President Obama changing the rules on illegal immigration (O'Reilly: "...the new policy is humane"
Bill O'Reilly.com ^ | 6/15/2012 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 06/16/2012 11:44:08 AM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

O'Reilly: "... How can you blame kids when they're dragged to the USA from wherever? If you're a fair person you can't. It's not the childs fault immigration laws are broken, it's the parents who did it; thus the new policy is humane..."

The only reason I am posting this is twofold: to guage what people here think of what O'reilly has said and to get their opinion on this, and put forward the following: does Romney think that the new policy is humane, in addition to what he has already said since Obama's speech on this. As far as I know, Romney has not specifically said if he believes the new policy to be humane or not.

I wonder if Romney will converge with Rubio who said that the new policy is a welcome change, in addition to the other things that Rubio announced concerning this.

This video is not the big one at the top. It is just below it - second one to the right.

Tell an unemployed person ineligible for Unemployment benefits it’s humane.

O’Reilly is a racist for thinking that being returned to Mexico is a bad thing or punishment of some kind.

I was channel surfing last night, waiting for the wife to come in from watering the plants. She wanted to watch Undercover Boss. I settled for O’Reilly (whom I haven’t watched in a couple years), for lack of anything else. Big mistake. He had Lou Dobbs on, and was giving this meme. I turned off the TV. That’s the last time I’ll entertain going to his show.

As for Romney, we’ll have to see, but I wouldn’t put it past him, unless he sees sufficient fallout to ward him off.

More insipid spew from the loudmouth education major.

I expect Romney's reaction to be muted unless or until he has an alternative to offer.

Bill works from a false premise. The immigration laws are not broken. They are unenforced. He needs to explain in detail why they would be ‘broken’ when they are unused.

He is of course, an agendist, not a journalist.

If you read the construct framework of Obama’s conditions, you will find: Under 30, high school dipoma/GED or military, in this country for 5 years, lawful....that is effing it!

We’re not talking ‘children’ here, nor are we talking about those brought here with their parents- UNDER 30!.....

GED a problem? I’d bet my ass there will be GED diploma mills popping in every Mexican Tijuana sidestreet of America! (Don’t act like you don’t know they are there - every city in this country).

Lawful? Does anyone actually think the DOJ, who will administer this treason, is gonna check the NCIC or take finger prints? Don’t count on it one iota!

We are talking probably TENS OF MILLIONS, here not 800,000 or a million. This country is effed if it doesn’t throw that bastard out in November and get its sanity back.

O’Reilly the sexual harasser should think first.

o’really hasn’t thought past his nose on this. Let the kids stay=let their parents stay. It’s a backdoor amnesty for any illegal with a kid.
It isn’t 800,000 who receive amnsty, it’s millions.

Whether it is humane or not humane or good policy or not - it doesn’t matter. That is a matter for congressional hearings and legislation to sort out and decide what our laws are. Congress’s role is to write legislation. A president can’t just decree legislation. It is unconstitutional.

when O’Really said Obama’s move was “ Brilliant “ I had to change the channel , also sounded like he had a muzzle on poor Lou Dobbs

I too watched O’reill last night, thus why I posted this.

I was curious what people here would think about this video.

And I also believe that we shouldn’t put it past Romney to do just about anything, and pivot/flip-flop on his stance on illegal immigartion that he took during the primary cycle.

Can't believe people still watch television for news.

Political talk shows are nothing but political propaganda all regulated by corruptgov.

Other than live coverage of an event, TV is absolutely useless.

Well, I won’t watch the video because I refuse to give POS O’really a hit. I don’t give a hoot what that arrogant a$$ thinks.

As for Romney, it doesn’t really matter what he says, does or thinks, because his word is worthless.

Now for Obama... as far as I am concerned he has committed treason, AGAIN. But, in todays America, treason is no longer an actionable crime.

It would be “humane” to allow those in war-torn Syria, starving Ethiopians or oppressed Cubans to come here. Not smart. Not legal. Not fair. But Mexicans...this is for votes.

Obama is doing this for purely political reasons. O’Reilly is a HUGE moron for not seeing this.

Obama is bypassing the Constitution, a horrible precident to set. O’Reilly is an idiot for not seeing this.

Obama is adding millions of people to the labor market where there aren’t enough jobs. Is that “humane” to the unemployed in America?

These illegals will be paid wages that are way below market. Essentially a form of SLAVERY. Is slavery humane Mr. O’Reilly?

So is '30' the new '26' for children? (Obamacare=26-parents insurance)

What about the illegal children that are 30 and 2 months? Barry is such a hater/.

I thought military service was an avenue to citizenship - which I'm in agreement.

Exactly! It's not WHAT Obama did (though it was not a good thing either) but HOW he did it that's the problem.
