So just because they are Latinos doesn't mean they are experts on immigration or immigration advocates. Seriously he should have gotten George Lopez too

It's all about VOTES! Notice how one-sided his meeting was. Take note: he didn't invite anyone who had their social security number stolen by an illegal alien, nor someone involved in a car accident with an uninsured illegal immigrant. Let's hear from people who lost their job or had their wages cut because of illegal immigration. What about the contractors and other businesses who can't compete with cheap illegal alien. It's the US citizens who suffer yet our so-called leader is pandering to special interests to get votes. We need a leader who puts US citizens first. Let Obama know this won't be forgotten at election time.

I'd love to hear what Obama would say to all us victims of identity theft.
