Barack Obama (@BarackObama) January 30, 2013Words are hard. This is par for the course for President Obama.
. @BarackObama lumping everyone in as "immigrants," zero distinction between legal and illegal immigrants—

Facts shmacts! President Obama has shamnesty to push! His Twitter feed continued in the same vein last night and today. Citizens graciously help Obama out and helpfully add the missing word: Legal.
@BarackObama LEGAL immigrants. Not people that jump to the head of the line because of the nature of our weak borders.—

@BarackObama *Legal* Immigrants. Go through the process our ancestors went through and just about everyone would be fine with it.—

@BarackObama Yes but you forgot to say LEGAL immigrants. Amnesty not needed.—

@BarackObama I'm sorry, but we are a nation of LEGAL immigrants. There needs to be that specification.—

@BarackObama as the child of legal immigrants, I don't see why my parents had to work for citizenship and others just have to hop a fence.—

Bingo. As Twitchy reported, law-abiding people jump through hoops and wait years, sometimes decades, to come to America. Legally.
And Twitter user @Keder puts it in a nutshell.
Yes, we are a nation of immigrants. Now, WTF does that have to do with how we deal with illegal immigration? @BarackObama #p2—
