Obama Amnesty Begins: Halts Deportations for 300,000 Illegal Aliens; Offers ‘Work Permits’
Stand With Arizona ^ | August 18, 2011 | John Hill--Stand With Arizona

Posted on 08/18/2011 3:42:59 PM PDT by luvie

The Obama Administration today announced a virtual amnesty-by-decree for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, whose deportations will be “indefinitely delayed”. In addition, Obama finally announced a jobs program – but for ILLEGAL ALIENS, not citizens – as those 300,000 illegals will also become eligible for “work permits“.

This action represents an administrative end-run around Congress, which twice rejected the ‘DREAM Act’ in 2010. As disgraceful as is this usurpation of Congressional authority, this announcement is even worse than is being reported.

....and George Bush.

Remember his....'they're doing the jobs Americans won't do'.......

Would be lovely to find a President that actually looks out for the well being of his citizens.

but I think Obama’s announcement is both (a) an attempt to solidify his base among Latinos

Not the legal ones. I dare you ask my neighbors who are 5th or 6th generation LEGAL Hispanic immigrants. They hate the illegal immigrants as much as anyone on FR.

I believe this is an impeachable offense...questions though:
1. Will it take precious resources Obama hopes we take off looking into other things and distract Congress?
2. Who in the R party will bring up articles of impeachment (Issa? Boehner? Ryan? Who brings up such?)?
3. While Congress is also “on vacation”, are there any tweets or Facebook messages from any congress critters saying this is impeachable, etc.?

Anyone out there know anything on these three points?

Yes, the 300,000 is really going to help the unemployment rate stay high. I feel this will hurt his chances in 2012. eff him.

I want my free felony - to be determined at a later date.

Congress must put an end to this by censure, reaffirmation, or new law!

You are my hero for doing that! They NEED to be raked over coals for letting this fly under the radar....and all the other hundreds of them do, too!

I feel for you having that pair for your state leaders. I’m sure they agree with the fake president. If it can happen on the southern border, it can happen up there, too...in case they haven’t thought of that!

You are so sweet. I'm no hero though. It feels good to rail on Frankenmonkey and Klobuchar! LOL

Minnesota is interesting as we say here. At least we have Bachmann and Kline for a bit of balance. I do worry about our border to the north. All one hears is 'crickets' regarding the issue. Anyone nefarious would have a lot of cover in the sparsely populated north woods.

Thanks! The real history of Amnesty must be known and not repeated.

This is bad news for all the Americans who are still without jobs and are looking for employment!

Message to those who don't bow down to the Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue: "Either support the state or we'll find someone who will." Pretty simple. Pretty obvious.

And elected Republicans have said what about this issue? they’re scrambling to the microphone to complain? they’re running ads showing how high our unemployment rate is and mentioning what Obama is doing? Maxine Waters is complaining about this because black unemployment is so high?

The only staying I’ve been guilty of was staying too long and not giving up.

This one is a case of going underground until the election and only staying if it turns out right.

To give you an idea of where the Republican establishment is on this issue, there isn’t a single mention of this outrage on nationalreview.com. Not even on “The Corner” blog, on which the regular NR contributors post regular comments. There is a significant chunk of the GOP that loves illegal immigration as a source of cheap labour.

MISTLETOE: Mistletoe is especially interesting botanically because it is a partial parasite (a “hemiparasite”). As a parasitic plant, it grows on the branches or trunk of a tree and actually sends out roots that penetrate into the tree and take up nutrients. But mistletoe is also capable for growing on its own; like other plants it can produce its own food by photosynthesis. Mistletoe, however, is more commonly found growing as a parasitic plant.

I look at the illegal immigrants much like mistletoe plants. At first, they are hard to notice. They almost take on the appearance of their ‘food source’. They sneak in, unnoticed, attach to a host, and start feeding, even though the plants can survive on their own. They multiply quickly, once they have attached to a host, with their ‘babies’ covering the ‘Mother Lode’. Once they have taken up their ‘free lodging’, their roots go deep into the host, robbing it of it’s life source, and slowly drain it dry.

Mistletoe .......illegal immigrants......PARASITES

Very good analogy.

It’s a shame that the administration views the relationship as symbiotic rather than parasitic...
