned with obtaining $7.3 billion in health programs for Puerto Rico than concerned in obtaining expedited immigration processing and immigration reform.
If Mexican American congressional members instead of silence as their mantra were instead advocates for immigration reform, the dominant Mexican American community would not have to take a back seat to the needs of Puerto Ricans and Cubans.
With the 2008 presidential election, Florida Democrats did carry the state for Barack Obama but the Obama emphasis on immigration has been directed to deport undocumented Mexicans and thus services to the Mexican community regarding immigration services have been thwarted.
As for Marco Rubio, the viability of his election on the 2012 Republican national ticket will never materialize.
As for Obama, there is no enthusiasm from Mexican Americans to vote for him in 2012. Obama promised immigration reform in the first year of his presidency and failed to make good his promise. In the second year, Obama again failed. Obama then proceeded to deport 1,000,000 undocumented Mexicans and then lied he had no alternative but to uphold the law. The payback for this will be Mexican Americans will not vote for Obama in 2012 and without Mexican American votes, Obama will not be re-elected.
As disappointed as we are with the lack of immigration reform, there is a long litany of failures that have caused the demise of the United States of America.
, and Jon Garrido National News have begun to identify these failures to build consensus to get rid of Obama and his White House staff for failing to provide fiduciary leadership for all Americans. Each website has a section "The Failed Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama" that documents Obama's failed presidency.
The 2012 presidential election is up for grabs and in early 2012, the above websites will ask Mexican Americans and other Hispanic democrats to vote for someone but it will not be Obama.
Disillusionment with Obama & Puerto Rican Liberal Dominated Congressional Hispanic Caucus
In the 2008 election, we were Democrats. Today, we are disillusioned with Obama and congressional Democrats not only for the lack of Immigration Reform but also for the attack on Christian values by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that supported the nomination of a Puerto Rican woman as Ambassador to El Salvador. The woman was serving as provisional ambassador to San Salvador since September 2010 after Obama, looking to bypass Republican opposition to her nomination, made her a recess appointee. Her temporary tenure ran out because Republican lawmakers resisted a determined administration effort to secure Senate confirmation.
Though the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved her nomination on a 10-9 party-line vote, her fate in the full Senate was uncertain until the legislative session came to an end. Conservative anger toward the Puerto Rican woman was based, in part, on an op-ed she wrote June 28, 2011, in La Prensa Grafica, a daily newspaper in El Salvador promoting a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender agenda. Republican South Carolina senator Jim DeMint, a chief opponent of the Puerto Rican appointment, claimed the op-ed was an “attempt to impose a pro-gay agenda” on El Salvador.
Hispanic News agreed with Senator DeMint.57 percent of El Salvador’s population is Roman Catholic, and several Salvadoran family and religious groups wrote to U.S. lawmakers criticizing the appointment for “abusing her diplomatic status, showing a clear disdain concerning our values and cultural identity.” They urged lawmakers to oppose her confirmation and suggested she be removed from the post.
Hispanic News contacted Senator DeMint recommending the U.S. Senate let the temporary tenure of this nomination run out ending the government career of this Puerto Rican woman advocate for a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender agenda.
It appears the Congressional Hispanic Caucus only promotes Puerto Ricans who are 9% of America's Hispanics but Mexican Americans who are 63% of America's Hispanics are not considered worthy for ambassadorial appointments nor is Immigration Reform a priority for Puerto Ricans who can travel back and forth at will from Puerto Rico to the USA because Puerto Ricans being USA citizens do not have to comply with draconian immigration requirements as do Mexicans.
This is why Puerto Ricans think Immigration Reform is not important but this belief is naive, stupid and selfish. When the tide rises in the harbor, all ships rise — not just some. It is through increase of Hispanic immigrants entering from Mexico, Central and South America that will lead to greater and fuller participation in the American Dream for all Hispanics living in the USA and this includes Puerto Ricans benefiting from the Hispanic growth of the Hispanic population in the United States of America.
Newt Gingrich, the Only Hope for Immigration Reform
Some 60 days ago, I concluded of all Republican presidential candidates, Newt Gingrich was the only one who had opened the door for Immigration Reform. I remember as though it was yesterday, Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and was instrumental in spearheading landmark reform legislation through Congress but I needed to know if Gingrich had the right stuff to become president. 60 days ago I bought six books written by Gingrich and began reading what this man thinks and what he proposes on how Washington can restore values and jobs leading to a re-birth of America. Gingrich is a prolific author with some writings impressive but some obviously written just to sell books. He does provide some solutions to take America to a higher of level but what was apparent is most readers probably accept at face value what Gingrich proposes for most Americans have no understanding of how Washington works.
In Winning the Future, Gingrich writes, "The United States has a special place in this vision of a Continent of Hope. We are a very special nation because we are founded on a revolutionary idea: That we are created equal
― citizen and non-citizen alike ― and endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
"The idea of America as a Continent of Hope carries both privileges and responsibilities for the people of the United states. It means every person has an inherent human dignity that must be respected, including those who are in our country illegally. But it also means that all of us must respect the laws that have been passed to ensure freedom and security. As Pope John Paul II recognized, 'The Rule of Law is the necessary condition for establishing true democracy.'"
"In fulfilling a vision of America as the Continent of Hope, two values are inextricably linked: our compassion for those who come to our country for a better life and our commitment to the Rule of Law. Just as we would betray this vision by turning our backs on the poverty and injustice suffered by our neighbors, we would also undermine the very foundation of our nation by tolerating eleven million people in our midst in open violation for our laws. If we fail to abide by either of these values, we risk becoming less of the nation our Founders and Pope John Paul II believe we could be, and which we have been for 230 years."
"But how we reconcile this inspiring vision of America with the day-to-day demands of controlling our borders? To build a Continent of Hope we need a system of 'patriotic immigration.' Patriotic immigration means knowing that all immigrants to our country are legal and accounted for, and that once they're here, they learn to be Americans."
Americans would Agree with Gingrich Except Washington can Change the Rule of Law
All Americans would agree with Gingrich but Gingrich is playing a word game with us. To those outside Washington, the above is what makes us Americans but for those who are familiar with what influences Washington, all in Washington know if you want to change federal law, a lobbyist from K Street is hired to begin to lobby a member of Congress to propose new law, repeal, or modify existing law.
This is where the nuts and bolts of Federal law has its beginning to persuade a member of Congress to sponsor new Federal legislation with the intent of becoming Federal law also labeled the Rule of Law.
This where the Cuban American Congressional Members of Congress have been highly successful in sponsoring and obtaining passage of Cuban Immigration programs enabling Cubans to freely enter the United States.
Unfortunately, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus controlled by Puerto Ricans because of lack of interest has never been successful in spearheading immigration reform to facilitate ease of entry for Mexicans, Central and South Americans.
These actions or rather lack of action is why there are presently two very different United States Immigration Polices for Hispanics/Latinos. One policy is the friendly welcome initiative for Cubans and the other polar opposite is for Mexicans, Central and South American countries and is a draconian maze with the primary intent of keeping Mexicans, Central and South Americans from entering the United States.
Both policies follow the "Rule of Law" but why is there two very different policies? Gingrich writes "
We are a very special nation because we are founded on a revolutionary idea: That we are created equal ― citizen and non-citizen alike."
If this premise holds true for all then why is there two very different immigration policies or rather, two Rules of Law ― One for Cubans and a vastly different policy/Rule of Law for all other Hispanics/Latinos?
To bring immigration policy back to the principle of equality for all as defined in the U.S. Constitution, the immigration policy for Mexicans, Central and South Americans must be changed by passage of new Immigration Reform mandating only one policy/Rule of Law for all Hispanics/Latinos.
Then and only then would the Rule of Law be equally applied to all and would reflect the intent of the authors of the U.S. Constitution for the Rule of Law to be equally applicable to all.
If Republicans accept this and spearhead new Immigration Reform passage for all Hispanics/Latinos that advances and protects the civil rights of all Hispanics living in America bringing an end to all deportations, then all Hispanics/Latinos should register for ever more as Republicans and vote for a Republican for President of the United States.
