Now that President Barack Obama has broken his promise to take executive action on immigration, and put off the thorny issue until after the midterm elections -- and I predict, for the remainder of his presidency -- many immigration reform advocates are angry, surprised and disappointed.

Once you see through the political fog on the immigration debate, you realize that Republican presidents are a better bet for delivering reform. Three reasons:
First, ignore what politicians say and watch what they do. Democrats campaign as soft on illegal immigrants, but they're tough on them once in office. Republicans campaign as tough on illegal immigrants, but they're soft on them once in office.
Second, look at history. In 1986, it was a Republican president, Ronald Reagan, who signed an "amnesty" bill into law. Twenty years later, it was another Republican, George W. Bush, who boldly kicked off the modern debate over comprehensive immigration reform by proposing legal status for the undocumented.
Meanwhile, it was a Democrat, Bill Clinton, who militarized the border with Operation Gatekeeper in 1994 and signed a 1996 immigration law that made it easier to deport people and harder to return.
Now we have another Democrat, Barack Obama, who has deported more than 2 million people, roped local police into enforcing immigration law through the program known as Secure Communities and shipped thousands of child refugees back to Central America without due process.
Third, understand human nature. Republicans don't love immigrants. But they love business, and business loves immigrants. Meanwhile, Democrats don't hate immigrants. But they love unions, and unions hate immigrants.

Like we need this idiot telling Repubs what to do.
8/13/14 -- NRO.online.com -- Sen Jeff Sessions Warns of ‘Chilling’ Obama Immigration Plotting / By Joel Gehrke Sen Sessions (Rep-Ala.) called for Americans to pressure their senators to vote against Obama’s expected executive orders on immigration, which Sessions described as a “chilling” plot---colluding with latino activists to undermine national laws (and US national security).
“Open-borders groups have grown bolder and louder in their unlawful demands, launching a campaign for the president to ‘go big,’ and demanding that he ‘stand up’ to Congress and ‘expand DACA,’” he added, citing an AP report that administration officials were meeting with immigration activists, and the Chamber of Commerce. “It is chilling to consider now that these groups, frustrated in their aims by our Constitutional system of government, are plotting with the Obama administration to collect their spoils through executive fiat,” he said.
“The steps that must be taken are clear: the Senate must vote on the House-passed measure to stop these unlawful actions. It is true that Majority Leader Reid is blocking it from a vote. But Reid acts only with the blessing of his members in the Democrat conference — so the American people have the power to force it to a vote through their elected senators,” Sessions said. “That begins with asking a simple question: Where do your senators stand?”

Hilarious. As their rolls of indigenous members continue to decline, unions see illegals as their saving grace. To public employee unions illegals are an endless source of job security.
I sincerely hope the writer one day extricates his head from his posterior, 'cause its lodged up there pretty good.
I have a new tagline that explains liberal logic perfectly.
The Pandering here in this article is just stunning!
The majority of illegals are in the service industry, the unions are actively trying to organize them. All that is stopping it is their illegal status, unions want amnesty.
Navarette is a long time La Raza water carrier and racist. He’s just pushing the latest post mid term EO amnesty button that Obama devised.
Lets blame Abe Lincoln, Nixon, Ron Reagan and GW for this outrage.
Pure left wing bs.
The writer needs to have a drug test run on a regular basis.

History this...
in the 80’s they (senate and the house) as PART of the condition of the Amnesty bill PROMISED to ENFORCE the border and tighten border security...
Reagan was then promptly betrayed in the years following by them (senate and house) pulling funding for the enforcement...
This writer is a piece of work. The reason Obama waited until his second term to do this is because he could not do it and get reelected. Comprehensive amnesty and border destruction “reform” was always high up on his field. The writer is or has been a writer for Copley news service which is the San Diego based Conservative leaning paper(or at least it used to be). My understanding based on limited exposure tohim) is that he is basically on our side but is the staff Latino so he has to be a champion of their concerns. Serving two masters is a hard place for him to be but what you see is this.
================================================
La Raza does not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans:
Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).
===============================================
La Raza has its greedy claws on our tax dollars....they got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for so-called "mortgage counseling."
The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly colluded w/ La Raza.
The CHC launched a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. Conspiract and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.
La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
The ability of CNN to construct alternate realities on the fly continues to amaze.
