Obama in 2014: Latinos ‘Mow Our Lawns, Make Our Beds, Clean out Bedpans’

‘America is not a nation that should be tolerating the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms’

Del Sol High School, Las Vegas, Nev -- Nov. 21, 2014:

BARACK OBAMA: "Now, this debate deserves more than the usual politics, because for all the back and forth in Washington, as I said last night, this is about something bigger.  This is about who we are.  Who do we want to be? 

"America is not a nation that accepts the hypocrisy of workers who mow our lawns, make our beds, clean out bedpans, with no chance ever to get right with the law. We’re a nation that gives people a chance to take responsibility and make amends, and then create a better future for their kids. 

"America is not a nation that should be tolerating the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms.  We’re a nation that values families, and we should work together to keep them together."
