    Sen. Rand Paul Blames Baltimore Protests on Lack of Fathers,

    Sen. Rand Paul Blames Baltimore Protests on Lack of Fathers, Lack of Moral Code

    Presidential hopeful Sen. Rand Paul said the Baltimore protests about a lack of fathers and lack of morals. How about when an upper middle class white kid from a broken home goes on a shooting rampage and kills innocent people? Will Paul blame that on a lack of father and morals? No. They blame that on mental illness.
    What happened in Baltimore last night was inexcusable and disgraceful but is that what it will take to get meaningful police reform in this country? As President Obama said, this is a “slow-rolling crisis” that is tied to the economic standards in inner city communities.

    “I came through the train on Baltimore (sic) last night, I’m glad the train didn’t stop,” he said, laughing, during an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham.

    Railing against what he repeatedly called “thuggery and thievery” in the streets of Baltimore, Paul told Ingraham that talking about “root causes” was not appropriate in the middle of a riot.

    “The police have to do what they have to do, and I am very sympathetic to the plight of the police in this,” he said.

    As far as root causes, Paul listed some ideas of his own.

    “There are so many things we can talk about,” the senator said, “the breakdown of the family structure, the lack of fathers, the lack of a moral code in our society.”

    “the breakdown of the family structure, the lack of fathers, the lack of a moral code in our society.”

    Those are certainly factors.

    He is correct.

    A son with a strong father figure in his life wouldn't be playing the fool like these kid "protestors."

    Yep, he's right. Haven't you said much the same, @Common?

    No I did not say anything like its lack of fathers and moral code. Thats a small part of the rioting the biggest part is total frustration across the board, based on poverty. The police is always the first manifestation of hopelessness in black neighborhoods in bad times and this has been a long run of bad times
    Whats Ironic is that rand pauls been stroking the black community for votes. Now seems he stroking the trailer park crowd.

    That is an issue, but that is not the reason there are protests, and it is the type of rhetoric that isn't very 'Presidiential', imo.

    There are many cities across the country where a lack of fathers and moral code is an issue, why aren't there protests there tonight?

    Because that is a separate issue and not the reason there are protests. Come on Rand, you need to be above this if you want my vote.

    Poverty? Really? President Obama just gave amnesty to millions of illegals reducing those opportunities..........

    Amnesty for illegals throws Black America off the bus

    By Kevin Fobbs, Communities Digital News

    11 hours ago

    CLEVELAND, November 19, 2014 — With the stroke of a pen, President Barack Obama will strip black Americans and their children of their economic civil rights and opportunities in favor of illegal alien immigrants.

    Obama has decided to turn back the clock on black Americans’ hard-won rights by his planned executive order, set for 8 p.m., November 20.

    According to the New York Times, Obama will use his executive authority to provide work permits for up to five million people who are in the United States illegally, which will shield them from deportation.

    Four to 5 million illegal aliens are about to jump ahead of them, hijacking their economic opportunities to attain the American Dream. A community that already suffers from an unemployment rate more than double that of whites is being thrown into direct and open competition with millions of newly legal foreign workers.

    What rights and opportunities have these citizenship line-jumpers been deprived of? What have they done to deserve their sudden fast-track to the benefits that have yet to fully come to black America?

    http://www.commdiginews.com/politics...c-order-30042/
    You will need to take a ride to Washington to ask Obama why? While you are there......

    1996 Illegal Immigration Reform & Immigrant Responsibility Act

    TITLE I emphasized heightened border enforcement, aimed to establish methods of legal (and regulated) alien entry and interior systems designed to monitor and verify authorized immigrants.

    TITLE II recognized heightened enforcement and increased penalties for transporting undocumented aliens into the United States; both aliens willingly entering and by means of involuntary servitude. The title pertains, most specifically, to non-immigrants (citizens) usage and participation in fraudulent activities/behaviors increasing alien habitation.

    TITLE III stipulates acceptable practices of examination, arrest, imprisonment, mediation and removal of excludable and deportable aliens. The title includes numerous revisions and changes, implementing additional provisions in its last subtitle (subtitle F).

    TITLE IV provides information pertaining to alien employment. The title includes implemented restrictions and maintenance of employment pilot programs, (alien) employers and unacceptable practices of/in alien employment.

    TITLE V solidifies the government’s role in providing assistance to aliens. The title includes rules and restrictions, used to establish alien eligibility (or lack thereof), of government support. Miscellaneous provisions were taken into consideration; pilot work programs, unexpected medical expenses as well as an increased penalty for fraudulent activity, aimed to benefit (or benefiting) unauthorized aliens. The title stipulates set determinants for eligibility of public housing assistance and has specified standards used to regulate government aid given to aliens.

    TITLE VI contains miscellaneous stipulations not (necessarily) laid forth by previous titles, and technical corrections to the act. The title considers the status of “aliens” not intended to fall under the act, individuals deemed refugee, parolee and those seeking asylum. Additional modifications and clarification is given, such as, regulations pertaining to foreign students (Sec. 625) and visa waiver programs (Sec. 635). Other provisions referenced a multitude of issues, from the criminalization of female genital mutilation (Sec. 645) to border patrol museums (Sec. 658). Finally, severability of any provision is included, in the event it becomes unconstitutional.

    That has nothing to do with the thread. Reagan gave 3million blanket amnesty and never closed the border either. I am against illegal immigration
