Tonight on national television Barack Obama will give away what your grandparents worked to get.
He will spit in the face of the Statue of Liberty, repudiate the spirit of Ellis Island, and throw rule of law out the window.
Tonight, by royal decree, Barack Obama will bestow amnesty on millions and millions of illegal aliens.
It is astounding act of arrogance by a president who was repudiated just two weeks ago by an electorate that has no confidence in him. With no mandate and no discussion, the people and the Congress have been left out of a society-changing decree that may forever alter the ability of the United States to control its border and determine its population.
Basically, it’s like somebody breaking into your house and you being ordered by the mayor to let this person stay in your house, with no penalty or removal.
For years, foreigners have purposefully overstayed visas, shown up pregnant to have their anchor babies, and lived under the radar of deportation. Now they are being rewarded for their crimes. Bad is good and good is bad and anybody who can get across the river has a good chance of staying.
Because Barack Obama says so.
A president whose father, aunt and uncle have been illegal aliens in this country has essentially authorized the legalization of enough sneak-ins to populate an average-sized state.
I wonder why.
What explains this? Why is he doing it, why is he doing it this way, and why is he doing it now?
If the president’s assertion is that he is driven by moral reasons to issue his executive order, to protect the interests of these people, where has he been the last six years? If they have to be protected today, why didn’t they have to be protected yesterday?
Why has he let three-quarters of his administration pass before doing anything for illegals?
And why did he wait until after the election? If he knew this was coming – and he clearly did – was his concealment of that fact to shape the outcome of an election an act of moral fraud or dishonesty?
Also, given the repeated warning from congressional Republicans not to do this, and given their looming power in Washington, how smart was it to start this peeing match? Why would a president nuke his relationship with congressional majorities over something like this?
Was it all about politics?
Is the president so cynical and so shallow as to believe that whoever grants the most amnesty gets the most Latino voters? Is this some grab to make Latinos, like blacks, the political property of the Democratic Party?
And if he really cared about immigration or the people caught in the failings of our current immigration system, wouldn’t he work something out with Congress, instead of sour Congress on the whole subject?
And on the political note, he has spent the last six years blaming everything on Republicans. Issue after issue, the problem is, the president claims, evil, racist, obstructionist Republicans who can no longer be tolerated.
This will be one more of those.
Evil Republicans didn’t do it his way, so he is going to do it his way.
If that’s his plan, he’s not a very smart guy. Because the vilification of Republicans has resulted in American electing more Republicans to legislative office than at any other time in American history. The narrative that the Republicans are the bad guys didn’t work on Election Day.
And yet he is using it some more.
He is flipping off the Congress, and the majority of Americans who opposed amnesty for illegal aliens.
Without legislative support, without popular support, without even trying to build public support, he is going forward with his plan.
And at that point it stops being about amnesty and immigration, and it starts being about an oppressive autocrat who is deaf to common sense, even when it comes from the members of his own party who tried to warn him away.
Barack Obama is a god unto himself.
And tonight he will lecture us.
And a simmering public debate of many years standing is pushed aside by a president who doesn’t give a damn about what people think.
Actually, you are partially wrong. Obama does have “slave heritage,” just not in the U.S. The Africans who defeated rival tribes sold their conquests to the slave traders, and the African Muslims figured prominently in the slave trade industry. In fact, they still do, and the slave trade is booming in Kenya even now.
I think it was already proven Obamas Kenyan/Arab ancestors were slave owners and traders not slaves themselves...
But he’s still part of the “slave heritage.” Just on the other side!
Yes but his Arab ancestors were the ones selling the slaves....not slaves.
That is what I said. He has “slave heritage” because his ancestors sold slaves!
” Don’t forget about the planned half million H1B visas to come! 500,000 to take whats left of out technology jobs.”
Correct
“This bathhouse pole smoker is destroying the middle class on purpose. He is bringing in millions of non English speaking illegals with no skills or education. They are going to take away even more jobs from the millions of Americans who are out of work. In the world of liberal ass munchers there will only be the very rich and very poor. The middle will not exist anymore.”
Obama’s #1 goal is to destroy the middle class.
This process should begin tonight, within one hour after his speech.
Impeach. Remove from office. Arrest. Convict. Imprison for life.

Isn’t that the truth.
I remember when Nixon was approached by the leaders in the Republican party that it would be best for the country if he stepped down. I don’t see that happening for the Democrats and that could be a footnote in history as a time this all could have been avoided but it wasn’t.
The deomcrats are a different bunch. I can’t relate to them. Their thinking is as foreign to me as eating burnt toast. I don’t think they are in any way related to the party members like Truman and Kennedy.
The plan should be no compromise, no negotiation. We beat them.
I’m curious to see if any of them will step up and speak out against the lawlessness of Obama.
I’m curious to see if one reporter will as the big “why”? Why now? Why not wait until the new congress comes in? We all know the answer, but I’d like to see this guy answer.
The House to....
And, mandatory prison time for US employers who hire and pay illegals.
In July 1640 John Punch/Bunch was made “the first official slave of the English colonies” ???
What about Phoebe Sales of Massachusetts ???
She was made an “official slave” in 1633 at age 7..
sold to another master at about age 12...
My ancestor...
Whoops she was white..
and what about the group of African slaves that arrived in Virginia in 1619 ???
No official set them free but rather allowed them to be sold to colonial masters...
BTW Ancestry is renown for the errors...
