Mia Love’s Speech Sticks It To Obama
If you haven’t heard Mia Love’s speech, or even of Mia Love, since the start of the RNC, she may just be the Republican Party’s next Sarah Palin.
Mia Love’s speech has been steadily gaining momentum since she took the stage Tuesday to tell attendees and viewers of the RNC about her history, the 36-year-old daughter of Haitian immigrants who has converted to Mormonism and is a mayor in the Salt Lake City area.
Mia Love’s speech drew heavily on her life and childhood … which is kind of interesting considering the strong anti-immigration stance being trumpeted time and again from the very same stage. It seems that while Republicans dislike the idea of immigration, they sure do love the stories of immigrants’ kids making it against all odds.
The strange dichotomy is echoed in Mia Love’s speech, where she describes an America in which her family was able to gain a foothold and build and grow … while seemingly rejecting policies that would afford the same opportunity-filled America to other Americans who have nothing.
Love also squarely criticizes President Obama, accusing him of dividing Americans and stoking distrust:
“President Obama’s version of America is a divided one — pitting us against each other based on our income level, gender, and social status. His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago, and no rhetoric, bumper sticker, or campaign ad can change that.”
Love’s speech continues:
“Mr. President I am here to tell you we are not buying what you are selling in 2012.”
Did you agree with the things Mia Love said in her speech, or do you think that the GOP’s values are unfriendly to low-income Americans and immigrants?

The GOP is not against immigration, they are against ILLEGAL immigration. Get your facts straight.

Kim, you are so wrong. Republicans do not dislike immigration. Republicans and all law abiding citizens dislike illegal immigration and dislike funding illegals. I feel sure you purposely misrepresented this fact.

I have a feeling the immigrants whose children were on that stage came here legally and once here raised their offspring to be proud, hardworking Americans!

You're really showing your ignorance by claiming that republicans "dislike" immigration. That's not true at all. Since when did lying become part of journalism? Republicans want immigration, and ultimatelythe path to citinzenship, laws adhered to because it is the greatest freedom this great nation offers. The right to vote and have a voice in government.
Illegal immigration undermines our laws. Democratic courting of illegal immigrants is nothing more than a way to collect more votes to promote their left leaning agenda. Immigrants tend to be poor and uneducated (at least when they arrive to this country) and democrats are feeding them lies and promises of socialist handouts.
The last time any president helped immigrants enter and assimilate into this country was Reagan…who was republican, you probably don't know that either!
dumbass.
