Why all the Obama hatred?

I hate that, since it reimburses below cost, but my wife is required to treat them (meaning literally that every such patient costs us money out of pocket (plus much larger opportunity costs).

Maybe they are not such a big deal in the NE. It's crushing in the SW.

Did I miss something else he implied other than that one sentence at the end of that post?

An "anchor baby" is not an anchor. If ICE decided to get off its ass and start deporting more illegal immigrant parents of babies born here in the U.S., there's nothing legally stopping them. An "anchor baby" is not insurance against deportation. It's a completely made up term.

Not sure why the hatred on this issue. The Obama admin is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants. Oh, wait, yes I'm sure why - he's Obama. That's enough to cancel out reality and substitute it with someone's own.
