The Stupid Party is hell-bent on throwing Obama a life preserver and turning off their base before the 2014 midterms. We should start a stay home movement in 2014 if this is ever put up for a vote. Why should we be part of this suicide pact?

Legalization of status is amnesty. Citizenship is just the cherry on top.

[Oak Grove]

Any Representative or Senator who votes for amnesty, must be defeated and driven from office.

Conservatives, get ready for this legislative battle. The first thing you can do, is contribute to Tea Party candidates who are opposing RINO’s in primaries.

Donate to Matt Bevin, Joe Carr, Paul Broun, Greg Brannon, Lee Bright etc.

Exacty. And Issa’s green card holders will get free ObamaCare and other taxpayer-funded goodies. And so will their offspring.

RE :”Legalization of status is amnesty. Citizenship is just the cherry on top.”

Obama kind of gave some of that already by pres order.

Citizenship gives them the vote.

[unixfox]

They will pick our productive and saving pockets clean. Destroyed from within. America will be a third world shit hole with Issa and his ilk profiting from the destruction.

And nary a shot will be fired. We have not learned anything from history.

I guess they are not afraid of being primaried, that or the bribes from the cheap labor lobby must be too good to pass up.

Then again, the GOP is the stupid party.

For which he should be impeached. His "backdoor amnesty" to the so-callled Dreamers involves over 3 million people. He has effectively stopped immigration enforcement, Those who receive this legalization receive SSNs and work permits. They can travel freely to and from this country.

Any legislation that legalizes the status of the lawbreakers and allows them to stay and work here-the object of their crime-is amnesty. Citizenship is just an add-on.

Citizenship gives them the vote.

Once they are legalized, it will only be a matter of time before that happens no matter how the legislators write the bill. The Dems will use it against Reps once legalization occurs. And how can anyone trust Obama to enforce anything when he choose which laws to enforce and not enforce and uses Executive Orders to legislate and create laws outside the Constitution?

The current example is Obamacare as Obama decides which parts of the law to implement and which to delay or ignore. Congress has failed to challenge this unconstitutional use of authority.

RE :”For which he should be impeached”

??? Impeachment is a political act. Those who control congress get to decide that and guess what??.

[kabar]

Right. We have 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies who are immediately US citizens thru birthright citizenship. They are entitled to Medicaid, food stamps, and any other benefit as an American citizen.

[central_va]

Let’s get it over with and annex Mexico.

[kabar]

That's my point. Why pass any immigration bill, no matter how well-written and conditioned, if the person responsible for enforcing it has proven he has no respect for the Rule of Law? The failure of the Congress to impeach Obama over his backdoor amnesty and his unilateral Obamacare revisions should give anyone pause.

Why the Reps would be hell-bent on moving ahead with immigration legislation tells me that their corporate paymasters are running the show and the American people be damned. With over 20 million Americans underemployed or unemployed, it makes no sense to double the guest worker program and almost triple legal immigration over the next decade. And it is not good politics for the GOP.

"Let’s get it over with and annex Mexico."

Actually Mexico is annexing us, at least the southern part of the USA anyway. South Texas and south Cali are already effective under Mexican control.

Funny you should mention that. Remember when Republicans thought the POTUS picking and choosing that was a great idea?

Yes, I cant imagine why the GOP House wouldnt impeach Obama for refusing to enforce parts of the law he doesnt like.

I dont recall our Legal scholar mark Levin complaining about it in 2006, OOOPPPPS, maybe the constitution changed January 2009 LOL.

[CatherineofAragon]

Just another in a long line of traitorous GOP bastards.

[CatherineofAragon]

"I’m never again voting for a non tea party approved candidate."

"I won’t do any more volunteer work for the GOP."

Your sentiments are the same as those of my husband and me. In two weeks, we're going to the polls to vote for Ken Cuccinelli for governor; Ken has a solid conservative record. After that, unless the presidential nominee is Ted Cruz or someone comparable, forget it. We're not playing along with the destruction of the country.

[CatherineofAragon]

Selective memory? Mitt’s oft-repeated stance was repeal and REPLACE Obamacare...presumably with something similar to his socialized Massachusetts program.

BTW, why all caps all the time?

[kabar]

What laws did Bush choose not to enforce?

[sickoflibs]

George W. Bush's use of signing statements was and is controversial, both for the number of times employed (over 700 opinions, although President Clinton actually issued more [14]) and for the apparent attempt to nullify legal restrictions on his actions through claims made in the statements — for example, his signing statement attached to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. Some opponents have said that he in effect uses signing statements as a line-item veto; the Supreme Court had previously ruled such vetoes as unconstitutional in the 1998 case, Clinton v. City of New York.[15]
Previous administrations had made use of signing statements to dispute the validity of a new law or its individual components. George H. W. Bush challenged 232 statutes through signing statements during four years in office and Clinton challenged 140 over eight years. George W. Bush's 130 signing statements contain at least 1,100 challenges.[11][16]
