The New York Republican is moving swiftly to determine the legality of President Obama’s decision, announced today, to halt deportations of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and grant them work permits. According to a report in the Daily Caller, Rep. King says “The administration is overstepping its authority by weakening immigration laws without congressional approval. I am very concerned about efforts to administratively implement amnesty for countless illegal aliens under the age of 30. It is vital that US borders are secure prior to any consideration of amnesty proposals.”
President Obama would have agreed with Rep. King a year ago. Speaking to a group of Latino students, some of whom were illegal aliens and subject to deportation, the president said that taking that the action that he has taken today would have been inappropriate:
“There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply, through executive order, ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”
The president’s constitutional role has not changed in the intervening year. Only his re-election prospects have changed.
Folks, I’d like to say “good on this man, he fights”, but there will be no amnesty, and the borders will be secured because they *should* be secured, and the law on immigration will be enforced as is because it is the law that was decided upon, and that’s all there is to it. No compromise is possible that does not result in a loss. Those in politics are choosing the law-breakers over those who have done nothing besides say “I don’t think this should be rewarded”.
To hell with the GOP.
So therefore Anonymous, you will also take no exception to executive orders written in the future by the hand of a republican president. Correct?
Friend, drop dead. I actually want the thing to work as close as it can to what it should be. And that means the President is bound by the rules of the game as established by Congress.
That means I will take exception to Executive Orders if they preempt law in a clear manner, including the spirit of the law. Honestly, probably not as stridently as I would against a Democrat, but let me assure you there will be no blessing, and standing by as someone else strings up a foolish GOP president, I would take amused solace in the salutary effect it surely would have future occupants. Because, as I said, I actually want the thing to work, usually more than I care about any particular policy.
Have a nice day
Folks, 800,000 “anchor babies” are now authorized to work in the USA, apply for citizenship and sponsor their illegal parents for Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status. This is an “unfunded mandate” end run around Congress.
These “anchor baby’s” parents will now be sponsored by these “anchor babies” once these ‘anchor babies’ apply for and receive their LPR – Legal Permanent Status (green cards).
This is Obama’s and Janet Napolitano’s full Amnesty Program now underway. No more Immigration policy. No More “Rule of Law.” Just Executive Orders.
Just cross the border illegally, bring your families, kin, and grandchildren with you. The USA will give you a Work Permit and path to citizenship.
This is Rep. Grijalvas and Gutierrez’s and Sen. Rubio’s action plan for legalization of those Illegals already in the USA. La Raza and Chicanos por la Causa had a big hand in this, too. As did other splinter groups. America is under seige, folks, wake-up for pete’s sake.
FUNDING for an orderly processing of some 300,000 to 400,000 LEGAL immigrants has been provided in USA’s six or seven immigrant processing centers across the country. Now, and additional 800,000 new “anchor baby” deferred status UNFUNDED illegal aliens are going to flood an already overworked, under funded immigrant processiyng system! This is some total 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 additional applicants for Legal Permanent Status across the USA’s already stretched immigrant procesing system.
This violates the rights, pain, suffering and anxiety of those LEGAL Immigrants who painstakingly adhered to the letter of the LAW, applied for and received their receipts, are waiting in line for their National Visa Center’s authorizations and subsequent LPR (green card) status.
These 700,000 or so LEGAL immigrants (already in line) followed the letter of the laws in immigration books, got lawyers, paid all the fees and have waited years in line. All for naught.
Now, awarding criminal behaviours is America’s new normal. Now, some 800,000 ILLEGAL ALIEN siblings “anchor babies” will apply for work permits, receive “deferred status” and get in line…in front of those LEGAL immigrants already having complied with all immigration policies and procedures and awaiting approval, receipt of their green cards (LPR) status.
So, Obama criminal administration operatives are awarding Obama’s criminal breatheren with a “free pass” to US citizenship…and all their kin and parents, too. God Bless America. This is a massive criminal enterprise at work…right before our very eyes. Rep. Grijalva and Gutierrez along with Sen. Rubion are showing their true Latino colors…no to “Rule of Law.”
This is amazing! Rule-of-Law? NAH! Not in the USA. And especially not by this Administration and Congress! Amen. God Bless America, she’s on full life support. Remember Flag Day.
It seems to me that failing to “ensure that the Laws of the United States are faithfully enforced” is an impeachable offense. I seem to have missed the debate in Congress about changing the immigration laws; or is Obama just ignoring the Constitution – again?
We don’t need an “investigation”; we need an IMPEACHMENT.
Michelle Malkin (You remember her right?) She is an anchor baby – she jumped the fence, married a gringo and brought her ENTIRE family here. But since she spends her day spitting on POTUS, she’s ok with you folks.
And all this nonsense because a black man won an election?
– your old admirer is back.
