Obama hints at amnesty for illegal immigrants
New Mexico Business ^ | June 26, 2009 | Mike Sunnucks

Posted on 07/04/2009 4:17:26 PM PDT by george76

Obama stayed away from hot-button words in remarks Thursday on immigration reform, but hinted that his immigration push will include some kind of “amnesty” or “legal path” for illegal immigrants already in the U.S.

Obama also said Thursday he is making U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano a key point person on the immigration reform push

Guy has nearly 20 million Americans out of work and he wants to bring in more illegals.

He's out of contact with reality ~ stark raving mad.

Baracko is trying to lockdown his “re-election.” Americans are pretty pissed off right now so he’s going to need more non-American votes if he’s going to pull it off a second time. Amnesty does NOT make one an American. It only makes you a citizen of this country on paper.

He doesn’t see them as illegals. He sees them as votes...

The American people have spoken on this issue, loudly and pointedly. But, of course, the Pretender-in-Chief can’t be bothered with overwhelming public opinion as he tramples the Constitution on his merry march to marxism.

He’s the pied piper to the LibTard masses.

It’s time to take back the country.

people know it’s not good but I don’t think the average sheep realizes how bad giving 12-20 million new welfare cases easy access to benefits and the ballot box in a country that is already straining

With FREE medical care. They will always be below some minimum threshold be it for Copays , insurance or the fines for not carrying insurance. Americans will not only feed and house but care for millions of unskilled unwelcome invaders.

Obama knows urban areas tended to vote for him based on his phony promises.

He may know *exactly* what he’s doing.

That is, until 15 million Americans out of work realize there are 20+ million illegals in the country.

The American public are being played for fools.

Knew that was coming. No amnesty whatsoever. Close the border, send them home then address work programs and controlled legal immigration.

There already was a path to legal status—— before these intruders shose the path thru the desert or inside a truck of produce.

There are far too many unskilled US Citizens looking for work to swallow this invasion any further.

The number of illegals is much closer to 50 million, IMO. The 20 million number has been used for over 35 years.

As Sarah sues their pants off regarding some of the scurrilous and defamatory stories produced by the Democrats I suspect the people being sued will start to rat out their masters. This will probably bounce all the way up to the White House itself.

Dept of Justice----US Atty's Office----Southern District of Florida
Two Miami Men Indicted for $179 Million Medicare Fraud Scheme
FR Posted July 02, 2009 by Larry381

Jeffrey H. Sloman, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jonathan I. Solomon, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Miami Field Office, and Christopher B. Dennis, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Miami Regional Office, announced that defendants Jose Luis Perez, of Golden Beach, FL, and Reinaldo Guerra, of Miami, FL, were indicted on June 30, 2009 on charges of conspiracy to commit Medicare fraud, Medicare fraud, and aggravated identity theft.

According to the Indictment unsealed today, the fraud involved durable medical equipment (DME), which is equipment that can be used in the home on a repeated basis for a medical purpose. Where DME is prescribed or ordered by a physician, an authorized Medicare provider who supplies the equipment to a Medicare beneficiary may be eligible for reimbursement by Medicare. The Indictment charges that Perez and Guerra owned and operated 21 corporations that purported to supply DME to Medicare beneficiaries pursuant to physicians’ prescriptions or written orders, using straw or nominee owners to disguise their control over the companies.

They submitted approximately $179 million in fraudulent claims to Medicare for DME that had not been prescribed or ordered by a physician nor delivered to a Medicare beneficiary. Based on those claims, Medicare paid the DME companies approximately $56 million.

In addition to health care fraud, the defendants were charged with aggravated identity theft for using physicians’ Medicare identification numbers without the physicians’ authorization. Guerra has been arrested and appeared in court earlier today. Perez remains at large and is being sought by law enforcement.

Mr. Sloman commended the investigative efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Osborne.

He NEVER hints. It's a given when he SAYS it. Likely to be another stealth legislation done at 5:00 PM on a Friday with most democrats and even more traitorous republicans signing on to it. We've come to expect it from them, so now there's no fear of doing whatever they want whenever they want and to hell with those who jam their phone and and fax lines.

Soros is deeply involved in the Obamitization of this nation. Financial, ACORN, and just about all of the rest of it. Money IS definitely in this case the root of all evil.

This is partly what is behind his health care push.

La Raza had a recent meeting someone got into and they were talking about how they needed to put pressure on congress to pass it because this is how the administration is going to ‘give’ health care to illegals. Under the radar of unsuspecting US citizens. They know we won’t go for it if it’s proposed in the open.

He doesn’t see them as illegals. He sees them as votes...

Yes, because he'll then have established a voting bloc that'll deliver for Dems for 30-40 years. That's what the election was about- Mr. Present's job is to destroy the economy and create as many 'dependents' as possible, to again, reinforce the Dem voting bloc.

He's as upside-down with regard to the interests of America as he has demonstrated with Iran, and now Honduras.

But, fortunately for us, he isn't the big 'playa' that'll take US down. That's coming later.

Trouble is: once they have a lock on the majority and it is composed of illegals who go to bed with images of Chavez in a tutu dancing to a communist waltz, look the hell out.

Communism works for people who don't mind being slaves. We're not talking Americans here, we're talking about people who'd give their eye teeth to be a slave in America- land of Free Health Care, Welfare, and Walmart.

Yeah, and make slaves out of the rest of us in the bargain.

Why not, he’s stealing our First Amendment Rights already.

http://www.jonchristianryter.com/News_Folder/Behind.html

The latest article on BEHIND THE HEADLINES tells you how Obama’s government lawyers are trying to sabotage Kerchner v Obama, et al. One of the lawyers argued that ... while the 1st Amendment guarantees people the right “...to petition the government for a redress of grievances ... this right to petition does not include a corresponding right to a response.” She continued that people do not have “... a constitutional right to force the government to listen to their views ... the Constitution does not grant to members of the public generally a right to be heard by public bodies making decisions of policy.”

In the view of the US Attorney, the 1st Amendment only allows you to petition the government, but it’s a one sided arrangement that does not require the government to listen ... or respond. We have a serious problem on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. If nothing else, this article will make you think. And when you do, compare the historic parallels.

“He doesn’t see them as illegals. He sees them as votes...”

This is game set and match. There isn't enough of us to take back the country when you can count on an additional 15 million votes with the sweep of a pen.

The Republicans will fight this, as the Dems expect them to, and win, lose, or draw, we just conceded the fastest growing population/ethnic group to the Dems.

Southern strategy in reverse.

I wish you were right, but this one is coming up all roses for Obama and the Dems. One way or the other, he is going to get the Hispanic vote.

In case you haven't realized, we are are quickly becoming the minority. By we I mean folks that pay taxes and have a vested interest in the country.

DUmocrats numbers are dwindling, they’ve aborted their own future and cannot keep the full court press through vote fraud forever. They need the FELON vote, but only way to guarantee to keep them in power is through illegal invaders to fill the void. Otherwise, they’d not have to offer SMOKES FOR VOTES, BOOZE FOR VOTES, CRACK FOR VOTES, etc. to get numbers of apathetic homeless to the polls.

Obama knows exactly what he is doing by trying to force the Amnesty issue.
He and other so-called American public officials are counting on their enormous voting numbers to stay in power, basically to off-set the Middle American vote ! He will continue to use the race card to divide Americans. Remember united we stand, divided we fall !
The only way to defeat this current Administration is to help dismantel groups like ACORN, “LA RAZA” (The Race),ACLU and other non-American groups !
Demand that the Government makes public the indictments of ACORN by 14 atates in the 2008 elections. Our Government has the nerve to criticise the election in Iran ! At least their people had the guts to protest !America better wake up soon, or you will be sitting on your couch, watching T.V. while your nation and freedom is taken away from you !
The biggest treat our nation faces is right here on our soil !
According to a 2005 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office,more Americans have been murdered by illegal immigrants in our nation since 2001, than have died on 9/11 and in Iraq COMBINED ! Not to mention the tens of thousands on American men, woman and children that have been Raped, Assaulted and robbed by these foreigners .I am sure the figures have grown in the last four years .
They are destroying our Economy by the cost and demand that they put on our Medical, Educational, Welfare and all other public assistance programs meant for less fortunate Americans !
Unemployment is high among immigrants in our nation, but our Government continues to allow both legal and illegal foreigners into our nation.
“LA RAZA” has the audacity to DEMAND that we give foreigners in our nation illegally healthcare ! Unbelievable !
Ask “LA RAZA”, why the citizens of foreign nation have to come to America for our benefits ? Can`t their proud nations help their own poor, illiterate and diseased citizens .
Stand up America, it is not racist to protect our lives, our economy and our sovereignty !
