Five GOP immigration myths
The Boston Globe ^ | December 15, 2014 | Laila Hlass

Posted on 12/15/2014 6:38:05 AM PST by EveningStar

On Nov. 20, President Obama announced an executive action on immigration to provide temporary protection (“deferred action”) from deportation and permission to work for some parents of United States citizens and legal permanent residents. The order also expands the existing “DACA” program benefiting the so-called DREAMers — high achieving young people brought to the United States as children. These two programs could affect up to 5 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States.

The outcry from Republicans over Obama’s plans has been deafening. Congressional Republicans responded by holding a hearing to rail against the program. They’ve threatened a range of next moves, from defunding US Citizen and Immigration Services to impeachment. On Dec. 4, the House voted largely along party lines to pass a bill attempting to block the executive action ...

MYTH #! - “There are only about 12 million illegals in the USA

We have been hearing that same number from the government for over 20 years.
Yet we have also been told that there are about 1 million new illegals moving in every year.

We are eventually going to find out there are somewhere between 30 and 40 million illegals here.

She's not a 'reporter'. She is a liberal zealot.

From her '06 repertoire:

Laila Hlass is a clinical teaching fellow at Georgetown University Law Center's Center for Applied Legal Studies where she teaches and supervises law students representing asylum seekers.

In other words, a zealot lawyer/politico who makes money off giving away this country's sovereignty.

.....the ‘Reporter’ avoided saying Illegal children who just arrived....

Good point.

Last fall, thousands surrounded the MA State House protesting the border onslaught. Uber-liberal MA taxpayers were understandably upset: Adult illegals, swarming the border, trucked into MA, were posing as "unaccompanied alien children," and were attempting to enroll in MA public high schools.

“Some of them had gray hair, saying they’re 17 years old, and have no documentation,” said the Lynn mayor’s office. School policy is to check w/ family----who confirmed at least one HS enrollee was a 35-year old adult.

REALITY CHECK Gray-haired Guatemalan men enrolling in MA schools? More like drug lords infiltrating schools---planning to set up lifelong lucrative businesses getting kids addicted......giving out free samples. Could also be sex traffickers ---lining up kiddies for johns (and for pedophiles) who pay big bucks to get ahold of the little white darlings.

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

RUBBER-STAMPED BY OBAMA It has been verified that the border-jumpers, emanating from 144 antediluvian disease-ridden countries, are carriers of TB, Ebola,Chikungunya, Dengue fever, Norovirus. Hantavirus, Swine flu, Varicella. Variola, E-coli.......and childhood diseases America stamped out years ago.

The Obama admin has kept secret:

<><> the medical conditions of minors transported to US schools....

<><> the contagion status of contaminated US border-holding facilities....

<><> the contaminated public transportation used to relocate minors.......

<><> dangers to Americans from contaminated illegals handling our food, merchandise....

<><> cost to taxpayers forced to subsidize contagious children in their classrooms....

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

Ebola. Chikungunya. Dengue. Norovirus. Hantavirus. Swine flu. Varicella. Variola. The names sound like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. Yet, threats to Americans are real, and escalating by the week.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported on August 1 that serious diseases are spreading at detention centers for Illegal border crossers.

Health care workers and Border Patrol agents, plus their children, have tested positive for tuberculosis (TB), swine flu, chicken pox, lice and scabies. Instead of being quarantined, illegal border crossers are being dispersed rapidly across the US, with infected school age invaders being registered in public schools.

Now that ALL of the GOP Rinos came out of the shadows and voted with the Democrats to prop up Obama and do the bidding for Wall Street we can be assured that there will be plenty of part-time jobs available at minimum wage.

Re: “The outcry from Republicans over Obama’s plans has been deafening.”

Is the author serious?

The GOP just funded most of Obama’s plans!

The GOP leadership, and the GOP Congressmen who elected them, clearly support Amnesty.

Ted Cruz gave a speech in El Paso last year. He said he would support the Gang of Eight Amnesty if border security was “certified,” and if there was “no path to citizenship.”

Those are the two political fig leaves that EVERY Republican knows will never be enforced once an Amnesty bill passes Congress or Obama signs the Executive Order.

A Big Myth: Obama officially signed an executive order granting amnesty to illegal aliens in Nov. 2014.

I believe it is a Myth because we haven't seen the signed order yet.

If I am mistaken and Obama has signed it, please tell me when he signed it and where I can see it on the internet.

Enthusiastically spread the word about the “Protest Against Obama Amnesty” rally across America for 2015-01-03 ... Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee (et al) will GREATLY appreciate our support ... A great Patriot turn-out WILL encourage the Senate and House GOP to dump McConnell and Boehner ... God Bless America ... Facebook page “Obama Amnesty National Protest : 2015-01-03” ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=680NlRI3v2I ... Thanks to All !!!
