Barack Obama is afraid. When he gives speeches in the United States, his staff makes sure there are plenty of white people sitting behind him, because he’s scared of creating the impression that only black people support him.

The post immediately below is about Israel’s inexplicable appeasement of a child-killing terrorist. This post is about a similar issue: our country’s appeasement of the factions who oppose deporting anyone — even an illegal alien gang member criminal who (allegedly) ended up taking the lives of this woman’s husband and two sons.
