America Disagrees with You, Mr. President
Townhall.com ^ | September 5, 2014 | Mike Shedlock

On August 28-29, in a national survey of likely voters, Rasmussen asked Five Questions on Immigration Amnesty.

  1. How closely have you followed recent news reports about President Obama and illegal immigration?
  2. According to news reports, President Obama is considering granting amnesty to several million illegal immigrants without the approval of Congress. Do you favor or oppose the president granting such an amnesty?
  3. Does the president have the legal authority to grant amnesty to several million illegal immigrants without the approval of Congress?
  4. If the president does grant amnesty to these illegal immigrants, should Congress challenge that action in court?
  5. Which should come first – securing the border to prevent future illegal immigration or amnesty for some illegal immigrants now in this country?

Results

Results show Voters Strongly Oppose Obama's Amnesty Plan for Illegal Immigrants.

Obama's Plan Approval


Legal Authority to Act Without Congress


If Obama Acts Without Congressional Approval


Which Should Come First


Voters disagree with Obama on every aspect of immigration, even to the point of asking for a Congressional challenge in court should the president act alone.
Will this stop Obama?

Nothing has yet. Will it be different this time?

America is not going to be America much longer.

The America that’s coming will agree with him.

The left spent the 2000s calling President George W Bush “Mr. Bush,” in effect refusing to give him the honor of the office he held.

Why are we allowing Obama to be addressed as “President?” As far as I’m concerned Obama is not the President, having failed to meet Article II requirements.

Most people are clueless about this and pretty much anything else.

When Obama pulls the trigger, nobody will do a thing about it. People only Riot in the Streets when they think Whitey done them wrong.

Polls, smoles. The idea that over 10% have no problem with any of this scheme only shows how far this Country has fallen.

But have no fear, we will discuss the inevitable to death.

The Kenyan farts back.

And so far, everyone keeps breathing it in. In fact, the GOPe has created special gas-trapping devices that actually pull the smell in and concentrate it.

The king cares not what the lowly serf desires, the king will tell the serf what is good for him. Now shut up serf and fund the kings vacations, golf and parties.

“Why are we allowing Obama to be addressed as “President?”

Because we can’t seem to get our heads out of our, well...you know. Nevertheless, addressing him as such is an “individual choice”.

The 12th Amendment to the Constitution states that whoever receives a majority of the votes of the electors “shall be the president.” Obviously any challenges to eligibility of a candidate or a president-elect under Article Two, Section One must take place before the electors vote in December of an election year.
Also Congress can challenge the certification of a candidate’s electors on any grounds. There were no challenges to Obama’s electors in either 2009 or in 2013.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

This is why we have to go out and vote conservative, but not third party

I used to run focus groups, and if the people, who paid for the focus group, really wanted to know how customers/voters felt they would listen to what the focus groups told them.

Apparently, a lot of Congressits ran focus groups on how their independent voters felt about Obozo granting amnesty to millions of illegals.

They listen to the results and met with Herr Obozo behind closed doors, and he ran away from amnesty until after the elections.

It is a myth that “Latinos” are natural conservatives. They have always voted 2 t0 1 democrat.
