Obama needs every penny he can scrape up. The USA is virtually BROKE ! DR citizens that wish to get to the "promised land", should make their way to Mexico via Central America (and go north). Cross the USA-MEX border along with the thousand that cross daily. This Obama administration & DOJ is a freakin joke. A special invite for all DR deportee should be made,,, lol.. I cannot believe what is happening to the Great USA. This clown is running our once great country, into becoming a Banana Republic. Vote all the current SOBs (Rep & Dem) out.

I couldn't agree more Juango! Obama is a puppet and clown who is taking down the Great Empire with his spending policy which by the way today it is reported he has already spent $1.3 trillion more on his foolish gov't policies. House prices are continuing to decline in every city which means lower tax profit for local governments. Miami for one is already $3 million in debt and is threating to layoff more gov't workers, police, firemen to name a few. Robberies, burglaries and murders are a everyday occurrence in our daily Miami life. Obama is scraping for every penny including tax increases proposals just to stay afloat! A true dynasty is on the verge of calapsing just like Greece and Portugal and next is Spain right around the corner. P.S. On the bright side you can buy a 1 million dollar apartment on Miami Beach for $200,000 or less right now!

The Republicans, through their amazing mismanagement of money ( tax cuts for the rich, wasteful war spending, etc,) had 8 years to screw up the economy. AND THEY DID. Now, finally there is someone in office with the sense and ability to correct what they did in EIGHT YEARS. He is fighting the party of NO, who refuse to consider any reasonable plan, because they want to see him fail, regardless of the cost to the nation. Fools, such as the above posters buy into this BS and badmouth Obama, in spite of the fact that in the short time he is in office he has turned the direction of the economy around. Instead of shrinking it is growing. Instead of losing 750,000 jobs per month when Obama took office, jobs are is increasing. To undo the mistakes of 8 years of stupidity takes more than 18 months. Can you imagine where the US would be if the party of NO had won the last election?
How long can Bush be held accountable for the problems that he caused?
FOR AS LONG AS THOSE PROBLEMS EXIST

Juanb,
PREACH to the ignorant...... anybody can get on the train, but the question is do you know where it's been? I'm not saying that Obama is the messiah, but Bush definitely was the economic Hurracaine Katrina for the U.S. economy for 8 years.... And just like republicans, people will take the mess and try to blame you for the problems that they created just b/c your trying to fix it......... marketing... if you keep shouting fire.. eventually someone will believe they smell smoke!

JUAN,
Very well said. You are 100% CORRECT.
Why didn’t these clowns bitch when Bush was in Power.
Give Obama a chance. I LOVE My President
From: United States
The cost for immigration services begin to skyrocket many years ago under the Bush Adminstration. Some services saw a near 100% increase in prices under Bush. There was absolutely no whining about this from you Obama haters. It appears to me that the only time poor whites or racist elite wannabe dominicans complaint about so called mistreatment when the color of the person they believe is doing it, is "Black". Some here was in the same or worst economic state when Bush was in office, but never complained. These people will be poor, unemployed and uneducated no matter who was in office. Take control of your own lives, it is not the job of the federal government to find you a job.

Please. Bush was the greatest President since Reagan. If anything they didn't cut taxes enough.
Soon the US will have a true Conservative Government and when it does I will kick back and smile watching all the moochers whine and moan.
All you people bitching about the price rise should just shut up. If you can't afford it we don't want your lazy ass in the USA anyway.
