WASHINGTON May 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will travel to Buffalo, New York, next week to discuss the economy, the White House said on Thursday, as he continues his campaign to convince Americans he can ease their economic woes.

Obama will travel to Buffalo on Thursday, May 13, a White House spokesman said. The trip is the latest on a job-focused agenda that has included visits to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri in recent months.

Obama doesn’t need to speak. He needs to do! Talk is cheap! Sign an executive order to stop the illegal alien invasion from Mexico and deport resident illegal aliens “Squatting” on U.S. soil, using U.S. resources and social services and holding jobs in direct defiance to U.S. Immigration law! Support and defend the citizen President Obama! Defend your nation against invasion!

Illegal immigrants are not the reason our economy failed and educated Americans can’t find work. Besides, these people are just looking for the same opportunity your great grandparents did. They are not responsible for the lack of engineering, mechanical, scientific and medical positions. CEOs and Wall Street are. The brightest people in our nation no longer create things for the rest to build, they develop equations used to bet on the lower 99% of the countries lives. 1% of the population owns 95% of the country. You will never be one of those one percent, no matter how hard they convince you this is the best system cause you have a ‘chance.’ Those are the people who screwed you over. Not a few starving immigrants. Stop being so damn ignorant. If we stopped all our petty right vs left bickering we could all stand together against the real enemies. Trickle down is a MYTH. Reagan was Goldman Sachs’ paid actor. Focus on the real problem.

I completely agree with the previous comment, the immigrants aren’t the issue and whoever wrote the first comment is an ignoramus who needs a wake up call and should watch the news a little more often… Obama coming to Buffalo should help us out because talking to the people does help us out, it leads to enligtenment which leads to change and what America really needs now is some change so stop being so damn single-minded and do something about the economy instead of blaming immigrants for your unemployment.
