It’s no secret that President Obama is a huge fan of human prop-aganda. (He’s especially a sucker for anyone in a white lab coat.) Singled out as the face of illegal immigration during the president’s executive amnesty speech Thursday night and the Las Vegas edition on Friday afternoon was Astrid Silva, a college student working on her third degree (while picking fruit and cleaning bedpans between classes?).
“Are we a nation that kicks out a striving, hopeful immigrant like Astrid – or are we a nation that finds a way to welcome her in?” asked Obama.
Now a celebrity (whose tweets are protected), Silva sent a thank you to Sen. Harry Reid, which he tweeted to his followers.
"Thank you Senator Reid. My dad is now covered."
Signed, @Astrid_NV #ImmigrationAction pic.twitter.com/2cXlbEniQb

Didn’t President Obama allegedly resort to executive action on amnesty because he couldn’t persuade Senate Majority Leader Reid and the rest of Congress to pass immigration reform?
Hey @Astrid_NV – @SenatorReid did nothing. @barackobama on the other hand wiped his ass with the Constitution.
