Will every 2016 GOP candidate have to pledge to reverse Obama's Executive order on amnesty?
one man's opinion...

Posted on 08/27/2014 6:53:34 AM PDT by ken5050

In politics, like chess...it's important to think several moves ahead. For several months now, we've been told that by the end of summer, Obama will use his pen and cell phone to issue executive orders granting amnesty to some 5 million now illegally in the US. The thing about Executive Orders, is that they're just that...they're not law, and they're not binding on future presidents. So....


TOPICS: Politics
KEYWORDS: 2016gopprimary; 2016issues
Marco Rubio yesterday warned Obama against taking any such action. Byron York has a superb column discussing Rubio's comments here . A must read.

Even if the GOP wins the Senate in November, and Congress passes bills overturning Obama's action..Obama will veto them.

Which brings us smack dab into the 2016 presidential campaign. One GOP hopeful will be the first to announce that if elected, his first action will be to overturn Obama executive order. Heck, if you read Rubio's comments in the link above..he sounds like he's ready to do it himself.

So, what happens then?

Will all the other candidates feel the need to go along. Could anyone who doesn't take the pledge have a chance of winning a Republican primary? And what about the 5 million newly amnestied..are they now suddenly "illegal" again? Does it get tied up in the courts for years? The MSM rails against "cruel Republicans..you can write the headlines.

It seems to me that there are a lot of unasked, let alone unanswered questions here.

Is this the Democrats' real strategy?

Just like they pledged to overturn Traitorobamacare?!?

Or like any 2016 GOP candidate for president will pledge to indict Traitorobama and his regime for giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

May GOP political candidates could just pledge that, if elected, they will be no more than some specified fraction of a traitor relative to their Demonicrat opponent.

Pen is for keeping score, phone is for arranging tee times.

The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF will grant amnesty to ILLEGAL ALIENS (including himself).
WHERE'S the surprise or news in that?

Obama is NOT black !
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is ARAB-KENYAN. The Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one guilty of TREASON ! ) has NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States.
Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II, because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so, at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.

Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !

So .........
ANYTHING (and I do mean ANYTHING) he signs or signed into law, is null and VOID of any legal authority.
It is NOT legal, and it is NOT law, and it never was!

Every 2016 GOP candidate should also bring up the question of Islam in our midst.

Our congress critters are totally mute about the terrorists that live among us and seem to be embarrassed to even bring up the subject.

Stop muzzie immigration all together — we don’t need them, they have nothing to offer our society and they have no intention to integrate and are here to destroy our way of life.

Read the Koran, dammit! Drop your PC attitude. Do something for your country for a change instead of only thinking of your precious careers!

Such a pledge will be good so long as there is a Senate that will not pass it and a president that will veto it. Much show will be made then the subject will fade away as the Republicans learn the benefits of fatter bank accounts and long term income.

Stop (Moslem) immigration altogether

What the US and most other nations need is a time out from ALL immigration. That includes refugee status.

The nation is at a crisis point, and it's becoming a matter of how the collapse of at least some aspects of our once great civilization will be handled. The best that can be done now is to manage the decline in such a way that at least some parts of the US and other countries can emerge from it.

I should think so, but will they actually do it?

What if the Sultan does more than "Amnesty?" The best move he could make is to grant all the illegals Citizenship. He would then defy Congress and the Senate would approve. Congress would do nothing about it except complain loudly. The Court may take it up quickly but meanwhile the Sultan will have sent his voting counselors throughout the country and will have intimidated most of the States (those that aren't eager for it) into allowing them all to vote. Whatever the Court decides, the Sultan would simply ignore or declare the Court's decision Unconstitutional and keep going. What will stop him? I pray that the man's reputed cowardice keeps him from doing that but that is how far down the road to overt dictatorship we have come. He can do it and would likely be successful.

The people have guns. Are there leaders? Perhaps the military would step in but that presents problems in itself.

Won’t matter cause you know everyone who benefitted will sue, and the Federal Courts in the end will insist that Obama’s deal be upheld.

Why would anyone believe them if they did? They gave an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and see how that has gone.

True amnesty is for a crime committed in the past; unless they are given legal status and can prove it, from the point forward the amnesty was granted another crime was committed.

Obama can't wait to E/O amnesty----b/c the Dummies need a smoke-screen to disguise the massive 2014 voter fraud machine. The Dummies got names of the swarmers already registered---they'll send in ringers to vote the names on election day.

Now I'm betting the border-jumpers are in no rush to get "legalized." They got a dam good thing going---cashing multiple US govt checks under several identities.

They dont want that money pile messed up....... and neither do their foreign handlers.

Their homeland govts are making a bundle via the swarmers' "remittances" (AKA money-laundered US tax dollars wired offshore.)
