Yeah, that’s it. Real profiles in courage, huh?
“Bottom line—Registered Republicans and the precious Independents are overwhelmingly against amnesty; so, naturally, the GOP-e is embracing it.”
Follow the money.
My understanding is that any executive order can be reversed by the next executive. While a lot of illegals will stay deportation of some can be accelerated not to mention the ease of shutting down the border afterwards!!
Junk poll. It’s telephone and all adults, not Likely Voters. It included Hispanics. This means that Likely Voters are really against it.
That's a nonsense stat. We've got plenty of room for hard working, small government, liberty loving types. It's welfare kings and queens we need less of.
I don't believe any of them. The border's been wide open for 50 years and neither party has done a single thing about it and these border-jumpers have been crossing as fast as they could.
It's a LOT closer to the 40 million than the 11 million.
If the MSM would show what is really going on at the border and across the country, the opposition numbers would be much higher.
Wait until schools start back and classes are filled with these kids who don’t speak a word of English.
Obama and his party’s MSM’s position is misleading. They keep pushing this meme that, `he will act since Congress won’t’, e.g.
`President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would act alone _ even on the hot-button issue of illegal immigration _ if a divided and uncooperative Congress continued to fail to act.’
There’s a reason Congress—the Democrats and GOP-e—”isn’t acting” but it isn’t because they don’t want amnesty.
It’s because they know if they pass legislation, the SHTF with their constituents; Obama simply doesn’t care.
Even the guy selling hot dogs in front of the county Justice Center understands that it is the Congress that legislates, not the president.
When the president starts passing laws, then we have tyranny, and I contend that we’ve reached that point with Obama’s “executive orders,” or government by diktat.
When a politicain’s core principle is “get re-elected”, they need to be voted out.
What would the polls say if you add in another 11,000,000 Mexicans?
“I think amnesty is probably toxic for a huge portion of the Republicans, and probably more Democrats that you would believe — there’s a reason the Uniparty-Elite haven’t shoved this down our throats.”
TOTALLY RIGHT. They had to see Cantor’s FACE a lot more than they wished for the past two months - and it kept reminding them of their future if they listen to Karl Rove and their highly-paid adviser (most of them gay, by the way).
Their survival instincts are kicking in a bit, FINALLY.
