Congress ignores Obama, takes up 'amnesty'

What a difference 24 hours makes.

Yesterday President Obama appeared to close the door on addressing immigration reform this year, saying, "We've gone through a very tough year, and I've been working Congress pretty hard. I know there may not be an appetite to dive into another controversial issue."

But today, Democrat leaders in Washington announced a new effort just days after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a bill that enables her state to enforce illegal immigration.

The reaction to the Arizona law has ranged from condemnation by Obama to the sometimes violent protests by illegals who don't want to face police questioning about their status and the Mexican government's new warning about travel by Mexicans in Arizona.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced the new Democrat effort, noting its requirement that illegal aliens learn English and pay taxes.

"I say to my Republican colleagues, work with us to fix this broken system, and secure our borders," Reid said.

We are at war on he border. America has no choice but to protect its citizens. AZ is showing the way. California is a cesspool and nothing can be done, but Texas need to adopt the same as AZ.

This is just good cop, bad cop. Obama says he’s not interested in an Illegal Immigration bill, while telling Reid to take it up. Professes disinterest while stirring the pot. Obama and his henchmen are behind this; Reid has Obama’s blessing. Another chess move to try to fool the public while going full steam ahead.

Good grief Harry. Go to Connecticut and get your new job already.

There will be a group of tea partiers to greet Reid when he comes to Connecticut on Sunday.

How do you know when Obammie the Commie is lying?

(Obvious answer.)

He’s really losing his “golden touch.” When he said recently that he may not be able to get to “immigration reform” this year, it was an echo of what he said about “health-care reform.”

I knew it was a lie then, and I knew this last one was a lie.

It should be obvious to anyone with a brain that whenever Bozo says he won’t(or will)do something the exact opposite happens. He puts up a smoke screen and lets his minions take the heat because he thinks he is fooling everyone. Wrong Bozo! We aren’t fooled. We know you are all for amnesty. Good luck on getting it through the senate.

Further proof of what they are; criminals and terrorists.

Barf alert!! Any bill the Dems put forth to “secure” our borders will actually do the opposite, and will include all kinds of other crapola that will be detrimental to our country.

oBozo can’t endorse this, he’s either ashamed of his own birth certificate, or he doesn’t have one.

How many more years are we going to have to listen to them go on about securing the freeking border. They haven’t done it, they are not going to do it. It’s such blatant, in-our-face B.S. on the part of BOTH parties.
