Obama Says He'll Use Executive Orders For Immigration Reform
NPR ^ | November 9, 2014 | by Sam Sanders

Posted on 11/10/2014 3:00:20 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

President Obama said once again that he won't wait on Congress to start making changes to America's immigration system. In an appearance Sunday on CBS' Face The Nation, Obama stood by his recent statements that he'll use executive action to enact changes before the end of the year, but told host Bob Schieffer that he still wants Congress to act on the issue, too.

Everyone agrees, Obama said, that the U.S. doesn't have the capacity to deport 11 million people.

You of course see the issue quite clearly—it is the sellout of our Leftist and crony capitalist politicians.

With the court system the way it is it will be difficult for congress to box Obama in legislatively, assuming they can override his veto. Impeachment may be the only option.

We are doomed to the politics of Latin American voters.

The elites do quite well in Latin American banana republics as long as they pay for political protection and have private security. Importing this kind of moral and economic corruption is what Marxist's have wanted for America for 100 years.

Actually, this works out brilliantly for the Republican Party -- though not in a good way.

The GOP leadership is firmly hitched to the pro-amnesty agenda. Their biggest challenge on that front is that they would pay a steep political price for legislating it from their end. The Obama administration's threatened imposition of amnesty through executive order covers the GOP in so many ways. They get amnesty (which they want) anyway, and they can blame Obama for it rather than face their own supporters over it.

And 25 years from now, the last of the white Democrats will look back and point as the jug-eared Kenyan exchange student as the one who finally pushed them out of the party of their ancestors.

Oh, absolutely—they are supremely confident that such political changes won’t hurt them in the least.

It's appalling that, if Obama does what he says, he'll take his executive action after a 10-day escape from DC. He'll come back, say the 'pubs wouldn't negotiate, and do his thing.

There are some great minds on our side. They have got to stop any executive order about this. Our real problem, I fear, is the RINO backstabbers who want our votes but actually support the invasion of the US.

None of this would be happening if John Boehner were alive.

NYT headlines: Democrats Must Embrace Latinos and Obama's Immigration Reform.

Mmmmm......a plus-perfect partnership---they got what it takes----since Democrats and latinos are both toiling mightily to overthrow the US government.

====================================================

OBAMA's AMNESTY E/O---A US OCCUPIED BY THIRD WORLD MILITANTS "Once Congress approves an increase in immigration, we will demand more, said Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Chicago), a leading advocate of the immigration reform.

“The next day after we pass immigration reform, you know we’re not going to be satisfied, we’re going to come back,” he said. “We’re going to have a civil rights act, we’re going to have a voting rights act… Nobody is leaving this fight once we conclude this first chapter,” he said. “Hopefully, in 30 years, [we] can bring immigrants… from all over the world,” Gutierrez said.

Gutierrez is paid well as an agent of a foreign government-—conspiring and colluding w/ collaborators to overthrow the US govt....but Generalissimo Gutierrez plumb forgot to mention the militants are gathered at the Mexican border, lying-in-wait to wreak havoc.

A barrage of savages, brigands, barbarians and thieves is ready to foment a takeover; to soak taxpayers and cheat the US govt---wire transfers at the ready to drain US dollars into Third World hellholes----including US foreign aid, food stamp foreign aid, EITC SS, SSI, UI, welfare checks, etc, etc, etc.

===================================================

The Third World is motivated by envy and greed.....an ancient formula going back to Greco/Roman times: targeting a powerful, thriving bountiful country; lusting after the country's power and riches; sending in its forces under various covert pretexts. Read on.

Guatemalan President Otto Perez warned the US will be
inundated w/ even more contagious illegals if billions
of US tax dollars are not handed over.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

It will be a lot more than 11 million when you count all the family members that will come across. Actually I bet the number right now is closer to 50 million. Double or triple that when it’s all over.

Like homosexuals, the white Democrat birth rate is far below replacement levels. If Democrats did not recruit and groom replacements they would have already joined their Neanderthal ancestors and gone extinct.

If Boehner allows one penny of funding for this dictatorial move on Obama’s agenda, Boehner should lose his Speaker’s post. Let Obama pay for all the benefits for the illegal aliens out of his “stash.” That ought to really tick off the Democrat Black base.

It is not immigration reform, it is failing to enforce the law

We can stop this if we get Ted Cruz in as Senate Leader and Trey Gowdy in as House Leader...and what has happened to all the bills sent from the House to the Senate in the past 8 years? Still sitting on Dirty Harry’s desk I guess?

As the Muslim Prez said the other day: “ I have waited for the bills from the House and I haven’t seen any” well, why doesn’t he ask Dirty Harry?

President Obama said once again that he won't wait on Congress to start making changes to America's immigration system.

The "army" of illegal aliens has been here for decades. There is no urgency to deal with them. There IS urgency in securing our borders to stop the influx that has been continuing since 1988 or earlier.

Common sense says to stop the leak, confirm that has occurred. In the past the Democrats have promised to stop the leak but they do nothing, or they pass a law to stop the leak and then defund it, because they want open borders.

Stop the leak; deport illegal aliens who are convicted criminals (30% of inmates currently in jail).

Then take the time necessary to develop a policy to deal in a fair way with the illegal immigrants currently in our country; be fair to those who waited in line to gain their citizenship in a legal manner.

Why is this so difficult for our lawmakers? It is what fair minded people want, I would think.

Should conservatives mention the success of the old “Operation Wetback”?

That was very successful.

Or, we could just put a bounty on each one - you get whatever they have, so that the illegal alien could effectively finance the bounty payment.

1 billion people a year is 2.7 million people per day.

At that rate, transporting 11 million illegals would take them a little more than 4 days.
