Obama Likely to Push Immigrant Amnesty After Midterms

In the days following the midterm election, President Obama may be preparing to spring controversial decisions on the American people including immigration amnesty and the choice for a new attorney general replacing Eric Holder.

"It’s extraordinary that he is thinking about taking certain types of action that will have broad effects on our economy, on the makeup of our country, on virtually every aspect of American life," Richard Kelsey, assistant dean at the George Mason University School, told The Washington Times.

The most far-reaching change on the White House agenda is the president’s plan to issue an executive order effectively granting amnesty to at least some of the estimated 11 million illegal aliens living in the United States. Obama had initially planned to take action in September but decided not to do so after embattled Democratic lawmakers protested it would create a popular backlash that could doom their re-election chances.

The administration has given no indication how expansive the amnesty would be, although the Homeland Security Department has reportedly purchased enough paper to print more than 4 million visa and green cards next year. The documents would enable illegals to legally work in the United States and possibly qualify for some federal benefits.

Such a move is likely to trigger an intense political battle with Republicans, uniting amnesty opponents like Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions with lawmakers like Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Marco Rubio of Florida, all of whom supported last year’s controversial "Gang of 8" bill. The measure, backed by the Obama administration, would have provided a path to citizenship for millions of illegals.

I’m sure Commie and whitey-hater Thomas Perez as new DOJ AG will be more than happy to help him with that.

Everyone needs to understand the gravity of this action to the fate of the Republic.

Even if Republicans control the Congress and the WH in 2016 this will not be undone.

There are possibly 30 million or more illegals in the US now. They will be eligible to work legally and to collect welfare, to bring in family members.

Every female will drop an anchor baby or fraudulently appear do so and they will never be sent home.

Legal complexities will allow anyone to stay for years or forever.

There will be a human tidal wave over the borders, not only from Mexico and Central America but also from every 3rd world country on earth.

Every jihadi government and terrorist entity will be sending families here the day after amnesty.

This is nothing less than an in your face attack on America.

Of course, you understand that the [insert abusive, lying epithet here]-ist™ scum who parade themselves as the People of the United States deserve to lose their country, their name, and their history, because, well, you know. And if you don’t know, you certainly don’t deserve an explanation. (/evil)

I don’t get why people will accept amnesty. Stories about illegals murdering people, robbing people, driving drunk and running over people, etc. are in the news every day. Why do people want to legitimize these criminals? I don’t get it.

Well, when the seat of government squats and pees on the rule of law, you have top down anarchy.

Is that more acceptable than bottom up anarchy?

... and we’re off to the races ...

“Obama Likely to Push Immigrant Amnesty After Midterms”

And that won’t be all! Electing a homosexual child for two terms, we gotta expect a double tantrum for losing the Senate in the beginning of his last two years.

His message will be: oh yeah, take this, and this, and this...

His final act would be issuing the most outrageous pardons as part of “take this...” Expect luminaries like Mumia Abu Jamal, O. J. Simpson, Lois Lerner and hundreds of criminals and drug dealers.

Unfortunately, Republicans don’t have the spines to stop him. They have media fear syndrome and always “the next election” excuse that’s every two years.

He has no constitutional authority to do this. But the GOPe will not do a damn thing to stop it, so it’s a done deal.

We now live in a post-constitutional republic. We are now a banana republic.

“Why do people want to legitimize these criminals? I don’t get it.”

The PEOPLE don’t want to legitimize these criminals, but politicians and some CEOs do, and that seems to be all that counts.

If Obama tries amnesty by EO he needs to be physically removed from office and the Congress should threaten him with it. I’m not talking impeachment here folks.

Yup. He knows Boehner wants amnesty so the house won't fight and if he gets it in prior to January he has the Senate in his pocket too. This is his last sure chance.
