Behind the Scenes of Obama's Sudden Immigration Reversal

The Atlantic ^

[TigerClaws]

More than a dozen center-left and hard-left immigration groups sent representatives to what sounded like another uninspiring strategy session in the White House's Roosevelt Room with senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and Cecilia Munoz, head of the Domestic Policy Council.

It was early on the afternoon of June 30, and none of the participants seated around the long rectangular table had any inkling President Obama was pissed. They would soon find out. Moreover, they would discover, to their surprise, that Obama was no longer pissed at them, but with them. This being a meeting of Democratic allies, of course, some of the groups eventually found a way to get Obama pissed off at them all over again—over the issue of unaccompanied minors at the border.

But first, the story of the day was that Obama became unplugged on immigration, took his temper off mute, shook up the underlying base politics of the next two elections, and turned up to boil his long-simmering feud with Republicans over the constitutional limits of executive power.

Obama told the group that Boehner had informed him on June 24 there would be no votes on immigration before the midterm election but that he believed there was a good chance a comprehensive bill could pass in the next Congress. The president also told the group that Boehner urged him not to press ahead with executive action because that would make legislating more difficult next year.

Another Obama lie because we, here at FR, saw the DHS January, 2014, request for escorts for minor children. He knew. The Whitehouse knew and probably the Democrats knew.

It's typical Obamacrapola: say one thing---do another.

I do believe he is being pressured by Dummycrats who cannot afford another lock-stepping issue.

Dum-dums are still smarting from marching smartly---heels clicking-- behind der leader on Obamacare---which turned out to be a blunder of Ceausescuian proportions.

Other than the usual looney-tunes like Pelosi and the lollipop licker from Texas----there does not seem to be a whole lot of Dummies supporting the invasion.

Never before in American history has there been a President so dedicated to undermining the Nation.

He has encouraged an illegal alien invasion, and relentlessly works to destroy the economic, military, and moral foundation of the United States.

It will take lots of work to undo the damage this fiend has wrought, but it must be undone, and any Republican who is not up to the job needs to be tossed overboard.

I believe that is part , and parcel of "leveling the field "
Re-introduce disease and pestilence, more FEDGov. regulations, control healthcare, weaken the economy , and ignore "law of the land", ignore soverignty
weaken our friends and committments , strengthen our enemies with arms, create CHAOS, play Whack-a-mole legislatively, assist an invasion,
blame others for shortcommings, ignore what you have created , and what do you have ?
- a bananna republic , or ,
