John Boehner’s problem can be summed up this way: 56% of Republicans think we should deport children who were brought here illegally by their parents many years ago, who attended our schools, who graduated, who have no criminal record, and who want to work. Fifty-six percent is a big number when you consider that 86% of Democrats and 66% of independents support the president’s policy change on immigration. Boehner can complain about it all he wants, but it’s his own party that hates the browning of America so much that it’s frothing at the mouth to deport these innocent American kids. They’re even spreading stupid conspiracy theories about how this policy will lead to nearly a million decent American law-abiding non-citizens participating in our elections. It won’t. These kids will not be able to vote. But why shouldn’t they? They are as American as every other kid they grew up and went to school with. Republicans don’t want them to be citizens because they don’t want them to vote. They want them to leave because they don’t like looking at them. So, Boehner can put that in his pipe and smoke it.
