The 11 million illegal aliens that Obama intends to grant Amnesty is equal to the population of Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, DC, Vermont, and Wyoming combined.

Obama is p*ssing off his own voters.

GOP stand up for American jobs, and run on this.

The Dems are AOL on jobs.

The problem is the GOP is not engaged. I mean great you won the election, but BE FOR JOBS.

Jobs.

Carly Fiorino on Fox-Sunday said it best-—E/O’ing amnesty is Obama’s billy club to bash Repubs-—to bloody-up the party he despises.

He’s even more desperate to beat-up Repubs-—after the resounding drubbing he received at the pols on Tuesday.

Perfectly stated. Also, even if his premise were true it does not mean they should receive special treatment.

“If the benefits dry up they will self deport.”

They will not sign up for amnesty unless it is profitable for them to do so. Without amnesty they can work under the table, get medical care for free, and apply for benefits for themselves and their kids. If they sign up for amnesty, they have to be at least partially accountable. Why do that?

How does it profit them if they sign up for amnesty? They won’t be deported if they don’t.

Sen Jeff Sessions Warns of ‘Chilling’ Obama Immigration Plotting
NRO.online.com -- By Joel Gehrke --8/19/14

Senator Jeff Sessions (Rep- Ala) (before midterms) called for Americans to pressure their senators about voting against President Obama’s expected executive orders on immigration, which he described as a “chilling” plot with activists to undermine national laws.

“Recent developments suggest the president’s planned executive amnesty could be increasingly imminent and broad in scope. House Democrat Leader Pelosi — clearly one of the White House’s closest allies — has just urged the president to issue ‘the broadest possible’ executive actions,” Sessions said in a statement on Wednesday.

“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 Associated Press report that administration officials were meeting with immigration activists and the Chamber of Commerce.

“It is chilling to consider now that these open-border groups, frustrated in their aims by our Constitutional system of government, are plotting with the Obama administration to collect their spoils through executive fiat,” Sen Sessions said.

Sessions issued the statement in an attempt to build pressure on Democrats, especially red-state senators facing reelection, to force a vote on the House-passed bill to prevent Obama from expanding DACA or issuing any work permits to illegal immigrants.

“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.

Sen Sessions exhorted Americans: “That begins with asking a simple question: Where do your senators stand?”

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA A sweet irony---the "party of the people" lacerated, and dumped, by "the people."

What the Republican takeover looks like as of midnight 11/5---some states still undecided

Midterm Map courtesy of http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/here-s-what-a-republican-takeover-looks-likes-20141105

MIDTERM WRAP-UP The treasure trove of The Midterm Democrat Demolition in the Congress and down-ticket have yet to be fully- mined. But this we know:

<><> Astute Political analyst Chris Stirewalt nailed it on The Kelly File---Obama (and all the loser Dems) still can't fathom what happened---that their misspent lives as Democrats are going to change dramatically.

<><> When the next Senate convenes, 25 lock-stepping Democrats will be gone;

<><> the GOP's majority in the House will be so big and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Democrats won't be able to recapture it until at least 2022.

<><> Some say Republicans have a 100-year majority.

Thank you Sen Sessions.

THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL----STOP OBAMA IN HIS TRACKS :

(1) Fund every penny that is budgeted now.....except defund all DHS, ICE, HHS and USCIS' rubber-stamp activities. Defund anything and everything that directly and indirectly deals with amnesty: work permits, green cards for illegals, gravy train federal subsidies, re-situating unaccompanied minors w/ families. Then let Obama defend his amnesty E/O or take the blame for the entire shutdown himself.

(2) As a further warning----no votes on ANY Obama nominees until Jan 20, 2017. No judges, No Attorney General, no sub-cabinet secretaries. NOTHING----thanks to the SCOTUS ruling, Obama could not recess-appoint ANYONE, if the House declares the Congress is always in session.

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

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), has set up an active war room dedicated to undermining Obama's plans on immigration, and is next in line to chair the Budget Committee. From that perch, he would have the power to set spending parameters that undermine the president's moves.

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

Here's some ammunition for the fight, Senator Jeff:

Americans demand their government and its duly-elected legislators escape the Third World stranglehold burdening us. America belongs to its lawful citizens---not a bunch of greedy criminal invaders salivating to board the US gravy train.

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

.....a secret draft solicitation for bids issued Oct 6 by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS---a DHS agency) states potential vendors must be capable of handling a “surge” scenario of 9 million ID cards in one year “to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements” ..... the Obama administration has quietly begun preparing to issue millions of work authorization permits, suggesting the implementation of a large-scale executive amnesty may have already begun...

ACTION ALERT: USCIS is headed by Obama appointee---Leon Rodrigues--Obama's errand boy. Rodrigues is rubber- stamping undesirables from 144 countries into the US....including those from contagion-ridden Central America and Ebola- stricken countries. During FY 2013, the DHS website showed US Border Patrol agents apprehended 112 immigrants from Guinea, 231 from Liberia and 145 immigrants from Sierra Leone,----three countries currently experiencing the most cases of Ebola.

SIGNIFICANTLY USCIS Rodrigues also oversees EB-5 visas. Under Rodrigues' purview---EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:

ARE OBAMA/RODRIGUES SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS-(b) ISIS TERRORISTS---(c) CONTAGIOUS ALIENS ?--

In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (REPUB--IOWA) said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

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

Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a latino-centric advocacy group---pushing for unlimited immigration, and has connections to nationwide immigrant groups.

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

ACTION--CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE WEB SITE---YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> Taxpayers demand Rodriguez, USCIS, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated. Supboena official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

<><> Taxpayers demand to know if tax-paid Leon Rodriguez, and the aforementioned tax-funded groups, (1) are consorting with violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt, (2) and/or are paid agents of foreign governments.

<><> TAXPAYERS demand to know who these people are communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

The headline bothers me.

Whatever the executive branch would do on immigration, by definition would not be “reform”.

Reform could only be achieved by firstly emanating from the legislative branch in the form of a law, which the executive branch would then be obliged to enforce.

We should not allow the word “reform” to be associated with anything Obama would do related to immigration. His action would be extra-legal, illegal, anti-constitutional, or unconstitutional. Allowing this action to be called “reform” is aiding the leftist cause.

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

***

I'm tired of these phrases like “everyone agrees” or “everyone wants.” Who are all these people who agree with him? How does he know what everyone wants? I know what I want and it isn't his brand of “immigration reform.” I want enforcement of the laws we already have. I want a secure border with a wall and more border agents who are not impeded by political nonsense from doing their jobs. And I want to ensure that a dictator wannabe like Obama cannot just flaunt the law and grant amnesty to anyone he pleases.

And that 11 million number is underestimated by a factor of two or three. Add in the effects of chain migration and the total number balloons to something like 75 million.

We are doomed to the politics of Latin American voters.

The greyhound bus company transports 1 billion passengers a year. Dont dare tell me we dont have the capacity to deport 11 million illegals.

I really fail to see the issue. If we start wholesale deportations, along with denial of taxpayer funded food, education, transportation, shelter, etc., most will leave of their own accord.

Genuine hardship cases could be considered in deportation hearings; the process does not need to be heartless, but it does need to be steadfast and relentless over at least two to four years.

Other countries manage to control their borders; even Mexico. I refuse to imagine that we are incapable of doing the same.
