While you weren’t looking, Obama passed immigration amnesty
Legal Insurrection ^ | 8/20/2011 | William Jacobson

Posted on 08/20/2011 8:09:09 AM PDT by Lakeshark

He didn’t pass it through Congress, even though he had overwhelming majorities for almost two years, because there were not enough votes. He also didn’t do it by regulation, because that would take time and be subject to public comment and other messy procedures.

Instead, Obama simply has issued an internal policy not to deport illegal aliens other than those who have committed some other serious crime.

Janet Napolitano tried to justify the change based on the need to focus on violent criminals and couched the change in the language of prosecutorial discretion. Those excuses were flat out pretexts; each of the justifications has existed for years. This is simply part of Obama’s 2012 campaign, as he hopes to gain votes in states with large Hispanic populations.

If the mexicans buy into this stuff and vote heavily for nobama, it will be abundantly clear who the second group is to be put down or put out.

Unfortunately he was getting ready to do this for the past year. It was accomplished on his latest “listening bus tour”.

it’s always the dark of night over a weekend that we are forced to live with this failed administration. Force and sneekery is all they know. It will take time to undo what this nightmare half and half has done.

This is clearly illegal and unconstitutional, why aren’t the Republicans pressing charges? Where has our collective courage gone or are the Congressional enablers too afraid to do their sworn duty and start impeachment proceedings? This conduct is outrageous and dangerous and somebody in D.C. better stand up and stop this communist from breaking the law! Arrest Napolitano, Obama and anyone else connected to this ring of criminals.

Who is going to press charges, Eric Holder?

It is outrageous, and it's being done while congess in recess, during a time very few people are looking. Bambi knows the press will never report this widely, it's just who he is.

Ever wonder if part of the reason Obama is so urgent on this immigration thing is because he is an illegal immigrant?

Who’s to say that Stanley Dunham didn’t bring Obama back from Kenya/Indonesia/whatever illegally and claim he was her child?

Has anyone ever seen a photo of Stanley Ann pregnant?

Are there no Republicans in the Latino community? Does anyone speak Spanish? Campaign for the truth now, and being religious conservatives the Latino community just may register Republican. :)

With this blue states will self destruct and we can expect increasing Blue State to Red State migration of productive people. New York, with net negative population growth already and productive young people leaving in droves, can now expect an influx of criminal aliens. Democrats will turn entire states into slums, it’s how they rule in perpetuity. “Blight is Might!” It may well now be irreversible.

This will effectively turn progressive blue states into super havens, criminal havens of illegal aliens, as these progressive states will not report illegal immigrant’s criminal history (See story excerpt below):

“New York pulls out of federal immigration program”
June 1, 2011

New York (CNN) — New York is pulling out of a controversial federal program aimed at catching and deporting illegal immigrants with criminal histories, the state’s governor said Wednesday.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he is suspending the state’s participation in the program because of concerns about “its impact on families, immigrant communities and law enforcement in New York.”

Hypothetical question:

Would starting CWII be worth not letting Obastard do to US what Hitler did to Germany?

Inquiring minds want to know.

My guess is that he did this with the tacit approval of the GOP Establishment. Congress has the power to force the issue, but will they? I suspect he knows they won’t at all. A couple of rogue congressmen will squawk here and there, but that’ll be the extent of it.

This is the big issue that the GOP is even more dreadful on than spending and big government. This will assure the perpetual votes for a big, sclerotic, affirmative-action-driven federal government. It will guarantee the continued and hastened decline of the US.

That’s too funny, but the p-i-g is much friendlier looking than Dear Dictator.

I live in New York and I think it’s sad, but I already knew I was leaving eventually/inevitably.

Dallas Stock Exchange and Phoenix Mercantile Exchange…build it and they’ll come!

New York and Illinois…don’t forget to turn off the light when you leave.
